CREATOR CAPITAL LIMITED "Deborah Fortescue-Merrin" _____________________________ Name: Deborah Fortescue-Merrin Title: President EXHIBIT 1 News Release January 23, 2002 Creator Capital Limited Cedar House, 41 Cedar Street Hamilton HM 12 Islands of Bermuda PRESS RELEASE HAMILTON, BERMUDA - January 23, 2002 - CREATOR CAPITAL LIMITED (CTORF:OTCBB) ("CCL") is pleased to provide its shareholders with the following update. While audited figures have not yet been received, CCL has been informed that total sales generated through the main location and the seven satellite locations selling the Soccer Betting Lottery in China, have almost doubled month over month since its launch three months ago. CCL's associates, Beacon Hill Investments Ltd., have informed CCL that the main location is one of only two such government sanctioned destination locations in all of Mainland China (population 1.3 billion). To further assist our shareholders in understanding the mechanics of the Soccer Betting Lottery, the following excerpts from various newspaper articles are included below: The China Daily, Hong Kong Edition: "The official soccer lottery is the first single-game lottery since the country's general sports lottery successfully attracted a large number of regular buyers and brought great profits. But for the time being, ticket holders cannot bet on Chinese football games, but can wager on the English Premiership and Italy's Serie A. The Sports Lottery Administration Centre, which is in charge of the launch of the football lottery, explained that this was because China's professional football games and the operation of the lottery were not mature enough, but would be included when the time comes. The single-event sports lottery is expected to be a perfect combination of gambling and learning, said Sun Jinfang, director of the Administration Centre. "It can further trigger people's enthusiasm for football (soccer) and allow them to know the sporting event better through the lottery," she added. Football (Soccer) has been attracting more loyal and enthusiastic fans in China, and the country introduced a professional league nearly a decade ago. Chinese football fans not only cry for their own teams, but they also support the world's top teams. The government hopes the official soccer lottery will replace underground football gambling For every round of football (soccer) games in England and Italy, Chinese people will choose nine Italian games and four English games to gamble on. People who successfully predict the results of all 13 games will share a top prize, which includes 50 per cent of the money for all tickets sold and the leftover prizes from the previous round. Those who guess 12 results correctly will share 50 per cent of the value of all tickets. The highest prize for each prize has been limited to 5 million yuan (US$600,000). People are saying that the timing of the launch of soccer lottery is perfect, as China's national team has just qualified for the World Cup finals. Since making its debut in March 1994, the sports lottery has been growing and has become a major element of China's sports industry. The lottery sells well around the country, with ticket sales worth 9.1 billion yuan (US$1.1 billion) in 2000, a 127 per cent increase over 1999. Liu Yueye, secretary general of the administration, said the robust buying of sports lottery tickets demonstrates people's fondness for sports as well as their enjoyment of the potentially big payoffs. However, the sale of sports lottery tickets means more than just betting in China, Liu said. The lottery is important in its role in raising funds for sporting events and maintaining sports facilities." The China Daily, Business Weekly: 	"There are hundreds of millions of soccer fans in China, who pay close attention to the domestic and international soccer leagues. Therefore, the soccer lottery possesses a big potential market." said Yi Jiandong, a senior sports industry researcher at Beijing University of Physical Education. Yi said the soccer lottery would play appositive role in increasing the popularity of soccer among non-fans. "A possible prize of Rmb 5 million (US$600,000) is no doubt a great temptation." he said. The China Daily, Print Edition: "At present the lottery centers on forecasting the results of foreign soccer leagues, namely, win, tie, or loss. Ticket holders can bet on 13 matches: nine from Italy's Serie A and 4 from the English Premiership. The Chinese Soccer Lottery adopts the Italian total lottery system. People who get all the results right share the top prize, and those who only make one mistake share the second prize." Development of the www.china-lotteries.com site is continuing.
