The Future of Ticketing, Streaming, and Events — Live Now and Ready to Scale

FORT WORTH, Texas, May 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lottery.com Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRY, LTRYW), a leading technology company transforming the intersection of gaming, sports, and entertainment, today announced that it has signed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to acquire a majority stake in DotCom Ventures Inc., a Nevada corporation (“DVI”), together with the premium domain assets Concerts.com and TicketStub.com, in a transaction valued at $10 million.

This strategic investment will form the third foundational pillar of Lottery.com’s expanding platform — standing alongside Sports.com and Lottery.com as part of a vertically integrated, multi-channel entertainment business. Together, these brands will create the concrete base of a next-generation ecosystem designed to unify content, commerce, and live experiences under a single global strategy. Concerts.com and TicketStub.com are live, operational, and built for scale — delivering real value and revenue potential from day one. The platforms feature:

• Verified ticket inventory only — no speculative listings
• Transparent, fan-first pricing with no hidden fees
• Event inventory consisting of sports, concerts, comedy, esports, and festivals

Acquisition Key Highlights

• $10M investment includes Concerts.com, TicketStub.com, and 51% of DVI
• Live and operational platforms already serving real ticket demand
• Best-in-class access to verified, non-speculative secondary ticket inventory
• No hidden fees and highly competitive pricing model
• Direct integration with Sports.com’s live streaming infrastructure
• Dual-brand strategy: Concerts.com (premium events) + TicketStub.com (broad fan utility)
• Positioned to be the go-to destination for live event discovery and commerce
• Revenue-ready infrastructure supporting rapid monetization
• Original content to be created by Sports.com Studios for both platforms

Matthew McGahan, CEO of Lottery.com and Sports.com said,

“While Concerts.com and Sports.com are hallmark media brands, we intend to make TicketStub.com the trusted ticketing site for fans of all live entertainment. Concerts.com is the perfect third vertical for our business. It will become the ticketing engine for Sports.com — giving us a unified commerce and content strategy around everything from sports to festivals to immersive experiences.”

Strategic $10 Million Investment Demonstrates Long-Term Vision

Acquiring a majority stake in DVI represents a $10 million transaction, comprised of a strategic blend of cash, secured debt, and equity issued at up to $3.00 per share — further validating the strength of the Lottery.com and Sports.com platform.

“Deals like this, which include stock at $3 per share, reinforce the belief in the value we’re building with Lottery.com, Sports.com and now, Concerts.com,” McGahan added. “This isn’t just an acquisition; it’s a commitment to a five-year vision, and a statement to the market that we are serious about scaling globally with premium digital assets.”

A Long-Term Partnership with a Shared Vision

“Our vision of providing fans with the information and access they need to discover the live events they want can now be realized on a global scale through Concerts.com and Sports.com,” said Patrick Ogle, CEO and founder of DVI. “DVI looked at several other partners over the last year. Ultimately, we knew that these assets belong together, and fans deserve reliable access to a live entertainment platform they can trust. With the backing of Lottery.com and the infrastructure behind Sports.com, we’re building more than a platform — we’re creating a new standard for how fans connect to live experiences.”

Ogle is an entrepreneurial lawyer and digital strategist with more than two decades of experience spanning media, entertainment, and athlete representation. From his early days as an intern at Jerry Bruckheimer Films and Television and Network Music Group, to 20+ years managing the business and legal affairs of athletes and entertainers, Ogle has built a career at the intersection of entertainment and infrastructure. He is a former 15-year member of The Recording Academy, and an active voting member of the Country Music Association.

“Patrick brings more than just the domain — he brings a deep understanding of what this vision can become,” said Gregory Potts, Chief Operating Officer of Lottery.com. “Entering into this LOI is a clear vote of confidence — not just in the value of the brands, but in our collective ability to execute together over the next five years. This is an exciting culmination of a relationship that began in 2023, appropriately, at the Pilgrimage Music Festival in Franklin, TN.”

The final transaction will include the assumption of secured notes and a multi-stage stock issuance structure, reflecting alignment and long-term commitment from all parties.

