Lottery.com and Sports.com Driver Receives Top Rookie Honors at the Indy 500
INDIANAPOLIS, May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In the running of the 109th Indianapolis 500, Louis Foster delivered a headline-grabbing performance as Top Rookie finisher, proudly representing Sports.com and Lottery.com Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRY; LTRYW) (“Lottery.com” or “the Company”) in what marked a milestone weekend for the brands’ growing presence in global motorsport.
Callum Ilott (red) and Louis Foster (black) stand next to the Borg-Warner Trophy prior to the start of the 2025 Indy 500.
Driving the #45 Desnuda Honda for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, Foster started 20th and charged into the top 10 on race day. Despite receiving two drive-through penalties for pit lane infractions, he kept his composure to bring the car home in a provisional 15th place, later elevated to P12 following post-race disqualifications of three competitors. Foster was the only rookie finisher out of four starters — a feat that underlines both his talent and maturity on the sport’s biggest stage.
“To be the top rookie in my first 500 is something I’m very proud of,” said Foster. “We had the pace to run inside the top 10, and I’m already focused on building from this heading into Detroit.”
Foster’s helmet paid tribute to key figures in his racing journey and prominently featured the Sports.com logo on the chin, signaling the brand’s deepening investment in next-generation talent.
Callum Ilott, representing PREMA Racing, delivered an equally impressive performance in the Italian team’s debut Indy 500. Running as high as fifth and ultimately finishing P12 on track, Ilott’s pace and professionalism drew strong praise. While PREMA’s #90 entry was later disqualified for a technical infringement relating to rear wing endplate height, the result did little to diminish the team’s sense of achievement in their first appearance at the Brickyard.
“It was an unforgettable experience,” said Matthew McGahan, CEO of Lottery.com and Sports.com. “I was honored to spend time with Callum, Louis, and Sebastian over the weekend — three exceptional young drivers who gave it their all. The race itself was spectacular. Having attended many Formula One events in my career, this was my first Indy 500. This event wasn’t just a race; it was a spectacle.”
“As a former professional athlete myself, this was my first time attending the Indianapolis 500 — and I can honestly say I’ve never experienced anything like it,” added Marc Bircham, Director of Sports.com. “From the roar of the crowd to the Black Hawk helicopters leading the opening laps, it was absolutely electric. It’s a bucket-list event that exceeded all expectations. Neither Matthew nor I have ever witnessed a live sporting event with nearly half a million fans over a single weekend. The scale, the energy, the precision — it was unforgettable. And to be there supporting Louis, Callum, and Sebastian made it all the more meaningful. These are the kind of world-class moments that define what Sports.com is all about.”
The weekend also offered the opportunity to connect with rising Indy NXT star Sebastian Murray, currently backed by Sports.com and Lottery.com. Murray joined the executives for a meet-and-greet during the event, reinforcing the Company’s commitment to supporting future champions across every tier of the sport.
Throughout the event, leadership from Lottery.com and Sports.com held multiple discussions with the management teams of both Foster and Ilott to explore deeper sponsorship agreements and expanded collaboration opportunities across future race weekends and series.
This announcement comes at a pivotal moment for Lottery.com, which last week recorded nearly half a billion shares traded. With momentum building, the Company continues to advance its visibility and impact across elite global sports platforms.

Lottery.com and Sports.com Showcase Multi-Series Talent in INDYCAR and INDY NXT at Gateway
MADISON, Ill., June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — It was a weekend of high drama, fast pace, and standout performances across both the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and INDY NXT by Firestone, as Sports.com and Lottery.com drivers Callum Ilott, Louis Foster and Sebastian Murray took to the high-speed oval at World Wide Technology Raceway under the lights. With brand presence across all three cars, the weekend marked another milestone for Lottery.com Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRY, LTRYW) and Sports.com, further reinforcing their commitment to elite and emerging talent across the motorsport ladder.
Callum Ilott: Commanding Drive Ends in Fuel-Heartbreak
PREMA Racing’s Callum Ilott produced a sensational performance in Gateway’s 260-lap race. Starting from P16, the British driver carved his way through the field and was leading the race in the closing laps. Unfortunately, a fuel strategy gamble came up short, and Ilott was forced to pit with just four laps remaining, finishing P18.
“Today’s result is hard to take in, especially when we were leading with just a handful of laps to go,” Ilott said. “The car felt really good all race, our pace was strong, and we made our pit stops at the right time. We’ll come back stronger at Road America.”
Ilott continues to fly the Lottery.com flag with high-visibility helmet branding, reaffirming his status as one of the most talented and composed drivers on the INDYCAR grid.
Louis Foster: Blistering Pace and Unlucky End to a Promising Run
Louis Foster, racing for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, once again showed front-running speed before a late-race incident ended his charge. The 21-year-old Brit had been running competitively inside the top 10 before catching the marbles and spinning into a high-speed crash, marking his second consecutive DNF despite showing strong form.
“I had wiggles all race, and just got too high onto the dark stuff where there’s less grip. At that point, I was a complete passenger,” Foster said. “We were really fast—it’s frustrating to end the weekend like that, but there’s a lot to take forward.”
Now fully backed through the end of the season with Sports.com on his helmet and on the front wing endplates, Foster remains central to both brands’ INDYCAR activation strategy.
“Louis continues to flash brilliance every time he’s on track,” said Matthew McGahan, Chairman and CEO of Lottery.com. “We’re proud to support him and are confident he’ll turn the corner and deliver the results his talent deserves.”
Sebastian Murray: Strong INDY NXT Oval Debut Shows Potential
In just his first-ever oval race, INDY NXT newcomer Sebastian Murray delivered a disciplined and mature drive. Starting mid-pack, Murray kept his nose clean and ultimately finished ahead of his starting position—an encouraging result as he builds experience in one of motorsport’s toughest disciplines.
“It was a really good weekend. The team did a great job and it feels good to get the first oval out of the way,” said Murray. “We made up some positions and fought our way through. If I’d gotten past a certain car earlier, I think we could’ve had a very different result.”
With full branding support from Lottery.com and Sports.com across his helmet, suit, rear wing, and endplates, Murray continues to exceed expectations.
“Sebastian kept it shiny-side-up and delivered a performance well beyond his experience level,” said McGahan. “He’s taken to oval racing naturally—like a duck to water—and we’re excited to watch his progression.”
Next Up: Road America
The Sports.com and Lottery.com drivers now head to Road America in Wisconsin. The course is a known favorite for Foster who previously won there in Indy Pro 2000 and finished second in INDY NXT.
“To have three drivers across both series carrying our brands is a special moment,” said McGahan. “This weekend showed grit, speed, and the kind of excitement that we’re proud to align with. Road America is next—and we’re ready.”
