DETROIT, May 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lottery.com Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRY, LTRYW)(“the Company” or “Lottery.com”) and Sports.com, the next-generation sports media platform, are proud to announce their continued sponsorship of three exceptionally talented drivers — Callum Ilott, Louis Foster and Sebastian Murray — as they take to the streets of Detroit this weekend in both the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and INDY NXT by Firestone.

Callum Ilott: Lottery.com Helmet Deal Extended Through 2025
Following his standout showing at the Indianapolis 500, Callum Ilott will now wear the Lottery.com logo front and center on his custom helmet for the remainder of the 2025 season. Driving car number 90 for the Prema racing team, Ilott represents Lottery.com’s lead entry in the top-tier INDYCAR SERIES.

“We’re proud to extend our relationship with Callum,” said Matthew McGahan, Chairman and CEO of Lottery.com and Sports.com. “I had the pleasure of spending time with Callum at the Indy 500 following his great drive, and I was really impressed not only by his ability to drive the wheels off a car, but also by his commercial understanding of how important partnerships like this are for the future. We look forward to working with Callum through this year and beyond.”

Louis Foster: Sports.com Partnership Continues Post-Indy 500
After finishing 12^th and earning Top Rookie Honors at the Indy 500 last weekend, Louis Foster continues his strong run in the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing No. 45 car. The Sports.com branding will now appear on the chin of Foster’s car, showcasing the Company’s commitment to elite racing talent.

“Detroit’s a tricky track and there have been some eventful races there in recent years,” Foster commented. “The main goal is to qualify well and stay out of trouble to keep our momentum going.”

“It’s just, like, super bumpy,” he added. “It’s really short and narrow. For us to be on the limit and not end up in the wall, it just makes it very, very challenging. In some areas, it’s very narrow. In others, you have different tarmacs in different corners, which makes it hard to feel the grip of the car.”

“Not only did Louis deliver one of the outstanding drives of the Indy 500 weekend,” said Marc Bircham, Director of Sports.com, “but having spent time with him personally, I can say he’s got a fantastic personality — every sponsor’s dream. He has a great racing pedigree. He’s the complete package.”

Sebastian Murray: Rising Star Continues Indy NXT Journey
In the INDY NXT by Firestone championship, Sebastian Murray will once again carry Lottery.com branding on the rear spoiler and nose wing endplates of his Andretti Cape Motorsports machine. As the youngest driver in the group, Murray’s progression symbolizes the long-term vision for both Lottery.com and Sports.com in supporting emerging motorsport talent and driver development.

“Sebastian represents the future,” said Marc Bircham. “He’s calm under pressure and has the talent to rise quickly through the ranks. We’re excited to watch his journey unfold and to be a part of it.”

“Marc and I also had the pleasure of spending time with Sebastian over the Indy 500 weekend,” said Matthew McGahan, “and he’s not only a charming young man but an exceptional natural driver. There’s no doubt he’s one to watch.”

Detroit Street Circuit: The Challenge Ahead
Detroit’s circuit is one of the most demanding in motorsport, with tight corners, changing surfaces, and limited overtaking zones that test both driver skill and race strategy. This marks the fourth major event in May, closing out the busiest month of the INDYCAR calendar.

Company Poised to Execute on Five-Year Growth Plan Across Lottery, Sports and Entertainment Verticals

FORT WORTH, Texas, May 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lottery.com Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRY, LTRYW) (“Lottery.com” or the “Company”), a leading technology company in digital lottery, sports and entertainment, announces that its registration statement on Form S-1 has been declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as of May 14, 2025. This milestone unlocks access to a previously announced $100 million financing facility (“Financing Facility”) with Generating Alpha Ltd., providing the Company with financial flexibility to execute its aggressive acquisition and growth strategy.

This announcement follows a week of extraordinary market performance, with over 275 million shares traded and the stock surging from $0.70 to a high of $2.64. The effectiveness of the S-1 marks the official close of a two-year corporate turnaround. Under new leadership, Lottery.com has rebuilt its foundation: restructuring the Board and executive team, remediating legacy compliance issues, and implementing two clear innovative business models for Lottery.com and Sports.com.

“The turnaround is now complete. We are structurally sound, operationally ready, and strategically funded to drive aggressive growth,” said Matthew McGahan, CEO and Chairman of Lottery.com. “We’ve stabilized the Company from its foundation, secured the capital need and are moving rapidly towards driving revenue and acquiring assets that strengthen our brand ecosystem and deliver profits for the Company and its shareholders.”

