                           ("NMLS" or "the Company")

                        UPDATE ON IRISH REHAB LOTTERIES


The Board of New Media Lottery Services PLC, the AIM traded supplier and
operator of lottery systems and games for  government sanctioned lottery
programs and charities, today announces that since its promotional launch on 14
November  2005, its Rehab Lotteries online bingo site in Ireland has surpassed
Euro2 million in prize payouts. In addition, the site's lottery sales growth trend
has continued to exceed management's expectations into May, the first month of
the  new fiscal year.

Commenting on passing the Euro2 million payout milestone, John Carson, CEO, said
"The Rehab bingo program has the long term growth potential associated with a
strong lottery brand, which gives the Directors confidence in the Company's roll
out strategy."

Dr McGuire, Managing Director of Rehab Lotteries, said "Bingo has always been a
hugely popular method of charity fund-raising in Ireland and we believe that the
online version of the game will become a major contributor to developing Rehab
services throughout Ireland.  We expect online bingo and lottery activities to
be a very important source of fundraising revenue in the future especially as
the retailing of traditional lottery games through shops becomes more 
difficult."
