Lottery.com Expands Racing Presence with Triple IndyCar Sponsorship at Gateway
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.”

It was Dave Shondell’s three-word reply on social media platform X that became the rallying cry for Purdue volleyball.
“We not dead,” Shondell posted on March 28, a response to an account that claimed NIL had killed the Boilermaker volleyball program.
Purdue then spent 34 matches during the 2025 season backing up their head coach’s belief.
It concluded Saturday night in Fitzgerald Field House against top-seeded and regional host Pitt 25-22, 25-21, 22-25, 25-17 in the Elite Eight, the Panthers’ fifth-straight Final Four appearance.
Before it ended, though, the Boilermakers made one thing perfectly clear: Purdue volleyball did not die.
After losing 93% of its offense from a season ago, including four potential starting players who transferred elsewhere, Purdue rebuilt its own roster through the portal and with returnees stepping into larger roles.
The Boilermakers went 27-7, reaching their first regional final since 2021.
“I will never forget this year,” said outside hitter Kenna Wollard, a first-team All-Big Ten selection and Midwest Region Player of the Year as a junior this season. “Everything we’ve gone through and everything we’ve accomplished has just been absolutely amazing.
“The girls that I played with this year were so, so special to me.”
Purdue will lose four players from its roster: Rachel Williams, Julia Kane, Lindsey Miller and Akasha Anderson, the latter two transfers who played just one season with the Boilermakers.
Shondell opened his post-match news conference following the team’s season-ending loss with a cautionary tale of current-age college athletics in its era of Name, Image and Likeness, revenue sharing and mass transfers.
“It was a meaningful season for Purdue and a meaningful season, as I told our team, for college athletics,” Shondell said. “First of all, college athletics has changed. It’s not going to go backwards … I think teams and programs and administrations just have to recognize that when people do decide to leave, you wish them well and you go find more players.
“If your program truly is a positive program that develops athletes and provides great experiences, players will come into your program and you’ll be able to continue. I think that’s what we were able to do at Purdue.”
Purdue welcomed in five new faces via the portal: Anderson (Michigan State), Miller (USC), Bianka Lulić (Miami), Dior Charles (Wake Forest) and Nataly Moravec (Iowa). Purdue tied a program record with five All-Big Ten selections, which included All-Midwest Region honorees Grace Heaney, Taylor Anderson and Ryan McAleer, all returnees.
An offseason was spent as much on relationship building as much as skill development.
Purdue’s volleyball program didn’t die. It got better.
“When I got there in the spring, it felt like people just were a little broken, emotionally and mentally, and I feel like the entire team just used the entire spring, in the summer, in the fall, to just completely love each other with open arms,” Akasha Anderson said. “I think that’s just been shown on every single game that we’ve won, every single game that we’ve lost, this team just loves each other.
“If they keep that up, that’s just going to take them so far.”

Three future Division I players are among the first and second teams
Swingers, blockers, diggers and facilitators. The Journal’s 2025 All-Metro volleyball team has it all.
The Journal’s choices include three future Division I players among the top 12 (six first-team choices, six more on the second team).
Cleveland’s Azlynn Tittmann, who has signed with Boise State, is one of this season’s three first-team hitters.
The 6-foot-1 senior registered 332 kills, an average of 4.6 kills per set.
Joining Tittmann as hitters on the first team are La Cueva junior Jula Utash and St. Pius senior Alyssa Bendinskas.
The 5-8 Bendinskas had nearly 300 kills for the Class 4A state champion Sartans, plus 49 aces and 251 digs. She is headed to Austin Peay to play beach volleyball at the next level.
Utash is the latest in a long line of dynamic hitters to put on the La Cueva colors. The junior powered her way to 370 kills last season as the Bears reached the Class 5A state championship game.
Bendinskas was not the only St. Pius Sartan to make the first team. Senior Maya Perea is generally regarded as the top libero in New Mexico, and she makes a return appearance on the Journal’s All-Metro group following a season in which she dug 331 balls.
And Utash was one of two Bears to make the first team. Her setter, freshman Charlie Ferguson, is the first-team choice this season. Ferguson did a brilliant job of feeding her hitters in the La Cueva attack, averaging over 9 assists per set. She finished with an impressive 758 assists for the season.
The first team is rounded out by Albuquerque Academy middle Kiara Brown. The sophomore was a six-rotation player for the Chargers, and finished the year with 341 kills, 223 digs and 60 blocks.
The third of the D1 signees this season is Albuquerque High hitter Kaelynn Ashley, who also is headed for Austin Peay in Tennessee, but to play on the hard courts. Her younger sister, Ayva, is the second-team setter.
Rounding out the second team are sophomore outside hitters Avery Steele from Hope Christian and Rowan Jaime from Academy, plus senior middle Aaliyah Simpson from Cleveland, and La Cueva libero Embrey Eisele, also a sophomore.

Wisconsin volleyball is playing for a berth in the Final Four of the 2025 NCAA tournament on Sunday, Dec. 14.
It would be the team’s sixth appearance in the national semifinals in Kelly Sheffield’s 13 years as head coach and fifth in the last seven years.
But standing in their way is Texas, a very formidable opponent the Badgers know well and a team they haven’t been able to solve of late.
And making the task more difficult is that they’ll be playing in enemy territory.
The third-seeded Badgers [27-4] take on No. 1 Texas [26-3] in a regional final in the Longhorns’ home gymnasium. The match is set for 6:30 p.m. and will air on ESPN.
It’s a rematch from earlier this season when Texas swept Wisconsin in Madison in the Badgers’ third match of the year on Aug. 31.
Overall, the Longhorns have defeated the Badgers in each of the last four meetings dating back to 2020. This includes a dominant sweep over Wisconsin in the 2023 national semifinal. Texas went on to win its second straight national championship that year.
Both squads, however, came up short in their bids to return to the Final Four last year with Wisconsin falling in a regional final and Texas in the regional semifinals.
One will now get back to college volleyball’s biggest stage in 2025. Wisconsin, which already exorcised some demons when it finally beat Stanford for the first time ever in the regional semifinals, enters the match playing its best volleyball of the season. It hasn’t lost since Oct. 31.
Meanwhile, the Longhorns haven’t dropped a set in the tournament and have only lost to two teams this year, both of whom are still in the NCAA tournament.
The winner gets No. 1 Kentucky in the national semifinals.
Here’s how to watch Wisconsin-Texas on TV, the NCAA volleyball bracket and schedule:
