AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lottery.com Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRY, LTRYW) (“Lottery.com” or the “Company”), a leading technology company revolutionizing the lottery experience, today announces a substantial expansion in its fundraising efforts.
The Company has amended its placement agent agreement with Univest Securities, LLC (“Univest”), significantly increasing the commitment from new and existing investors. This move underscores the confidence in Lottery.com's vision and operational strategy, setting a solid foundation for the Company's growth and expansion.
Under the revised terms of the agreement, the offering amount has been increased from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 due to strong investor interest.

"We are thrilled with the overwhelming support from our investors, which reflects their confidence in our strategy and our team's ability to execute it.
