Company Press Release

Winners Internet Network, Inc. Announces That It has Been Successfully
Listed On Hamburg Stock Exchange for European Trading

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 10, 2000--David C. Skinner, Jr., President and CEO of Winners Internet Network, Inc. (OTCBB:WINR -
news), www.winr.net, today announced that WINR has been accepted for listing on a newly created segment of the Hamburg Stock Exchange designed to feature
primarily U.S.-based companies currently traded on the Bulletin Board and NASDAQ exchanges. The Hamburg exchange, wishing to insure a high standard of
quality in this new market segment, has imposed a set of strict admission requirements which have now been met by WINR.

``This Hamburg listing is very significant in light of WINR`s major focus in Europe because it enables German and other European investors to trade our stock on a
local platform, significantly reducing their trading costs and making the stock even more attractive as an investment than it might otherwise be,'' said Mr. Skinner.
``We take pride in having passed the exchange`s admission requirements. And we appreciate the implied belief and confidence in WINR and its future success
shown by those in the brokerage community such as Boersenmarkler Schnigge AG who have agreed to serve as market makers in WINR stock.''

WINR stock begins trading March 10, 2000 on the Hamburg exchange. ``This listing provides far easier access to WINR for investors in Europe who may be more
familiar with the company and its business operations and development opportunities. We anticipate that the additional trading volume on the Hamburg exchange
should serve to increase liquidity and support the stock. The choice of Hamburg, which is the largest banking center in Europe, dovetails with our recently announced
entry into the mainstream Internet banking and finance arenas, providing opportunities for industry contacts and partnerships. We look forward to more than meeting
the high expectations of both our European and US shareholders as we move aggressively to implement our strategic Internet & E-Commerce infrastructure plans.''

About the Hamburg Stock Exchange

The venerable Hamburg Stock Exchange is the oldest exchange in Germany, founded in its original form in 1558 and having just celebrated the 335th anniversary of
its present form in January, 2000. It is also the most modern. According to an official announcement from the Hamburg Stock Exchange, executions through
Hamburg's ``BOSS'' system are more efficient and economical than those through the Frankfurt Stock Exchange's ``XETRA'' system. The announcement stated
``since January 1999, Hamburg's leading brokers have been guaranteeing that orders issued via the BOSS system will receive better executions for the customer
than a simultaneously issued order through the XETRA system, proving their confidence that executing orders via the Hamburg Stock Exchange is more economical
than via the XETRA electronic trading system.''

About Hamburg

Hamburg is an international metropolis known for a high quality of life and global commerce. It is home to 96 consulates as well as numerous trading centres and
cultural establishments from countries around the world, and boasts more than 3,500 companies with international business activities.

Hamburg is also by all accounts the most important and dominant city in Germany with regard to the Internet and multimedia. Studies in the press have stated that
every third click on the German internet hits a page which has been generated in Hamburg. This uniquely large market share of the German internet is the result of a
broad base of both established and start up internet companies in the city, which has been cause for Hamburg being dubbed in the press as Germany's ``Web City''.
The city reports over 18,000 companies being founded annually, many of these in the high tech and internet arenas.

Hamburg has the largest banking establishment in all of Germany, with 60 German banks and 37 foreign banks headquartered in Hamburg. A further 135 banks have
branches in Hamburg. The Hamburg Stock Exchange is centrally situated in Hamburg's banking quarter. This strong financial community further supports Hamburg's
burgeoning high tech industry with easy access to institutional and private venture capital for worthwhile enterprises, and provides a knowledgeable and interested
investor pool for companies listed on the Hamburg Exchange. Perhaps as a result of all these supporting factors, Hamburg boasts the highest percentage success rate
for newly formed companies of any city in Germany.
