FORT WORTH, Texas, July 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a landmark corporate transformation, Lottery.com Inc. has officially rebranded as SEGG Media Corporation (Nasdaq: SEGG, LTRYW) (the “Company” or “SEGG Media”) — Sports Entertainment Gaming Global Media — completing one of the most dynamic turnarounds in recent history. Effective immediately, SEGG Media will begin trading under its new ticker symbol: SEGG.

This milestone marks more than a name change. It signals a definitive close to legacy issues, paving the way for a new era of growth across sports, media and ethical gaming. With the support of shareholders, employees, and strategic partners, SEGG Media is now structurally and financially positioned to emerge as a modern-day global sports and entertainment conglomerate.

Strategic Architecture: One Group, Three Pillars
SEGG Media operates through three distinct yet synergistic verticals:

• Sports.com – The global home of sport: Live immersive streaming, sim racing, football, motorsports, eSports, youth driver programs and athlete-driven content. Sports.com Studios, Sports.com Media, and Nook will operate under the sports vertical;
• Entertainment – The live experience layer: AI-driven event streaming, music media, hybrid entertainment, fashion and fan engagement platforms. Upon completion of the acquisition of DotCom Ventures, Inc., Concerts.com and TicketStub.com will operate under this vertical; and 
• Lottery.com – The ethical gaming engine: International lotteries, iGaming, instant wins, sports betting and charity-aligned gaming initiatives. Domestic and global lottery operations, Tinbu, and WinTogether will operate under the gaming vertical.

Together, these pillars form a foundation designed for global expansion, fan engagement and long-term shareholder value creation.

A New Generation Sports & Entertainment Conglomerate
SEGG Media is built for the next generation — a fan-first business model designed to combine immersive media, cash-generative assets and technology-forward experiences. The Company will bring all sports under one roof, while expanding into music, lifestyle, and fashion.

With original content, influencer campaigns, and innovative storytelling documentaries and series produced by Sports.com Studios, SEGG Media aims to redefine how audiences connect with clubs, athletes, teams and leagues. This includes the acquisition and revitalization of trophy assets like football clubs and race teams, unlocking their value through smart structuring, media exposure and global fan penetration.

The Turnaround Journey
Over the last 24 months, SEGG Media has:

• Stabilized operations and balance sheet integrity
• Appointed world-class leadership and advisors
• Expanded into new verticals with asset-backed acquisitions
• Secured a $300M equity line of credit

The rebrand and restructure represent the final act of the turnaround — and the opening act of a global growth story.

Shareholder Focus & Financial Strategy
SEGG Media’s next phase is built around:

• Revenue-focused execution and brand scalability;
• Responsible use of credit and non-dilutive facilities; and
• Creating long-term shareholder value through increased market capitalization as a result of strategic acquisitions of cash-generative assets.

What’s Coming Next
Expect major updates in:

• Launch of Sports.com branded facilities in international and domestic markets;
• Global expansion in motorsports, eSports and sim racing;
• Introduction of fashion and lifestyle verticals; and
• Premium storytelling from Sports.com Studios

“This is a generational moment. SEGG Media isn’t just the end of a chapter — it’s the birth of a next-generation business,” said Matthew McGahan, Chairman of SEGG Media Corporation. “We’re ready to compete with giants, with sharper tech, a youthful fan base and ethical values at the core. To every shareholder who stood with us — thank you. The turnaround is complete. The mission begins now.”

About SEGG Media Corporation
SEGG Media (Nasdaq: SEGG, LTRYW) is a global sports, entertainment and gaming group operating digital assets such as Sports.com and Lottery.com. Focused on immersive fan engagement, ethical gaming and AI-driven live experiences, SEGG Media is redefining how global audiences interact with the content they love.

There are so many options out there for tracking your movements, whether you’re just counting steps or want a detailed analysis of your sleeping habits. The Good Housekeeping Institute did the work of finding the best fitness trackers for women, and Amazon has all our top Fitbit picks on sale during Prime Day.

