                            LETTER TO GTECH CUSTOMERS

Dear:

Recently,  GTECH  announced  that it has entered  into an  agreement  to acquire
Interlott  Technologies,  the world's leading provider of instant ticket vending
machines (ITVMs) for the lottery  industry.  This letter will share with you our
perspective  on the  transaction.  GTECH's  primary focus is on growing our core
lottery  business  and  maintaining  our  innovative  leadership  in the lottery
industry.  The  Interlott  acquisition  furthers that strategy by giving GTECH a
major entry into the instant  ticket  distribution  segment,  one of the fastest
growing segments of the lottery industry today.

We are  entering  into  this  transaction  not with an idea  that we need to fix
something at Interlott,  but with a firm belief that we can strengthen Interlott
by providing  access to greater  resources.  Interlott  has been able to achieve
significant market share because of quality,  performance,  and attentiveness to
customers. That client commitment will not change.

By combining  GTECH's online  technology  expertise and  Interlott's  proven and
patented  ITVM  technology,  we will be able to  deliver  not only  new  lottery
products for consumers, but also new capabilities and services for retailers and
lottery  customers.  Online  automation  will  also make it  possible  for GTECH
customers    to   combine    management    reporting    of   both   online   and
instant-ticket-vending  activity.  As a result,  our customers  will have a more
comprehensive and accurate picture of their total lottery  business,  which will
enable them to identify trends faster and make better-informed decisions.

The online ITVM concept is part of a larger trend toward self-service in retail.
Consumers  have  demonstrated a preference for  self-service.  Retailers  employ
self-service  strategies to increase sales without  having to increase  staffing
requirements.  GTECH has several initiatives  underway to bring the self-service
functionality to the lottery market. The Interlott  acquisition will enhance and
accelerate those efforts.

It is expected  that the  transaction  will take about 120 days to complete.  At
that time,  Interlott will become a wholly-owned  subsidiary of GTECH continuing
to maintain its contractual relationships and brand identity. A cross-functional
team of senior managers has been instituted,  reporting to GTECH Chief Operating
Officer David Calabro,  that will be responsible for integrating  Interlott with
GTECH's  operations.  Please be assured  that we will  provide  you with  timely
updates related to the integration team's activities.

I hope the  actions  we have taken to  acquire  Interlott  help bring into clear
focus an impression that I have been cultivating with our customers,  employees,
and  shareholders  - GTECH's  leadership  position in the lottery  industry is a
distinction we do not take for granted.  We are  continually  seeking to improve
our service and enhance our offerings.  GTECH strives to be a comprehensive  and
innovative solution provider to the lottery industry.  The Interlott acquisition
is an important element of that strategy.

As always, if I can provide anything further, please feel free to contact me. In
the  meantime,  I urge  you to  review  our SEC  filings  to  obtain  additional
information about this transaction. GTECH would be happy to furnish you with any
of this  information,  or you can visit the SEC's website at  www.sec.gov  for a
free copy.

Sincerely,

WBT
