(Nasdaq: LTRY, LTRYW), a leading provider of digital lottery, sweepstakes, and sports entertainment technology, today announced that it is planning its first shareholder webinar in more than three years to be held in the coming weeks as part of its continued commitment to transparency, engagement and building trust. Chairman and CEO Matthew McGahan will also be issuing a formal communication to shareholders providing insight into the Company’s strategic progress and vision for growth.

These initiatives come as the Company nears the successful conclusion of a two-year corporate turnaround, which has positioned Lottery.com for long-term operational strength, strategic expansion, and shareholder value creation.

Matthew McGahan, Chairman and CEO of Lottery.com, commented:
“As we approach the final phase of this disciplined turnaround, now is the right time to directly engage with our shareholders, share our roadmap, and outline the exciting opportunities ahead. This journey has always been about rebuilding with integrity and ambition—and we’re ready to deliver.”

A Comprehensive Turnaround from the Top Down:

• Board and Governance: Complete overhaul of the Board of Directors, installing experienced leadership committed to transparency and growth. Additionally, the Company formed a strategic Advisory Board in February 2025, comprising industry leaders and experts guiding international expansion, responsible gaming, and technological innovation.

• Capital Markets and Strategic Funding: Appointment of Cohen & Company Capital Markets as investment banker, alongside securing $100 million from Generating Alpha Ltd. and $150 million from United Capital Investments London (UCIL). These facilities are being deployed strategically to drive shareholder value through cash-generative acquisitions; cutting-edge technology development and investment; resumption and expansion of gaming operations that drives revenues; and building balance sheet strength.

Strategic Use of Funding for Growth:
The Company emphasizes that capital secured through its funding facilities, including the recently filed S-1, will be strategically deployed to:

• Build or acquire state-of-the-art technology for Lottery.com and Sports.com, enabling immersive, live-streaming sports media and enhanced fan engagement.
• Close advanced stage, revenue generative acquisitions, designed to accelerate profits and deliver shareholder value.
• Strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and fund innovation across its digital lottery and sports entertainment platforms.

$100 Million Committed Stock Purchase Agreement to Fuel Strategic Turnaround and Expansion

FORT WORTH, Texas, April 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lottery.com Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRY), a leading technology company a leading technology company in digital lottery, charitable sweepstakes and sports entertainment, today announced the filing of an amended registration statement on Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The filing is related to the registration of shares issuable under a $100 million committed stock purchase agreement (“SPA”) with Generating Alpha Ltd., along with audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Under the SPA with Generating Alpha, signed in November 2024, Lottery.com has the right—but not the obligation—to draw down up to $100 million in capital through the sale of common stock. This committed funding provides the Company with strategic flexibility to support its operational relaunch, revenue growth, and rapid expansion into the digital entertainment media sector.

Strategic Highlights from the S-1 Filing:

• Operational Relaunch: Lottery.com is preparing to resume its core domestic lottery operations, has restarted sweepstakes, and initiated international lottery revenue programs to support its existing business in Mexico and expand to Africa, Asia, and Europe.
• Growth in Digital Sports and Entertainment Media: Through its Sports.com platform, the Company is targeting the rapidly growing $2.4 trillion global streaming and sports content market, with plans for original content production and immersive fan engagement.
• Flexible Capital Access: The $100 million SPA with Generating Alpha allow the Company to control its capital deployment, enabling it to scale without immediate dilution pressures.
• Premium Digital Assets: Lottery.com and Sports.com represent high-value domain IP. The strength of those brand names is key to the Company’s brand positioning and competitive advantage in the digital entertainment landscape.
• NASDAQ and SEC Compliance: The Company remains in full compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements and SEC regulations, reinforcing its stability as it repositions for growth.

Matthew McGahan, Chairman and CEO of Lottery.com, commented:
“With the flexibility of our $100 million committed capital facility and a clear roadmap for operational resurgence, revenue growth, and digital media expansion, Lottery.com is poised to capitalize on emerging opportunities in both the lottery and sports entertainment sectors. Access to this type of funding will allow us to progress to our aggressive buy-and-build strategy and complete our pipeline of strategic acquisitions across Lottery.com and Sports.com in the immediate future. Our re-entry into the market is backed by strategic vision, high-value digital assets and the financial agility to scale—creating far stronger shareholder value.”

A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
