Lottery.com Announces Strong Third Quarter Results and Year-to-Date Revenue Increase of $42.8 Million Over Prior-Year Period
Third quarter 2021 revenue of $32.2 million and net income of $11.2 million
Strong growth in user transaction profitability
AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lottery.com Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRY, LTRYW) (“Lottery.com” or the “Company”), a leading technology company that is transforming how, where and when lottery is played, reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021. These results were achieved prior to the closing of the Company’s business combination with Trident Acquisitions Corp. on October 29, 2021. The Company’s unaudited financial statements for the third quarter of 2021 and other information have been filed in a Current Report on Form 8-K/A today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Tony DiMatteo, Lottery.com Co-Founder and CEO, commented, “We are proud of the strong revenue and profitability growth we achieved in the third quarter. While we were working toward the completion of our business combination, we acted decisively to advance our plans for our global affiliate program and monetize one of our assets by leveraging a B2B partner relationship. The start of this program provided increased revenue in the third quarter and is an essential building block of our B2B2C strategy, which we expect will lead to an increased user base and additional revenue from those end users going forward. Additionally, the implementation of a dynamic pricing model and improvements to our app, such as push notifications, contributed to strong growth in gross profit per transaction compared to the prior year period.”
Mr. DiMatteo continued, “Now that we have successfully completed our business combination, we are focused on utilizing the proceeds we realized from the transaction, along with our third quarter profits, to accelerate our targeted user marketing campaigns, enter new markets, expand our product offerings, and execute strategic and synergistic acquisitions. With our low customer acquisition costs, large addressable markets and leading brands, we look forward to realizing the profitable growth opportunities before us.”

Third quarter 2021 revenue was $32.2 million, an increase of $30.6 million from the third quarter of 2020. The growth was driven by the global affiliate marketing program.
Third quarter 2021 gross profit was $20.3 million, an increase of $19.4 million from the third quarter of 2020. The increase was driven by the global affiliate marketing program as well as improved user profitability.
Third quarter 2021 gross profit per transaction was $1.69, or a $0.76 increase from the third quarter of 2020. The increase was driven by the implementation of a dynamic pricing model and improvements made to the Company’s platform, including push notifications, which contributed to higher tickets sold per transaction and higher revenue per transaction.
Third quarter 2021 net income was $11.2 million, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2020. The improvement was driven by the increase in gross profit partially offset by expenses associated with the business combination.

On October 29, 2021, the Company successfully completed its business combination with Trident Acquisitions Corp.

FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lottery.com Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRY; LTRYW) (“Lottery.com” or the “Company”), a leading technology company in digital lottery and sports entertainment, is pleased to announce that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has declared the Company’s Form S-1 Registration Statement effective on October 16, 2024 (“Registration Statement”) (File Number: 333-281925). Following the declaration, Matthew McGahan, Lottery.com Chairman and CEO, wrote an open letter to the Company’s shareholders to address the Company’s future and address accusations made again the Company and its directors and executives.
McGahan wrote:
Dear Shareholders,
In October 2022, when I joined the Board of Lottery.com Inc. I was primarily tasked with leading a turnaround after years of mismanagement and turmoil, largely stemming from issues tied to the SPAC and business combination. At that time, the Company was on the verge of collapse, with stories of its challenges circulating widely across the internet and rampant rumors being made by detractors wishing to destabilize the business to suit their own ulterior motives. Among the many hurdles were regulatory investigations, listings issues with Nasdaq (including being delisted in May 2023 before being subsequently relisted), significant loss of staff, the breakdown of operations, and a critical shortage of working capital—each posing severe and critical threats to the Company’s future.
Within the first few weeks, it became evident that a comprehensive overhaul and restart was needed. We assembled a top-tier legal team and a new management group to draft and implement a viable and realistic turnaround strategy. The plan included developing a fresh strategic vision, regaining full compliance with Nasdaq listing and SEC reporting requirements, and it laid the foundation for the future monetization of the Company’s two key assets: Lottery.com and Sports.com.
Since then, we have restructured the entire leadership, installed a globally experienced Board with a proven track record in turnaround situations, and have introduced a new executive management team, supported by funding partners. Alongside this, we have brought in seasoned business consultants, revamped our investor relations team, and aligned with a new investment banking partner. This ambitious agenda was essential to stabilizing the Company and facilitated achieving a major milestone of submitting our Form S-1 in early September.
I would be remiss if I fail to address the unprecedented attacks the Company, its directors, and management have faced and continue to endure during the turn around. Many of the difficulties faced by our new team reflect the history of the Company which led to a complete turnover of the board and management. We have never underestimated the genuineness of some of the concerns felt by shareholders but there are also actors out there with bad or indeed, criminal intent. The visceral nature of these attacks suggests more sinister motives. These attacks have forced the Company to divert resources to supporting our top tier legal team. We have been assaulted in the Courts and in the (often pay for news) press and internet sites and we have reported to the authorities our suspicions of major stock tampering by named individuals, some of those with criminal records. We have reported these activities to the appropriate regulatory agencies and are cooperating fully with any investigations. The Board and Management have equally faced threats to their lives and welfare. We stand by the decisions we have made and will vigorously defend all attacks against the Company and against members of the Board and Management (who have proved their commitment to the Company repeatedly with little or no cash payment). That they have accepted shares in lieu of salaries is proof of their belief in the Company and their commitment to restoring shareholder value.
I am proud to announce another key step in Lottery.com’s turnaround. The SEC has released a Declaration of Effectiveness for our Form S-1 Registration Statement. This milestone marks a significant step forward, but we remain acutely aware that this is not the time to relax. We must continue to focus intensely on our strategic and operational goals, as we embark on the next phase of growth.
Almost all of the difficulties that the current management and Board of Directors of Lottery.com Inc. have faced principally reflect events that occurred prior to our current management’s and Board’s attempts to revitalize the Company. As a result, we have had to defend ourselves in the press, against various websites (that poorly or don’t verify the facts behind their allegations), and indeed, on occasion, in the courts. In fact, several of our management have had to endure at times physical threats to their wellbeing. We are sorry to say that we can only conclude that, for various reasons, our Company and our people have become the target of bad actors with totally self-serving interests.
We recognize the legitimate concern of our stakeholders who have put faith and trust into the Company, and today we remain committed to moving this Company past its prior difficulties. We will vigorously defend against any Company, management or Board attacks. In fact, today, many members of our management and Board have been willing to accept shares in lieu of cash salary as a demonstration of their belief in the Company and its future.
We are grateful to our shareholders, business partners, and investors for their steadfast support during this pivotal period. Now, we are prepared to execute on a 24-month plan—equally robust and ambitious, which will be rolled out in stages.
Our Focus for the Future
- Lottery.com Expansion
Our primary objective is to have Lottery.com fully operational in the U.S. and expand the Lottery.com brand globally. As we move into 2025, we also plan to increase our international presence, introducing a new model that intertwines sports, lottery, and sweepstakes which we believe will revolutionize lottery play worldwide. - Sports.com Evolution
Earlier this year, we launched the new Sports.com platform and subsequently completed the acquisition of S&MI Ltd, the innovative technology company behind the Sportlocker brand, which we have rebranded and relaunched as Sports.com. Within the next six months, the platform will be available in the U.S. market as well as in several European countries and the Middle East. Sports.com will focus on delivering high-quality, live sports content directly to consumers, utilizing immersive 3D technology that is unmatched in the industry. An effective Form S-1 is one key component of our partnership strategy, which, when implemented, will cement Sports.com’s position as a major player in global media and entertainment. Additionally, in 2025, Sports.com will unveil a dedicated social media platform centered around the world of sports.
Financial Outlook
We have identified new funding partners to complement our existing partner, United Capital Investments London Limited. These new partners will play a key role in supporting the Company’s focus on developing its own proprietary technology and pursuing a “buy and build” strategy which leverages our common stock as the primary component of consideration for acquisitions.
Looking forward, we are excited about the next chapter for both Lottery.com and Sports.com. With a clear roadmap, Lottery.com is entering this next phase with confidence, backed by a highly experienced leadership team and committed funding and business partners.
Closing Thoughts
As we move ahead with renewed focus and determination, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to our dedicated team, our forward-thinking Board, and our loyal shareholders for their continued support and trust. Together, we are not just building a business—we are shaping the future of digital gaming and sports media.
The transformational journey over the last two years has been nothing less than intense, but today, I am more confident than ever in the potential of Lottery.com and Sports.com to achieve greatness. I look forward to keeping you updated on our progress as we push forward into an exciting future.
Thank you for your continued commitment.
Sincerely,
Matthew McGahan
Chairman of the Board, Lottery.com

