A group of top NASCAR race drivers have agreed to join industry leader MDI Entertainment Inc. for lottery games and promotions, the company announced today. The drivers have awarded exclusive licensing rights for government-sponsored lottery games and promotions to MDI Entertainment, Inc. The Company will offer games and promotions featuring these famous drivers to lotteries in North America and elsewhere. The Wisconsin Lottery will be the first to launch an instant game featuring the drivers. RACE FOR CASH, a $2 ticket with a top cash prize of $25,000, goes on sale in late June. The game will include a second chance bonus in which lottery players will be able to enter non-winning tickets for the chance to win a trip to the NASCAR(R) race of their choice and prize packages of driver-related merchandise. The following are the six MDI licensed drivers: Dale Earnhardt; Dale Earnhardt, Jr.; Bill Elliott; Matt Kenseth; Jeff Burton; and Mark Martin(Business Wire)(5-17-2000)
