+Added: for Recommencement of Company Operations
+Added: As noted above, since the 2022

+Added: Phase 1 - Resume B2C Platform
+Added: The Company believes that it will be in a position to relaunch its B2C Platform by mid-year 2025.

+Added: This acquisition provided the Company with ownership of platform that is designed to
+Added: run in dozens of international jurisdictions.
+Added: The Company is in final phases of procuring the appropriate licensing and business services
+Added: to launch in multiple African and Asian jurisdictions.
+Added: The launch date is scheduled for Q2 2025.

+Added: providers in international jurisdictions, monetizing Sports.com, and reviving other products and services that were
+Added: under development when the Operational Cessation occurred.
+Added: As of the date of this Report,
+Added: the current estimated cash balance of the Company and subsidiaries is approximately $63,346.
+Added: The Company believes that this
+Added: cash on hand, along with future borrowings, will be sufficient for the Company to resume its core operations.
+Added: As of the date of this Report,
+Added: our common stock and warrants are traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbols “LTRY”
+Added: and “LTRYW,” respectively.

+Added: work to improve its disclosure and reporting controls.
+Added: Also, the Company plans to continue to improve its systems of internal control
+Added: over financial reporting and invest in additional legal, accounting, and financial resources.
+Added: Even if the Company’s three
+Added: phase plan to recommence its operations is successful, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to remain in compliance
+Added: with the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules.
+Added: If the Company’s securities are delisted from Nasdaq, it could be more difficult to buy
+Added: or sell the Company’s common stock and warrants or to obtain accurate quotations, and the price of the Company’s common stock
+Added: and warrants could suffer a material decline.

+Added: support such operations in the future.
+Added: The Company’s ability to continue its current operations, prepare and refile deficient and
+Added: restated reports, and restart its prior operations, is dependent upon obtaining new financing.
+Added: Future financing options available to
+Added: the Company include equity financings, debt financings or other capital sources, including collaborations with other companies or other
+Added: strategic transactions.
+Added: Equity financings may include sales of common stock.
+Added: Such financing may not be available on terms favorable to
+Added: the Company or at all.
+Added: The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or rights of the Company’s stockholders and
+Added: may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders.
+Added: There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient
+Added: funding on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition
+Added: and results of operations, and it could ultimately be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate.
+Added: These matters, when considered
+Added: in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of
+Added: time, which is defined as within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
+Added: The accompanying financial statements
+Added: do not contain any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the classification of assets or the amounts and classification
+Added: of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
+Added: Components of Our Results of Operations (Prior to the U.S.
+Added: 2022 Operational
+Added: from B2C Platform.
+Added: Our revenue is the retail value of the acquired lottery game and the convenience fee charged to the user, which
+Added: we impose on each lottery game purchased from our B2C Platform.
+Added: The amount of the convenience fee is based upon several factors, including
+Added: the retail value of the lottery game purchased by a user, the number of lottery games purchased by a user, and whether such user is located
+Added: within the U.S.
+Added: or internationally.
+Added: Currently, in the U.S, the minimum convenience fee is $0.50 for the purchase of a $1 lottery game
+Added: and $1 for the purchase of a $2 lottery game;
+Added: the convenience fee for additional lottery games purchased in the same transaction is 6%
+Added: of the face value of all lottery games purchased.
+Added: For example, the convenience fee for the purchase of five $2 tickets is $1.60, comprised
+Added: of the $1 base service fee, plus 6% of the aggregate value of the face value of all lottery games purchased.
+Added: The Company did not operate
+Added: its B2C platform in 2024.
+Added: Internationally,
+Added: B2C sales in jurisdictions where we do not have direct or indirect authority generate an immaterial amount of revenue, and we are assessing
+Added: our operations in these jurisdictions.
+Added: As discussed above, our B2C Platform is not currently operational.
+Added: We anticipate that our B2C
+Added: Platform will become operational by mid-year 2024.
+Added: Revenue from B2B API.
+Added: with our third-party commercial partner(s), we agree on the amount of the technology usage fee to be imposed on the sale of each lottery
+Added: game purchased through the B2B API, if any, together with a service fee to be charged to the user;
+Added: we receive up to 50% of the net revenues
+Added: from such technology usage fee and service fee pursuant to our commercial agreement with each commercial partner.
+Added: As discussed above,
+Added: following the 2022 Operational Cessation, our B2B API Platform resumed limited operations in April 2023.
+Added: Data Services.
+Added: acquirers of our Data Service pay a subscription for access to the Data Service and, for acquisition of certain large data sets, an additional
+Added: per record fee.
+Added: The Company additionally enters into multi-year contracts pursuant to which it sells proprietary, anonymized transaction
+Added: data pursuant to multi-year agreements and in accordance with our Terms of Service in consideration of a fee.
+Added: Our Data Services operations
+Added: were not impacted by the 2022 Operational Cessation.