GH’s Amazon Prime Day Deals Hub

From July 8-11, our best overall tracker, the Fitbit Versa 4, is 30% off — the lowest price we’ve seen this year. It’s a great option if you want tons of data to crush your workout goals. If you’re new to the world of wearables and looking for basic activity tracking, like step count, the Inspire 3 is our best value choice at just $75. Plus, Senior Reviews Writer and Analyst Olivia Lipski weighed in with thoughts on her favorite Fitbit.

Versa 4

$139.95 at amazon.com

Charge 6

$99.95 at amazon.com

Inspire 3

$74.95 at amazon.com

Sense 2

$189.95 at amazon.com

Fitbit Versa 4 — $140 (30% off)

• Our experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute chose the Fitbit Versa 4 as the best overall fitness tracker for women. This model excels with workout tracking, monitoring heart rate, and even gives you a nightly sleep score. It is also water-resistant so you don’t need to take if off while showering, and it’s enabled to work with voice assistants like Siri or Alexa for hands-free controls. Our testers noted that it’s easy to use, making it a great option for those who want as many stats as possible, but don’t want to spend hours learning how to use it.

Fitbit Charge 6 — $110 (31% off)

• “I’d choose the Charge 6 if you’re looking for an affordable, minimalist Fitbit,” says Lipski. “It offers more than 40 exercise modes (whereas the Versa 4 only offers 20) as well as heart rate tracking.” She notes that it doesn’t have some of the smartwatch features of other models, as it doesn’t support Bluetooth calls or built-in Alexa. But the battery life is unbeatable, thanks to the smaller screen. “You get at least an extra day (up to 7 days) of claimed battery life with the Charge 6. It’s small but mighty and a great choice for workout enthusiasts who don’t mind having a smaller display,” she says.

Fitbit Inspire 3 — $75 (25% off)

• The Inspire 3 is the lowest price Fitbit, and during this sale it’s only $75 (which is very close to the best deal we’ve seen this year). This Fitbit is designed for people who really just need the basics of fitness tracking, like steps, miles logged and calories burned. Our testers reported that the Inspire 3 was so lightweight during testing that they almost forgot that they were wearing it during workouts. And if you hate the sweaty feel of wearing a watch while working out, you can even get a clip for under $10 that will allow you to attach it to your clothes or sports bra.

Fitbit Sense 2 — $200 (20% off)

• I recently spent a month testing my Fitbit Sense 2 against my Apple Watch, and was honestly impressed by the accuracy of the Fitbit during my walking and hiking. I really appreciate the 6-day battery life — a huge improvement over my Apple Watch, which barely makes it through one day. I also like that it tracks my stress levels, skin temperature, sleep, and heart rate and automatically starts tracking my workouts without me having to remember to turn on the correct mode.

How to choose the best Fitbit for you:

Test engineers and product analysts at the Good Housekeeping Institute considered price, battery life, GPS, water resistance, comfort and fit, design and app features when ranking the best fitness trackers. All Fitbits were easy to set up and work with a companion app on your smartphone. They also have excellent battery life — all featured here last at least 6 days (some are more).

The Versa 4 and Sense 2 are larger “watch” styles, while the Inspire 2 and Charge 6 are more lightweight and streamlined, with the traditional Fitbit look. The watch styles have premium features like voice assistant, Bluetooth calling and a larger display that make them more expensive, but add value if it’s something you can’t live without.

There are so many options out there for tracking your movements, so no matter if you just want to see how many steps you’ve gotten in, or you want a detailed analysis of your sleeping habits, there’s a fitness tracker for you. The Good Housekeeping Institute pros did the work of finding the best fitness trackers for women, and Amazon has almost all of our top picks on sale during Prime Day. From July 8-11, our best overall tracker, the Fitbit Versa 4, is 30 percent off, and the lowest price we’ve seen this year.

