<HR NOSHADE ALIGN="CENTER" WIDTH="120">

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Dear
Shareholder: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The
purpose of this letter is to inform you that shareholders representing more than 70% of our outstanding Common Stock have executed a Written Consent in Lieu of Special Meeting, with an effective
date of January&nbsp;31, 2005, approving an increase in the authorized Common Stock capitalization limit of our Company. Under Utah law, our Articles of Incorporation, and Bylaws, this consent will
satisfy the shareholder approval requirement for the approval of the increase in the authorized Common Stock capitalization limit of our Company. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>This
letter and the accompanying Information Statement are being furnished to the holders of record of the Company's Common Stock on December&nbsp;31, 2004. The Information Statement is being mailed
to shareholders on or about January&nbsp;10, 2005. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT SIZE=2><B>WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND<BR>
YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Section&nbsp;16-10a-704
of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (the "</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Business Corporation Act</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>") provides that the
written consent of the holders of the outstanding shares of voting stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at
which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, may be substituted for such a meeting. Pursuant to Section&nbsp;16-10a-1003 of the Business Corporation Act,
a majority of the outstanding voting shares of stock entitled to vote thereon is required in order to amend our Articles of Incorporation. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved
in having a special meeting of shareholders and obtaining proxies and in order to effect the resolutions as early as possible in order to accomplish the purposes of the Company as hereafter described,
the Board of Directors of the Company voted to utilize, and did in fact obtain, the written consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Pursuant
to Section&nbsp;16-10a-704 of the Business Corporation Act, the Company is required to provide prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting
of the shareholders who have not consented in writing to such action. The Information Statement is intended to provide such notice. No dissenters' or appraisal rights under the Business Corporation
Act are afforded to the Company's shareholders as a result of the approval of the proposal. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The
accompanying Information Statement is for informational purposes only. It describes why an increase in the authorized Common Stock capitalization limit was required, and contains other disclosures
required by law in connection with shareholder approval of the increase in the authorized Common Stock capitalization limit of our Company. Please read the accompanying Information Statement
carefully. </FONT></P>

International,&nbsp;Inc., a Utah corporation. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The
Information Statement is being sent to shareholders of Powerball to comply with the requirements of Section&nbsp;14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and to provide information to all
shareholders in connection with actions by written consent taken by shareholders collectively owning more than 70% of our outstanding shares. Such action constitutes the approval and consent of
shareholders representing a sufficient percentage of the total outstanding shares to approve an increase in the authorized Common Stock capitalization limit of the Company. Accordingly, the actions
will not be submitted to the other shareholders of our company for a vote. The written consent will be effective on January&nbsp;31, 2005, which is 20 calendar days after the date this Information
Statement is first mailed to all shareholders in accordance with Rule&nbsp;14c-2(b) of the Securities Exchange Act. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>We
will pay all costs associated with the distribution of this Information Statement, including the costs of printing and mailing. We will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and
fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in sending this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of our Common Stock. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>The board of directors fixed the close of business on December&nbsp;31</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>2004 as the record date for the action by written
consent and for determining the shareholders entitled to receive this Information Statement. As of the record date, there were 22,833,900 common shares outstanding. Each common share held as of the
record date was entitled to one vote per share. We have no other voting securities outstanding. Approval of the increase in the authorized Common Stock capitalization limit of our Company was obtained
by written consent of the shareholders rather than at a meeting of shareholders.</B></FONT></P>

<BR></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>APPROVAL OF AN INCREASE IN THE AUTHORIZED<BR>  COMMON STOCK CAPITALIZATION LIMIT    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Our
Board of Directors, by resolution dated effective December&nbsp;31, 2004, approved, declared it advisable and in the Company's best interests and directed that there be submitted to the holders
of a majority of the Company's Common Stock for action by written consent, the adoption of amended and restated Articles of Incorporation. Such amended and restated Articles of Incorporation will
effect an amendment to Article&nbsp;III of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, to increase the authorized Common Stock capitalization limit from twenty-five million (25,000,000)
shares to one hundred fifty million (150,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share. A copy of the proposed form of Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company is
attached as </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Appendix&nbsp;A.</I></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>On
December&nbsp;31, 2004, shareholders owning greater than a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock approved the proposed amendment by action taken by written consent without a meeting
in accordance with the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act. No further vote of our shareholders is required. The Written Consent in Lieu of Special Meeting to evidence such action has an effective
date of January&nbsp;31, 2005, which is 20 calendar days after the date this Information Statement and the accompanying letter are first mailed to all shareholders in accordance with
Rule&nbsp;14c-2(b) of the Securities Exchange Act. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The
purpose of the additional authorized shares of Common Stock is to benefit the Company by providing flexibility to the Board of Directors, without requiring further action or authorization by the
shareholders (except as may be required by applicable law) to issue additional shares of Common Stock from time to time to respond to business needs and opportunities as they arise, or for other
proper corporate purposes. These needs, opportunities and purposes might include, for example obtaining capital funds through public and private offerings of shares of Common Stock or securities
convertible into shares of Common Stock and using shares of Common Stock in connection with structuring possible acquisitions of businesses and assets. Additionally, the Board of Directors, in its
discretion, could in the future declare stock splits or stock dividends or, subject to shareholder approval, increase, establish or extend stock option or stock award plans. The Company may evaluate
potential acquisitions from time to time. No stock splits, dividends or other actions requiring the availability of the additional authorized shares of Common Stock have been approved by the Board of
Directors as of the date of this Information Statement. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Increasing
the number of authorized share of Common Stock will not have any immediate effect on the rights of current shareholders. However, the Board of Directors will have the authority to issue
authorized shares of Common Stock without requiring future shareholder approval of those issuances (except as may be required by applicable law). If the Board of Directors determines that an issuance
of shares of the Company's Common Stock is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, the issuance of additional shares could have the effect of diluting the earning per share or the
book value per share of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the stock ownership or voting rights of a shareholder. The holders of the Company's Common Stock have no preemptive right to purchase
any of the additional shares of Common Stock when issued. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The
increase in the authorized Common Stock capitalization limit is reflected in the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company. When filed with the Utah Secretary of State, the
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation will increase the authorized Common Stock capitalization of our Company from 25&nbsp;million shares to 150&nbsp;million shares. </FONT></P>
