LEXINGTON, Ohio, July 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lottery.com Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRY, LTRYW) (“Lottery.com” or “the Company”), a leading technology company transforming the intersection of gaming, sports and entertainment, today announced their drivers’ results from the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. In sweltering summer conditions, the trio of Lottery.com and Sports.com-sponsored drivers took on one of the most technical and physically demanding road courses on the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and INDY NXT by Firestone calendars. With 90 laps of elevation, strategy, and heat, the Fourth of July holiday weekend brought both breakthroughs and heartbreaks to the paddock.

Callum Ilott
Car No. 90 – PREMA Racing (INDYCAR SERIES)
Finished: P13 | Best Result of the Season | Sponsored by: Lottery.com

Callum Ilott delivered a superb recovery drive from P24 on the grid to P13, notching his best result of the 2025 season in a race that tested both patience and performance. After being forced off-track to avoid an incident at the start, the PREMA Racing driver went off-strategy, switching early to alternate red-sidewall tires under the first caution.

Ilott executed a well-managed three-stop strategy, making his final pit stop on lap 82 and pushing hard in the closing stages to gain multiple positions.

“A really strong race. We had a bit of contact at the beginning and I was just put in a bad position on the outside,” said Ilott. “We gambled and did an early stop onto the Reds. The first stint wasn’t anything special, but once we came in and got going again on the next set of Reds, it was super fast. The car was really strong. We maximised everything from P24 — great pit stops and solid strategy.”

Louis Foster
Car No. 45 – Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (INDYCAR SERIES)
Finished: P14 | Rookie of the Year Leader | Sponsored by: Sports.com

Louis Foster continued his impressive rookie season by qualifying in P6—his third Fast Six shootout appearance this year—and finishing 14th in a challenging fuel-saving race. Despite not having a fresh set of tires for his final qualifying run, Foster again proved his one-lap speed and now holds an average starting position of 12.2 across a 27-car field.

In the race, Foster was initially in contention for a top-10 before a pit stop stall cost valuable time. Nonetheless, his strong performance earned him top rookie honours on the day and moved him into the lead of the Rookie of the Year standings.

“I think I did a good job saving fuel,” Foster said after the race. “That was the first time I did a proper fuel save race so that was good experience for me. Top rookie in the race by some margin. There are worse days for sure, but it’s disappointing.”

Sebastian Murray
Car No. 2 – Andretti Global (Indy NXT)
Started: P18 | DNF (Lap 4) | Championship Standing: P10 (140 points)
Sponsored by: Sports.com

Rookie Seb Murray’s weekend ended early after making contact on Lap 4 with teammate Ricardo Escotto, causing race-ending damage. After a strong opening phase where Murray climbed from P18 to P12, the collision brought a premature end to what had been a positive start.

“A super unfortunate end to today. I’m not really sure what happened — we’ll have to watch the replays and look at the data — but I’m just glad everyone’s okay,” said Murray. “A massive thank you to the AMR Safety team. They were on the scene incredibly quickly. Obviously, apologies to the team. It was a good weekend until the incident, and we were hoping to work our way forward.”

Matthew McGahan, Chairman & CEO of Lottery.com and Sports.com, commented:

“We’re incredibly proud of how our drivers have performed this season so far. From pole positions to breakthrough race results, Louis, Callum, and Seb have truly delivered. This Fourth of July weekend, the Lottery.com and Sports.com brands were flying the flag — with strong visibility on the cars and in the paddock throughout a high-profile holiday event.

“It was also exciting to see Callum and Louis racing wheel-to-wheel for P13 and P14 — both fighting hard but keeping it clean, which speaks volumes about their professionalism and respect. Keep it shiny side up, race smart, and above all, stay safe. We’re behind you every step of the way.”

Marc Bircham, Main Board Director of Lottery.com and Sports.com, added:

“The performances so far this season have been nothing short of staggering. The entire Lottery.com and Sports.com family wishes Louis, Callum, and Seb the very best as the season heats up. Mid-Ohio was a test, and now we look forward to Iowa and beyond with pride and confidence.”

LEXINGTON, Ohio, July 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lottery.com Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRY, LTRYW) (“Lottery.com” or “the Company”), a leading technology company transforming the intersection of gaming, sports and entertainment, today announced that the Lottery.com and Sports.com-sponsored driver trio returns to action this weekend for Round Nine of the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES and INDY NXT by Firestone Championships at one of the sport’s most historic and technical venues: the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

Set in the rolling hills of Ohio, the 13-turn, 2.258-mile permanent road course is known for its flowing layout, blind corners, and punishing precision. Mid-Ohio has long been a proving ground for future champions, and with five races in July, this event marks the beginning of a pivotal stretch for both title contenders and rookies alike.

