DETROIT, May 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lottery.com Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRY, LTRYW)(“the Company” or “Lottery.com”) and Sports.com, the next-generation sports media platform, are proud to announce their continued sponsorship of three exceptionally talented drivers — Callum Ilott, Louis Foster and Sebastian Murray — as they take to the streets of Detroit this weekend in both the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and INDY NXT by Firestone.

Callum Ilott: Lottery.com Helmet Deal Extended Through 2025
Following his standout showing at the Indianapolis 500, Callum Ilott will now wear the Lottery.com logo front and center on his custom helmet for the remainder of the 2025 season. Driving car number 90 for the Prema racing team, Ilott represents Lottery.com’s lead entry in the top-tier INDYCAR SERIES.
“We’re proud to extend our relationship with Callum,” said Matthew McGahan, Chairman and CEO of Lottery.com and Sports.com. “I had the pleasure of spending time with Callum at the Indy 500 following his great drive, and I was really impressed not only by his ability to drive the wheels off a car, but also by his commercial understanding of how important partnerships like this are for the future. We look forward to working with Callum through this year and beyond.”

Louis Foster: Sports.com Partnership Continues Post-Indy 500
After finishing 12th and earning Top Rookie Honors at the Indy 500 last weekend, Louis Foster continues his strong run in the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing No. 45 car. The Sports.com branding will now appear on the chin of Foster’s car, showcasing the Company’s commitment to elite racing talent.
“Detroit’s a tricky track and there have been some eventful races there in recent years,” Foster commented. “The main goal is to qualify well and stay out of trouble to keep our momentum going.”
“It’s just, like, super bumpy,” he added. “It’s really short and narrow. For us to be on the limit and not end up in the wall, it just makes it very, very challenging. In some areas, it’s very narrow. In others, you have different tarmacs in different corners, which makes it hard to feel the grip of the car.”
“Not only did Louis deliver one of the outstanding drives of the Indy 500 weekend,” said Marc Bircham, Director of Sports.com, “but having spent time with him personally, I can say he’s got a fantastic personality — every sponsor’s dream. He has a great racing pedigree. He’s the complete package.”
Sebastian Murray: Rising Star Continues Indy NXT Journey
In the INDY NXT by Firestone championship, Sebastian Murray will once again carry Lottery.com branding on the rear spoiler and nose wing endplates of his Andretti Cape Motorsports machine. As the youngest driver in the group, Murray’s progression symbolizes the long-term vision for both Lottery.com and Sports.com in supporting emerging motorsport talent and driver development.
“Sebastian represents the future,” said Marc Bircham. “He’s calm under pressure and has the talent to rise quickly through the ranks. We’re excited to watch his journey unfold and to be a part of it.”
“Marc and I also had the pleasure of spending time with Sebastian over the Indy 500 weekend,” said Matthew McGahan, “and he’s not only a charming young man but an exceptional natural driver. There’s no doubt he’s one to watch.”
Detroit Street Circuit: The Challenge Ahead
Detroit’s circuit is one of the most demanding in motorsport, with tight corners, changing surfaces, and limited overtaking zones that test both driver skill and race strategy. This marks the fourth major event in May, closing out the busiest month of the INDYCAR calendar.
