FORT WORTH, Texas, May 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lottery.com Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRY, LTRYW) (“Lottery.com” or the “Company”), a leading technology company in digital lottery, sports and entertainment, announces that its registration statement on Form S-1 has been declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as of May 14, 2025. This milestone unlocks access to a previously announced $100 million financing facility (“Financing Facility”) with Generating Alpha Ltd., providing the Company with financial flexibility to execute its aggressive acquisition and growth strategy.
This announcement follows a week of extraordinary market performance, with over 275 million shares traded and the stock surging from $0.70 to a high of $2.64. The effectiveness of the S-1 marks the official close of a two-year corporate turnaround. Under new leadership, Lottery.com has rebuilt its foundation: restructuring the Board and executive team, remediating legacy compliance issues, and implementing two clear innovative business models for Lottery.com and Sports.com.
“The turnaround is now complete. We are structurally sound, operationally ready, and strategically funded to drive aggressive growth,” said Matthew McGahan, CEO and Chairman of Lottery.com. “We’ve stabilized the Company from its foundation, secured the capital need and are moving rapidly towards driving revenue and acquiring assets that strengthen our brand ecosystem and deliver profits for the Company and its shareholders.”
The Company’s focus now turns to strategic execution—transforming capital into revenue generation and high-value assets to deliver shareholder value.
While the Financing Facility provides capital through the issuance of common stock, the Company intends to deploy proceeds not for general dilution but to accelerate revenue growth and acquire accretive assets across gaming, content, media and live events—many of which are already in late-stage negotiations. Access to immediate funding allows Lottery.com to drive revenue and complete its target acquisitions, including but not limited to DotCom Ventures Inc., owner of Concerts.com and TicketStub.com, and Nook Holdings Limited (Dubai, UAE) to further develop the Sports.com brand in the Middle East. The buy-and-build acquisition strategy is designed to:
- Drive near-term revenue and sustainable long-term profitability
- Expand global brand awareness
- Enhance shareholder value
- Maximize synergies between Lottery.com and Sports.com
McGahan added: “The S-1 going effective is transformative for Lottery.com and its shareholders. We are not just raising capital—we are deploying it against cash-generative acquisitions that enhance our balance sheet, income statement and the valuation of our brands. This is a disciplined growth phase.”
The Company’s five-year vision includes expanding Lottery.com International, launching new sweepstakes products (domestically and abroad), deepening its affiliate program and building out a robust content and IP ecosystem under Sports.com Studios—all underpinned by the funding now available through the activated Generating Alpha Financing Facility, along with continued funding from United Capital Investments Ltd.