+Added: Key Trends and Factors Affecting Our Results
+Added: The following describes the trends
+Added: associated with our business prior to the U.S.
+Added: Operational Cessation that have impacted, and which we expect will continue to impact,
+Added: our business and results of operations in a material way:
+Added: International
+Added: We face challenges related to expanding our footprint globally and the related process of obtaining the licenses and
+Added: regulatory approvals necessary to provide services and products within new and emerging markets.
+Added: The international jurisdictions where
+Added: we operate and seek to expand have been subject to increasing foreign currency fluctuations against the U.S.
+Added: dollar, inflationary pressures
+Added: and political and economic instability.
+Added: We expect these trends to continue during fiscal 2025 and believe they are likely to affect consumer
+Added: spending, which could have a material impact on our revenues.
+Added: As a result, it may take longer to achieve projected revenue gains or generate
+Added: cash in any such regions affected or any new foreign jurisdiction into which we expand.
+Added: of a new gaming platform .
+Added: We developed a proprietary, blockchain-enabled gaming platform, which we named Project Nexus.
+Added: Project Nexus
+Added: is designed to handle high levels of user traffic and transaction volume, while maintaining expediency, security, and reliability in
+Added: (i) the processing of lottery game sales, (ii) fulfillment of retail requirements of the B2C Platform, (iii) the administrative and back-office
+Added: functionality required by our B2B API, and (iv) the requirements of our claims and redemption process.
+Added: We expect to utilize this platform
+Added: to launch new products, including any proprietary products we may introduce.
+Added: The introduction of new technology like Project Nexus is
+Added: subject to risks including, among other things, implementation delays, issues successfully integrating the technology into our solutions,
+Added: or the possibility that the technology does not produce the expected benefits.
+Added: growth plans and the competitive landscape.
+Added: Our direct competitors operate in the global entertainment and gaming industries and,
+Added: like us, seek to expand their product and service offerings with integrated products and solutions.
+Added: Our short-to-medium term focus is
+Added: on increasing our penetration in our existing U.S.
+Added: jurisdictions by increasing direct to consumer marketing campaigns, introducing our

+Added: and select foreign jurisdictions and acquiring synergistic regulated and sports betting enterprises domestically
+Added: in the sale of online lottery games has significantly increased in recent years, is currently characterized by intense price-based competition,
+Added: and is subject to changing technology, shifting needs and frequent introductions of new games, development platforms and services.
+Added: maintain our competitive edge alongside other established industry players (many of which have more resources, or capital), we expect
+Added: to incur greater operating short-term expenses, such as increased marketing expenses, increased compliance expenses, increased personnel
+Added: and advisory expenses associated with being a public company, additional operational expenses and salaries for personnel to support expected
+Added: growth, additional expenses associated with our ability to execute on our strategic initiatives including our aim to undertake merger
+Added: and acquisition activities, as well as additional capital expenditures associated with potential further development of Project Nexus,
+Added: the initial phase of which was implemented in the second quarter of 2022.

+Added: and JuegaLotto)
+Added: As of the date of this Report,
+Added: the Company’s primary revenue drivers are the resumption of its B2B API platform, the full resumption of its sweepstakes business and the launch of Sports.com.
+Added: It is anticipated
+Added: that operational costs for the next 12 months through April 30, 2026 will be greater than revenues.
+Added: It is anticipated that the liquidity
+Added: gap will be satisfied by equity investment or debt incurred, of which there is no assurance.

