U.S. Marine Wins $10,000 from Bid4Prizes!

23-Year Old Lance Corporal Ending Second Tour of Duty in Iraq & Planning for College; Also Won $500 Gift Certificate to Tiffany's

IRVINE, Calif. -- A 23-year old U.S. Marine completing his second tour of duty in Iraq, Lance Cpl. Raymond Stone, won $10,000 from the innovative reverse

auction game site Bid4Prizes, it was announced today by Burton Katz, chief executive officer of New Motion Inc. (OTCBB: NWMO). A brand new concept in auction games, Bid4Prizes participants use the Internet or their cell phone to bid on a wide range of products, and the lowest unique bid wins. Participants also earn tokens to play arcade games in which they can win instant prizes.

Stone, who is based at Twentynine Palms, CA, until his discharge next month, was presented with his winnings this week, and was ferried with 20 friends and family members by limousine to The Village Pub in Palm Springs to celebrate. He plans to use his winnings, won from the arcade portion of the site, to help pay for college costs. Additionally, last month Stone bid on and won a $500 gift certificate to Tiffany's, which he will be using to buy a gift for his mother. LCpl. Stone is originally from Durham, CT, and will be attending the Art Institute of Santa Monica in Santa Monica, CA, to study graphic design.

"We are always excited for our Bid4Prizes members when they win our prizes," said Katz. "But it is especially heartwarming when someone like LCpl. Stone, who has served our country, is a big winner. We wish him the best of luck as he pursues his interests in civilian life, and we are delighted to be a part of making that transition extra noteworthy for him."

Stone said, "This was absolutely perfect timing. Money is really tight when you are leaving the military and preparing to start college. I will be able to pay off my debts and pay for a portion of my tuition with these winnings, a reality that was a distant dream just a few days ago."
