INDIANAPOLIS, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sports.com, a member of the Lottery.com Inc. family of brands (Nasdaq LTRY;LTRYW) ("Lottery.com"'or "the Company"), the fast-growing platform at the intersection of sports, media and technology, proudly announces a high-visibility partnership with Louis Foster, one of the brightest young drivers in motorsport, ahead of his debut in the 2025 Indy 500.

Louis Foster qualified 20th for this year's Indy 500 and will start from Row 7, driving the No. 45 car for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing.

To partner with a driver of Louis Foster's caliber at such an iconic event reinforces our mission to deliver high-impact exposure, enhance international brand recognition, and drive long-term shareholder value," said Marc Bircham, Director at Sports.com.

The Indy 500 is arguably the most prestigious and iconic race in the world — it's an event every driver dreams of competing in," said Matthew McGahan, Chairman and CEO of Lottery.com and Sports.com. "We are proud to support Louis Foster in his first Indy 500 and thrilled to have this opportunity to showcase the Sports.com brand on such a historic stage. This partnership reflects both my personal passion for racing and our wider strategy of aligning Sports.com with world-class talent in high-exposure environments."