+Added: and Capital Resources
+Added: Prior to the 2022 Operational
+Added: Cessation, our primary need for liquidity was to fund working capital requirements of our business, growth, capital expenditures and for
+Added: general corporate purposes.
+Added: Our primary source of liquidity had historically been funds generated by financing activities.
+Added: Upon the Closing
+Added: of the business combination on October 29, 2021, we received net proceeds of approximately $42.8 million in cash.
+Added: Following the 2022 Operational
+Added: Cessation, our primary need for liquidity has been to fund the restart of our business operations, re-hire employees and pay our expenses.
+Added: The most likely source of such future funding presently available to us is through additional borrowings under loan agreements or through
+Added: the issuance of equity or debt securities.
+Added: If lenders do not advance us amounts as agreed under loan agreements or we are otherwise not
+Added: able to secure the necessary capital to restart our operations, hire new employees, and obtain funding sufficient to support and restart
+Added: our operations, we may be forced to permanently cease our operations, sell off our assets and operations, or seek bankruptcy protection,
+Added: which could cause the value of our securities to become worthless.
+Added: conditions, along with our current lack of material revenue producing activities, and significant debt, raise substantial doubt about
+Added: our ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months.
+Added: For more information, see Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies ,
+Added: Going Concern to the consolidated financial statements included herein, as well as the risk factors included in Item 1A of this Report
+Added: entitled “ In July 2022, we furloughed the majority of our employees and suspended our lottery game sales operations after determining
+Added: that we did not have sufficient financial sources to fund our operations or pay certain existing obligations, including our payroll and
+Added: related obligations.
+Added: As a result, we may not be able to continue as a going concern ” and “ [w]e need additional capital
+Added: to, among other things, support and restart our operations, re-hire employees and pay our expenses.
+Added: Such capital may not be available
+Added: on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
+Added: If we do not receive the additional capital, we may be forced to curtail or abandon our
+Added: plans to recommence our operations and we may need to permanently cease our operations.
+Added: Debt Obligations
+Added: to the Closing, we funded our operations through the issuance of convertible promissory notes.
+Added: August to October 2017, the Company entered into seven Convertible Promissory Note Agreements with unaffiliated investors for an aggregate
+Added: amount of $821,500.
+Added: The notes bore interest at 10% per year, were unsecured, and were due and payable on June 30, 2019.
+Added: The Company and
+Added: the noteholders executed amendments in February 2021 to extend the maturity date to December 21, 2021.
+Added: November 2019 through October 28, 2021, we issued approximately $48.2 million in aggregate principal amount of Series B convertible promissory
+Added: The notes bore interest at 8% per year, were unsecured, and were due and payable on dates ranging from December 2020 to December
+Added: For those promissory notes that would have matured on or before December 31, 2020, the parties extended the maturity date to December
+Added: 21, 2021 through amendments executed in February 2021.
+Added: The amendments also allowed for automatic conversion to equity as a result of
+Added: the Business Combination.
+Added: Nearly all of the aforementioned promissory notes automatically converted into shares of Common Stock or were
+Added: terminated pursuant to their terms, as applicable, in connection with the Closing.
+Added: Those that remain outstanding do not have conversion
+Added: terms that were triggered by the Closing.
+Added: prior to the Closing, approximately $60.0 million of convertible debt was converted into equity of AutoLotto.
+Added: As of December 31, 2024, we had
+Added: $2,088,135 of convertible debt outstanding.
+Added: A portion of this debt has matured and is theoretically in default.
+Added: “- Recent Developments- Loan Agreement with Woodford ” and “Loan Agreement with United Capital Investments
+Added: London Limited” above for additional information.
+Added: Net cash used by operating activities
+Added: was $1.52 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to net cash used by operating activities of $2.1 million for the year
+Added: ended December 31, 2023.
+Added: Factors affecting changes in operating cash flows were stock-based compensation expense along with decreased
+Added: expenses for personnel costs, and sales and marketing activities in 2024 as compared to 2023.
+Added: Net cash used in investing activities during
+Added: the year ended December 31, 2024 was $1.5 million, compared to $0 for the prior year.