The Company’s focus now turns to strategic execution—transforming capital into revenue generation and high-value assets to deliver shareholder value.

While the Financing Facility provides capital through the issuance of common stock, the Company intends to deploy proceeds not for general dilution but to accelerate revenue growth and acquire accretive assets across gaming, content, media and live events—many of which are already in late-stage negotiations. Access to immediate funding allows Lottery.com to drive revenue and complete its target acquisitions, including but not limited to DotCom Ventures Inc., owner of Concerts.com and TicketStub.com, and Nook Holdings Limited (Dubai, UAE) to further develop the Sports.com brand in the Middle East. The buy-and-build acquisition strategy is designed to:

• Drive near-term revenue and sustainable long-term profitability
• Expand global brand awareness
• Enhance shareholder value
• Maximize synergies between Lottery.com and Sports.com

McGahan added: “The S-1 going effective is transformative for Lottery.com and its shareholders. We are not just raising capital—we are deploying it against cash-generative acquisitions that enhance our balance sheet, income statement and the valuation of our brands. This is a disciplined growth phase.”

The Company’s five-year vision includes expanding Lottery.com International, launching new sweepstakes products (domestically and abroad), deepening its affiliate program and building out a robust content and IP ecosystem under Sports.com Studios—all underpinned by the funding now available through the activated Generating Alpha Financing Facility, along with continued funding from United Capital Investments Ltd.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In the running of the 109th Indianapolis 500, Louis Foster delivered a headline-grabbing performance as Top Rookie finisher, proudly representing Sports.com and Lottery.com Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRY; LTRYW) (“Lottery.com” or “the Company”) in what marked a milestone weekend for the brands’ growing presence in global motorsport.

Callum Ilott (red) and Louis Foster (black) stand next to the Borg-Warner Trophy prior to the start of the 2025 Indy 500.

Driving the #45 Desnuda Honda for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, Foster started 20th and charged into the top 10 on race day. Despite receiving two drive-through penalties for pit lane infractions, he kept his composure to bring the car home in a provisional 15th place, later elevated to P12 following post-race disqualifications of three competitors. Foster was the only rookie finisher out of four starters — a feat that underlines both his talent and maturity on the sport’s biggest stage.

“To be the top rookie in my first 500 is something I’m very proud of,” said Foster. “We had the pace to run inside the top 10, and I’m already focused on building from this heading into Detroit.”

Foster’s helmet paid tribute to key figures in his racing journey and prominently featured the Sports.com logo on the chin, signaling the brand’s deepening investment in next-generation talent.

Callum Ilott, representing PREMA Racing, delivered an equally impressive performance in the Italian team’s debut Indy 500. Running as high as fifth and ultimately finishing P12 on track, Ilott’s pace and professionalism drew strong praise. While PREMA’s #90 entry was later disqualified for a technical infringement relating to rear wing endplate height, the result did little to diminish the team’s sense of achievement in their first appearance at the Brickyard.

“It was an unforgettable experience,” said Matthew McGahan, CEO of Lottery.com and Sports.com. “I was honored to spend time with Callum, Louis, and Sebastian over the weekend — three exceptional young drivers who gave it their all. The race itself was spectacular. Having attended many Formula One events in my career, this was my first Indy 500. This event wasn’t just a race; it was a spectacle.”

“As a former professional athlete myself, this was my first time attending the Indianapolis 500 — and I can honestly say I’ve never experienced anything like it,” added Marc Bircham, Director of Sports.com. “From the roar of the crowd to the Black Hawk helicopters leading the opening laps, it was absolutely electric. It’s a bucket-list event that exceeded all expectations. Neither Matthew nor I have ever witnessed a live sporting event with nearly half a million fans over a single weekend. The scale, the energy, the precision — it was unforgettable. And to be there supporting Louis, Callum, and Sebastian made it all the more meaningful. These are the kind of world-class moments that define what Sports.com is all about.”

The weekend also offered the opportunity to connect with rising Indy NXT star Sebastian Murray, currently backed by Sports.com and Lottery.com. Murray joined the executives for a meet-and-greet during the event, reinforcing the Company’s commitment to supporting future champions across every tier of the sport.

Throughout the event, leadership from Lottery.com and Sports.com held multiple discussions with the management teams of both Foster and Ilott to explore deeper sponsorship agreements and expanded collaboration opportunities across future race weekends and series.
