NEW YORK, October 14/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Electronic Game Card, Inc (OTCBB: EGMI), the US rewards based
games company, today confirmed that Alabama's WJTC-TV UPN-44 is to use the

to break late October and run for 28 days. WJTC TV UPN-44 is owned and
operated by Clear Channel Communications.
Targeting the 18-34 female audience, XOGO(TM) GameCards are to

GameCard each day of the promotion. The winning number sequence for the day

announced on the final day of the promotion.
Michelle Ritter, Multi-Media Director at WPMI-NBC15 and

"Our focus at the station is to engage fully with our
audience. And for today's modern viewer that means having a two-way,
interactive relationship. The XOGO(TM) provides an ideal,
entertaining-to-play, medium through which to achieve this goal."
Approximately the size of a US driver's license and weighing
less than half an ounce, the XOGO(TM) GameCard features LCD windows in which
numbers can be spun daily by the user pressing touch pads on the card. All
XOGO(TM) GameCards feature proprietary technology incorporating sophisticated
