Lottery.com Secures $50 Million Credit Facility and Successfully Restores Nasdaq Compliance
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lottery.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRY, LTRYW) (“Lottery.com” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce two significant milestones in its journey towards revenue growth and stability. The Company has successfully regained compliance with another Nasdaq listing requirement and secured a credit facility with United Capital Investments London, Ltd. (“UCIL”).
Lottery.com has reached a definitive agreement with UCIL for a credit facility that sets the foundations for a more stable financial future for the business and a platform for growth. The agreement provides the Company with an initial loan of $1 million, along with an additional credit facility of up to $49 million, enabling Lottery.com to bolster its financial position and pursue strategic opportunities.
To secure the initial loan, the Company has issued a number of warrants to UCIL, allowing the latter to purchase shares of Lottery.com’s common stock, capped at 15% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. This mutually beneficial arrangement reflects the Company’s commitment to sustainable growth and its commitment to creating value for its shareholders. Directors Barney Battles and Matthew McGahan have direct or indirect interest in UCIL. Their interest in UCIL was declared to the Company board prior to proceeding with the arrangement and they did not vote on the acceptance of the agreement.
Alongside the funding Lottery.com has improved its corporate governance and board composition with the recent appointment of Tamer Hassan and Paul Jordan to the Board of Directors as independent non-executive directors and members of the Audit Committee. These appointments address the deficiency raised by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”).
On July 26, 2023, the Company received written confirmation from Nasdaq that it has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5605(c)(2). This rule mandates that the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors consists of at least three members, each of whom is an independent director and meets the heightened independence standards set by Nasdaq’s listing rules.
Commenting on these developments, the independent non-executive directors of the Company issued the following statement:
“Reaching an agreement with UCIL and regaining compliance with another Nasdaq listing rule are strong indications that the Company is making progress on its recovery plan. The Board felt strongly that it was time to find an alternative lender to Woodford Eurasia Assets, Ltd., as the withholding of their funding was hindering many of our operational and revenue plans. With the financial backing from UCIL, we expect to quickly move forward with our operational goals and to capitalize on the promising opportunities that lie ahead.”

Sebastian Murray Makes Second INDY NXT by Firestone Start Driving No. 2 Car Sponsored by Lottery.com and Sports.com
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.”
