======================================================= December 23, 2002

Dear Colleague,

It is with great pleasure that I have the opportunity to invite you to SMART-Tech 2003 in Charleston, South Carolina!

It is hard to believe that at this time last year the South Carolina Education Lottery (SCEL) had not sold the first lottery ticket. Almost a year has past and my knowledge of our industry has certainly grown by leaps and bounds. Our lottery’s success is due in part to the hard work of our great employees; however, we owe both our fellow colleagues and vendors a debt of gratitude.

The SMART-Tech 2003 conference is filled with educational seminars, panel discussions and new ideas that we trust will be beneficial to you.

As the co-host with Public Gaming Research Institute, the South Carolina Education Lottery invites you to join us in learning, sharing and communicating the cutting-edge issues that will shape our industry.

The southern hospitality and charm of Charleston, SC is the perfect setting to host this conference. Please join us at SMART-Tech 2003 in Charleston, February 9-12.

Sincerely,

Ernie Passailaigue Executive Director