While we love and use so many of the Fitbit models that are on sale, we know that there are some people out there who want even more data so they can crush their workout goals. For them, the Garmin Forerunner 255 is also 30 percent off. It’s an earlier version of our top pick for serious athletes, like those trying to break their marathon PRs. If you’re looking for a tracker that’s also a great phone substitute, the Apple Watch 10 is also at the lowest price of the year. So if you’ve been waiting to grab a fitness tracker, or need to replace yours, this is the perfect time to grab one of our recommended options.

VErsA 4 – Best Overall
Tested in the Good Housekeeping Lab, this was the favorite among our experts because it excels with tracking, monitoring heart rate, and even gives you a nightly sleep score. This is water-resistant so you don’t need to take if off while hitting the pool and it is enabled to work with voice assistants like Siri or Alexa so you don’t have to fumble with controls. Our testers love that it is really easy to understand, so this is a great option for those who are less familiar with tech devices.

Charge 6 -Best Lightweight Option
If you don’t like how big and clunky smartwatches feel, the Charge 6 has a streamlined profile. While this doesn’t have some of the bells and whistles of the Versa 4 or the Sense 2, like voice assistants and Bluetooth calls, it does get 7 days of battery life, and is a real bargain at $100. “It offers more than 40 exercise modes (whereas the Versa 4 only offers 20) as well as heart rate tracking,” says Senior Reviews Writer and Analyst Olivia Lipski. ” It’s small but mighty and a great choice for workout enthusiasts who don’t mind having a smaller display.”

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CC…

Inspire 3
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5…

Sense 2

While this didn’t quite make the cut for our list, we’d be remiss not to call out the 30 percent off pricing of this popular Fitbit model. This is the Fitbit that I’ve personally tested, and I really appreciate the six day battery life, which is a huge improvement over my Apple Watch. I also like that it tracks my stress levels as well as skin temperature, sleep, and heart rate and automatically starts tracking my workouts.

And while it didn’t make the list – this one I have personally tested and used for two months to compare it with my apple watch as far as data and tracking.

New York (CNN) — A group of leading tech companies is teaming up with two teachers’ unions to train 400,000 kindergarten through 12th grade teachers in artificial intelligence over the next five years.

The National Academy of AI Instruction, announced on Tuesday, is a $23 million initiative backed by Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, the national American Federation of Teachers and New York-based United Federation of Teachers. As part of the effort, the group says it will develop AI training curriculum for teachers that can be distributed online and at an in-person campus in New York City.

The announcement comes as schools, teachers and parents grapple with whether and how AI should be used in the classroom. Educators want to make sure students know how to use a technology that’s already transforming workplaces, while teachers can use AI to automate some tasks and spend more time engaging with students. But AI also raises ethical and practical questions, which often boil down to: If kids use AI to assist with schoolwork and teachers use AI to help with lesson planning or grading papers, where is the line between advancing student learning versus hindering it?

Some schools have prohibited the use of AI in classrooms, while others have embraced it. In New York City, the education department banned the use of ChatGPT from school devices and networks in 2023, before reversing course months later and developing an AI policy lab to explore the technology’s potential.

The new academy hopes to create a national model for how schools and teachers can integrate AI into their curriculum and teaching processes, without adding to the administrative work that so often burdens educators.

“AI holds tremendous promise but huge challenges—and it’s our job as educators to make sure AI serves our students and society, not the other way around,” AFT President Randi Weingarten said in a statement. “The academy is a place where educators and school staff will learn about AI—not just how it works, but how to use it wisely, safely and ethically.”

The program will include workshops, online courses and in-person trainings designed by AI experts and educators, and instruction will begin this fall. Microsoft is set to invest $12.5 million in the training effort over the next five years, and OpenAI will contribute $10 million — $2 million of which will be in in-kind resources such as computing access. Anthropic plans to invest $500 million in the project’s first year and may spend more over time.

The tech companies involved also stand to benefit by gaining feedback from teachers and potentially getting their AI tools in the hands of educators and students around the country. Similar educational partnerships have been a boon to tech companies in the past — Google Chromebooks, for example, are widely used in part because of their popularity in classrooms.

