GoalMillions Launched by Media Corp

Following a successful beta trial, Media Corporation Plc has released a new online football based skill game, one of two under the GoalMillions umbrella offering a GBP 1 million jackpot. In Quick Fire players need to correctly pick the six quickest teams to score while Golden Goals requires the player to correctly select the six teams to score last – all among a choice of 48 teams from a selection of 24 fixtures across the English and Scottish football leagues. Draws for the massive jackpot will be made each week from players correctly selecting that week's Quick Fire and Golden Goals teams from 19 April 2013 until the end of the season. The final draw will take place on 5 May 2013, and in case of multiple winners, the GBP 1 million prize will be shared equally between them. In related news, an announcement came from Media Corp about the issue of 10 000 000 new ordinary shares as "the second of a two-part milestone payment" to an un-named former consultant for services provided to the company. According to Phil Jackson, chief executive officer of Media Corp plc, "These developments represent a positive step forward for the Company following its decision to dispose of its non-core assets. Media Corporation is now focusing on commercialising existing intellectual property and developing further new technologies specifically in the gaming arena."