Powering the Future of Live Entertainment

Concerts.com is being designed not simply as a ticketing platform, but as a fully integrated live events engine. It will serve as the primary processor of access and fan engagement, tying directly into Sports.com’s fast-growing live streaming infrastructure.

The investment in DVI will include TicketStub.com, which will operate in parallel as a brand focused on alternative entertainment verticals, including festivals, comedy, esports, and niche lifestyle events. This dual-brand strategy allows for both mainstream and genre-specific ticketing models under the broader Concerts.com umbrella.

As part of the short and mid-term roadmap:

• The brand will integrate with live streaming functionality and real-time access models across all Lottery.com and Sports.com verticals
• Sports.com’s ambassador network will amplify events across social platforms
• Concerts.com will power bundled experiences combining tickets + content + streaming
• Deliver to consumers crossover activations between sports, music, charitable gaming and culture
• Sports.com Studios will create proprietary content for Concerts.com

Domain Portfolio Strength

With the addition of Concerts.com and TicketStub.com, Lottery.com will hold what it believes to be one of the strongest domain portfolios in the world. With Lottery.com, Sports.com, and now Concerts.com, the company stands alone in its control of three world-class, category-defining digital assets.

“Very few — if any — companies can claim three domains of this caliber,” said McGahan. “And we believe the combination of Lottery.com, Sports.com, and Concerts.com is without peer in the global digital entertainment space. These assets will anchor the next decade of innovation across content, commerce, and live experiences.”

McGahan went on to say that with the addition of these assets, he believes Lottery.com is arguably one of the most exciting investment opportunities on the exchange today.

“This is a unique opportunity to invest in a company with premium global assets and a bold vision for the future of entertainment, gaming and live events.”

Strong Qualifying for Andretti Cape Driver & Red-and-Black Branding Turn Heads

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rising open-wheel talent Sebastian Murray made his second INDY NXT by Firestone start this weekend at the Grand Prix of Alabama, driving the No. 2 Dream Racing Dubai Dallara for Andretti Cape, backed by Lottery.com Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRY, LTRYW) and Sports.com.

Key Highlights:

• Qualified P10 – Murray’s best qualifying result of the season so far
• Climbed to P8 during the race before an incident forced a drop in pace
• Finished P16, now P17 in the championship standings (27 points)
• Next stop: Double-header at Indianapolis Motor Speedway – May 9 & 10

Murray impressed in qualifying, starting P10 on the grid at the technically demanding Barber Motorsports Park. He was running inside the top ten and pushing toward the front until a snap in the rear of the car forced him off-track in Turn 8, damaging his tires and limiting his pace over the final 26 laps.

“Our race pace was really good up until we were involved in an incident,” said Murray. “We were sitting in P8, and it was going well — we were going to collect some solid points.”

“It’s unfortunate, but I think there are a lot of positives to take from the weekend,” he added. “The team has done a great job, so thank you to everyone at Andretti Cape. We’ll move on to Indy next week, and hopefully we can get some proper points.”

This race marked the official debut of Lottery.com and Sports.com branding on the No. 2 car and Murray’s race suit, with logos featured on the rear wing, front nose cone, and driver overalls — launching a full-season campaign that blends elite motorsport exposure with fan engagement and digital content.

Murray now prepares for a back-to-back test of endurance and precision at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course, with two INDY NXT races scheduled for May 9 and May 10.

“We’re incredibly proud of Sebastian Murray’s race,” said Marc Bircham, Director of Sports.com and Head of Sporting Acquisitions. “To qualify in the top 10 was an outstanding achievement. In my career, I’ve coached many young athletes, and the first few times on the big stage is nerve-racking. Seb showed great promise and made a gallant effort to move up to 8th position before the incident. Overall, we are pleased with his performance and are looking forward to seeing Sebastian progress as the season goes on. He’s definitely a driver for the future.”

“We were also delighted with the look of the car — the red and black design with Lottery.com and Sports.com branding stood out as the most attractive car on the grid.”
