ST. LOUIS, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lottery.com Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRY, LTRYW) (“Lottery.com” or “the Company”), a leading technology company alongside its Sports.com brand, collectively transforming the intersection of gaming, sports and entertainment, announces its continued and expanded sponsorship across both the NTT IndyCar and IndyNXT by Firestone series with its partnered drivers—Callum Ilott , Louis Foster and Sebastian Murray prepare to take on the World Wide Technology Raceway (Gateway) oval this Saturday night.

This marks the first time that both Lottery.com and Sports.com branding will be featured across three race entries in a single weekend—an extraordinary show of support for young talent and a strategic moment for brand visibility on one of the season’s marquee oval events.

Louis Foster – Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (NTT IndyCar Series)
Fresh from leading laps in Detroit and surviving one of the biggest accidents of his career, Louis Foster returns to Gateway with unfinished business. The reigning IndyNXT champion, who won all three oval events in last year’s campaign in IndyNXT, brings a wealth of oval experience to the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing’s entry in IndyCar.

Following a newly extended and expanded partnership, Foster will now feature the Lottery.com logo on his crash helmet and Sports.com branding on the front wing endplates of his RLL car through the end of the 2025 season. The branding aligns the Foster partnership with the Company platforms’ long-term motorsport ambitions.

“I’m incredibly proud to be carrying the Lottery.com and Sports.com logos this weekend at Gateway. It’s a track I love, and I’m determined to repay their faith in me with a strong result,” said Foster.

Callum Ilott – PREMA Racing (NTT IndyCar Series)
British racing star Callum Ilott returns to Gateway ready to showcase the front-running pace he’s been building throughout the season with PREMA Racing. Despite a wheel incident in Detroit, Ilott has consistently demonstrated Top 10 potential and now takes on the high-speed oval with renewed determination.

Ilott continues to represent Lottery.com with high-visibility helmet branding, prominently featured across all race sessions this weekend. His professionalism and composure have made him an ideal partner for the brand’s IndyCar strategy in 2025.

“Callum brings a sharp focus and professionalism to every race weekend, and we’re proud to be aligned with him as PREMA continues its impressive debut season in IndyCar,” said Matthew McGahan, CEO of Lottery.com and Sports.com.

Sebastian Murray – No. 2 Dream Racing Dubai (IndyNXT by Firestone)
Rising Scottish talent Sebastian Murray returns to the site of IndyNXT’s unique challenge, ready to build on his career-best P6 finish in Detroit. In just his fifth race appearance in the IndyNXT series, Murray is continuing to turn heads, now sitting 11th in the overall driver standings.

Backed by Lottery.com and Sports.com, Murray will once again carry the brands across his helmet, race suit, front and rear wing endplates, and rear wing panel—a comprehensive visual partnership that continues to position him as a key ambassador for the Company’s platforms’ next-gen motorsports strategy.

“This weekend marks a major milestone for our Company and both the Lottery.com and Sports.com brands,” said McGahan, “To have all three of our partnered drivers competing at Gateway under the lights—across both IndyCar and IndyNXT—is something we’re extremely proud of. Our commitment to supporting emerging and elite talent is matched by the unprecedented visibility we’re achieving for our brands on a national stage. We believe strongly in these athletes and in the sport.”

FORT WORTH, Dallas, June 11, 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 announces its growth strategy for Nook Holdings Limited (“Nook”), the UAE-based sports and wellness incubator located at One JLT, Dubai.   The Company is expected to complete its acquisition of a ninety percent (90%) ownership stake in Nook on or before June 30, 2025.

The Company has unveiled a strategic, multi-market rollout plan for its Sports.com-branded co-working and incubation model. This forms part of the Company’s broader platform growth strategy designed to drive international brand presence, cash generation through tangible asset acquisitions. Nook will be rebranded under Sports.com upon completion of the transaction.

“This is not a one-off transaction — this is a scalable blueprint,” said Matthew McGahan, Chairman and CEO of Lottery.com and Sports.com. “For several months, we’ve been clear that Lottery.com and Sports.com are executing an aggressive buy-and-build strategy. We operate a modular model that enables us to bolt on high-potential, cash-generative businesses that expand both brands quickly and globally.”

This execution aligns with the stated intent behind Lottery.com’s $100 million financing facility with Generating Alpha. The financing facility provides the Company with growth capital to target strategic acquisitions of businesses that possess tangible assets and demonstrate strong recurring revenue potential along with support existing operations. Nook generated $354,000 in net profit in FY 2024 and is projecting a 38% increase to $490,000 in 2025.

The Company has confirmed that its second Sports.com incubator hub will be located in Al Quoz, a high-growth district near DIFC and the Burj Khalifa, within a major new leisure complex. The site is expected to open in Q4 2025 and will serve as a regional anchor for the Company’s operations in the Middle East.

• Abu Dhabi, UAE
• Greater Miami, Florida area

“This is a long-term platform play,” said Mark Bircham, Director of Lottery.com and Head of Acquisitions at Sports.com. “We’re creating a repeatable model that connects high-growth markets to a shared infrastructure. With the right businesses in place, the potential to scale across multiple verticals is enormous.”

Each Sports.com hub is designed to serve as a launchpad for sports, health, wellness, and entertainment startups. By integrating these ventures into the broader Sports.com ecosystem, the Company aims to unlock new monetization channels and deliver long-term shareholder value.