After claiming his first career pole position at Road America, Louis Foster heads into RLL’s home race at Mid-Ohio with renewed confidence and focus. The British rookie has impressed with his speed throughout the season, boasting an average starting position of 12.89 across nine races.

“I’m really proud to represent RLL at such an important race for the team,” said Foster. “I won here in Indy NXT in 2023, so it’s a track with good memories for me. There’s nowhere to hide at Mid-Ohio, especially in this level of competition. But if we keep qualifying like we have, and execute races cleanly, there’s no reason we can’t come away with a big result.”

Currently just two points off the lead in the Rookie of the Year standings, Foster sees the intense July schedule as a chance to build momentum and consistency.

Foster added, “Of course, while the qualifying results have been good, the races have been a challenge. There’s so much to get right in INDYCAR. But we’ve been working hard with the team and engineers, and now we’re into a rapid-fire run of races. It’s time to build something.”

Callum Ilott returns to Mid-Ohio looking to carry forward the gains made at Road America, where he secured his best result of the season with P15. The track is a known battleground, famous for its technical challenge, and will feature 90 laps this year—10 more than in 2024.

This marks PREMA Racing’s first visit to Mid-Ohio with the new INDYCAR hybrid power unit, placing extra emphasis on the weekend’s two practice sessions to gather crucial data.

“Mid-Ohio is a real driver’s track—lots of flow, elevation, and little room for error. The team’s still building experience with the hybrid package, so Friday and Saturday are key to getting up to speed,” said Ilott. “Last year the race could be won from anywhere, so it’s about keeping options open and nailing the strategy.”

PREMA made adjustments to its approach following winter changes to Turn Four and the Esses section, and Ilott aims to improve on his personal best result at this circuit.

“Road America showed we’re moving in the right direction. I’m excited to see what we can unlock here with the right setup and clean stints.”

Seb Murray will make his Mid-Ohio debut this weekend with Andretti Cape, coming off the back of a strong Road America performance where he surged from P14 to P11 and was named Jostens’ Biggest Mover. That race marked his best road course finish in Indy NXT so far.

The 2.258-mile circuit will provide another test for the Scottish rookie, with high-speed sections, elevation changes, tight technical corners and a narrow racing ribbon demanding full focus.

As the Indy NXT field tightens heading into a busy July calendar, Murray’s recent form positions him as one to watch in this next phase of the championship.

FORT WORTH, Texas, June 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lottery.com Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRY, LTRYW) (“Lottery.com” or “the Company”), a leading technology company transforming the intersection of gaming, sports and entertainment, today confirmed that it is nearing legal proof of a coordinated and unlawful ‘short and distort’ campaign targeting the Company. In collaboration with its legal counsel, Paul Hastings LLP, the Company is actively pursuing all individuals and entities engaged in market manipulation intended to damage the Company’s share price and reputation.

Christopher Gooding, Independent Director of Lottery.com and a member of the Audit Committee with responsibility for legal affairs, issued the following statement:

“There is no doubt that there is an orchestrated campaign against Lottery. The trading metrics and forensic data we have access to clearly indicate both classic ‘short and distort’ tactics, and more seriously, a significant volume of naked short selling — illegal trades not backed by actual share ownership.

“These actors fall into three categories:

• “Aggressive and embittered insiders, who appear to be leveraging confidential or insider information from their historical relationships with Lottery.com for self-serving purposes. I outlined elements of these insiders to the judge in a Delaware action earlier this year;
• “Professional short-sellers, aided and abetted by complicit brokers — some of whom are actively engineering mechanisms to facilitate, or are willfully ignoring, illegal naked short activity; and
• “Opportunistic traders, influenced by blogs, shorting platforms, and “pay-to-publish” media articles that amplify false and defamatory narratives. These clearly represent the ‘distort’ component of the campaign. Numerous cease-and-desist letters have already been issued.

  “Our message to these parties is unequivocal: We know who you are. We are rapidly securing irrefutable legal evidence of your involvement — including the brokers operating both in the U.S. and offshore in jurisdictions such as the Caribbean. We will pursue damages vigorously and refer the evidence to the appropriate regulatory authorities.

  “Your days are numbered. We will shut you down, and the financial penalties imposed will far exceed the unlawful profits you have sought to extract from our shareholders.”

Lottery.com reiterates its commitment to protecting shareholder value, market integrity, and the long-term growth of its global operations.