Chris Lehane, chief global affairs officer at OpenAI, told CNN at the program’s launch event in New York City on Tuesday that the trainings will be a mix of general information on how AI systems work and specific instruction on tools from Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic. There’s also potential for new AI products to be developed by or in partnership with the teachers.

“How can we make sure that, in the K-12 context, that we’re equipping those kids, those students, with the skills that they’re going to need to be able to succeed in what we think of as the intelligence age?” Lehane said during the event. “And you can’t do that unless it’s actually given to the teachers to do that work.”

The latest Apple Watch SE that we reviewed hits the sweet spot in terms of balancing performance with price thanks to this $80 discount. It’s marketed as the “budget-friendly” model in the Apple Watch line-up, but still boasts many of the same core features, including fall detection, irregular heart rate and rhythm notifications, and pretty much the same access to apps and connectivity features. Basically, if you can forgo an always-on display and some of the more specialized health metrics, like body temperature and ECG, then the Apple Watch SE offers the most bang for your buck, but even more so at its lowest sale price of the year.

Serious adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts can save $250 off the Apple Watch Ultra 2. This is the rugged, action-focused smartwatch in the Apple lineup, featuring a more durable titanium case, an extended 55-hour battery life (a full day longer than the Series 10), an 86-decibel emergency siren, and an impressive 40-meter depth gauge. Plus, the optional cellular connectivity means you can leave your phone at home without sacrificing peace of mind when you’re out on the trails!

Google Smartwatch Deals

If you want a sleek, classic aesthetic along with premium Fitbit fitness tracking, lifestyle, and connectivity features, then the Google Pixel Watch 3 is an obvious choice. Powered by Google’s WearOS, you can seamlessly connect your smartphone, play music, control your smart home, respond to emails and texts, use AI to answer your phone, and more. In terms of health and fitness, you’ll find everything from steps and sleep to cardio readiness and nutrition. Not to mention, it’s got a ton of advanced sensors, including ECG, multi-path optical heart-rate sensor, skin temperature, and SpO2. Per our review, it’s “one of the best Android smartwatches” and earned a rating of “Excellent.” And right now, it’s $100 less than usual!

For Android shoppers on a budget, the Google Pixel Watch 2 offers Fitbit fitness tracking technology (including skin temperature, stress sensors, and ECG) along with an extensive selection of apps and lifestyle features at a more affordable price point. Compared to many other high-end smartwatches, the Google Pixel Watch 2 boasts one of the best battery lives – it easily lasted for 33 hours during our expert testing. This is a solid, affordable choice for Android users, particularly since it’s on sale for under $130.

Fitbit Deals

Per our review, the Fitbit Charge 6 is one of the most capable and affordable fitness trackers out there, but even more so with this Prime Day discount bringing the price under $100. With 40 exercise modes, heart rate sensors, and a slim design, its primary focus is on health and fitness, but you can also access Google Maps, Google Wallet, and Youtube Music with it. Plus, use your stress management score, nightly sleep score, and on-wrist mindfulness sessions to monitor and improve your mental health. If you don’t want a bulkier, traditional watchface, this is the fitness tracker for you.

On the other hand, the Fitbit Versa 4 offers the same extensive collection of fitness and health features as the Charge 6, only in a more classic watchface design (and with a 30% discount!). Whether you use Android or iOS, this smartwatch is an excellent choice for those who prefer a more straightforward fitness tracker and don’t need all the high-tech connectivity and lifestyle features. In our testing, we loved the responsive touch screen and physical navigation button as well as the variety of watchface choices.

When it comes to a kid-friendly smartwatch, we recommend our Editor’s Choice, the Fitbit Ace. Designed for children aged 7 to 11, this smartwatch comes loaded with engaging activity-focused games, featuring friendly digital mascots to encourage young ones. In terms of safety, the parental controls are quite robust, allowing for location tracking and texting/calling trusted contacts only. Your young techie will love using it, and you’ll love the added peace of mind.