Lottery.com Inc. Outlines Future Growth Plans Following Registration Statement on Form S-1 Effectiveness
FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lottery.com Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRY; LTRYW) (“Lottery.com” or the “Company”), a leading technology company in digital lottery and sports entertainment, is pleased to announce that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has declared the Company’s Form S-1 Registration Statement effective on October 16, 2024 (“Registration Statement”) (File Number: 333-281925). The Company’s turnaround efforts which began in late 2022, were designed to address numerous operational and financial challenges, which included regulatory inquiries; regaining full compliance with Nasdaq listing and SEC reporting requirements; staff restructuring; as well as overall capital shortages. With the successful registration of the Company’s registration statement, Lottery.com is now poised to enter a new phase of strategic growth and market expansion.
The Registration Statement, while effective, allows the covered selling securityholders to publicly resell the securities covered by the Registration Statement, subject to the satisfaction by selling securityholders of certain SEC requirements in connection with any such resale. The Registration Statement also provides for an offering by the Company of up to 50 million shares of Common Stock at $3.00 per share. Copies of the prospectus that is included in the Registration Statement may be obtained from Lottery.com by email at [email protected] or by visiting https://ir.lottery.com or at the SEC’s website www.sec.gov.
Key milestones and strategic initiatives include:
1. Lottery.com Expansion:
The Company is now poised to work to operationalize its US operations across multiple states anticipated by the end of 2025. International expansion is also planned, with the intent to introduce a new gaming model in 2025 aimed at revolutionizing the global lottery market.
2. Sports.com Growth:
Earlier this year, the Company launched the new Sports.com platform in partnership with S&MI Ltd, the innovative technology company behind the Sportlocker brand, which has been rebranded as the Sports.com site and app. The Company completed its acquisition of S&MI on September 1, 2024. The platform is designed to deliver immersive live sports content enhanced by cutting-edge 3D technology, with rollouts planned in the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East by mid-2025. The Registration Statement is one key component of the Company’s partnership strategy, which, when financing through sales of stock, will help to springboard Sports.com’s position to becoming a major player in global sports media and entertainment.
Financial Outlook
Lottery.com is focused on developing proprietary technology and pursuing a “buy and build” growth strategy with its common stock as the primary consideration for acquisitions.
With a clear roadmap, Lottery.com is working to enter this next phase with confidence, backed by a highly experienced leadership team and committed funding and business partners.
Matthew McGahan, Chairman of Lottery.com, commented:
“We are extremely proud to have completed this critical phase in the Company’s journey. With the SEC’s declaration of effectiveness of our Registration Statement, we are now fully focused on our next stage of growth, which includes ambitious plans for both Lottery.com and Sports.com. Our team has worked tirelessly to rebuild the foundation, and we are confident that our future plans will create significant value for shareholders and stakeholders alike.”