+Added: million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $2.27 million used by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023.
+Added: The increase was due to funding received under convertible debt arrangements in 2024.
+Added: in or Adoption of Accounting Practices
+Added: following U.S.
+Added: GAAP standards have been recently issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”).
+Added: in the process of assessing the impact of these new standards on future consolidated financial statements.
+Added: Pronouncements that are not
+Added: applicable or where it has been determined do not have a significant impact on the Company have been excluded herein.
+Added: 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
+Added: May 2014 and December 2016, the FASB issued several Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”)’s on ASC 606, which updates
+Added: superseded nearly all previous revenue recognition guidance under U.S.
+Added: The core principle is to recognize revenues when promised
+Added: goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled
+Added: for those goods or services.
+Added: A five-step process has been defined to achieve this core principle, and, in doing so, more judgment and
+Added: estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S.
+Added: The standards are effective
+Added: for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 using either of the following transition methods:
+Added: (i) a full retrospective approach
+Added: reflecting the application of the standards in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients;
+Added: (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting the standards recognized at the date of adoption (which
+Added: includes additional footnote disclosures).
+Added: The Company adopted these standards effective on January 1, 2018, and management concluded
+Added: the adoption of this standard did not result in any financial statement impacts or changes to revenue recognition policies or processes
+Added: as revenue is primarily derived from arrangements in which the transfer of control coincides with the fulfillment of performance obligations.
+Added: Accounting Policies
+Added: financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S.
+Added: Certain of our accounting policies require that management apply significant
+Added: judgments and estimates in defining the appropriate assumptions integral to financial estimates.
+Added: Judgments are based on historical experience
+Added: and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, such as terms of contracts, industry trends and information
+Added: available from outside sources, as appropriate.
+Added: However, by their nature, judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty,
+Added: and therefore actual results could differ from our estimates.
+Added: We have applied significant estimates and assumptions related to the following:
+Added: and Cost Recognition
+Added: May of 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09,
+Added: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”), amending revenue recognition guidance and requiring a more
+Added: structured approach to measuring and recognizing revenue as well as provide more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements
+Added: to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
+Added: guidance is effective for accounting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2018.
+Added: have applied ASC 606 to all revenue contracts.
+Added: The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer
+Added: of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in
+Added: exchange for those goods or services.
+Added: Revenues are generally recognized upon the transfer of control of promised products provided to
+Added: our users, customers and subscribers, reflecting the amount of consideration we expect to receive for those products.
+Added: We enter into contracts
+Added: that can include various products, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.
+Added: Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from users, commercial partners and subscribers, which are subsequently remitted to
+Added: governmental authorities.
+Added: The revenue recognition policy is consistent for sales generated directly with users and sales generated indirectly
+Added: through affiliates, other solution partners, and our commercial partners.
+Added: are recognized upon the application of the following steps:
+Added: Identification of a contract or contracts with a user,
+Added: customer or subscriber;
+Added: Identification of performance obligation(s) in the
+Added: Determination of the transaction price;
+Added: Allocation of the transaction price to the performance
+Added: obligations in the contract;
+Added: Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance
+Added: obligation is satisfied.
+Added: with users and customers for lottery game sales are at the point of sale and may include transfer of multiple products to a user or a
+Added: customer and generally do not require future obligations.
+Added: In these situations, the Company generally considers each transferred product
+Added: as a separate performance obligation.
+Added: The Company also has contracts with subscribers for the continued delivery of lottery and anonymized
+Added: transaction data over a defined period of time.
+Added: In accounting for these contracts, the Company generally considers each set of data as
+Added: a separate performance obligation and recognizes revenue on their delivery ratably over the service period of the agreement.
+Added: The Company’s
+Added: products are sold without a right of return or refund;
+Added: the Company’s terms of service and contracts generally include specific
+Added: language that disclaims any warranties.
+Added: both financial accounting and tax reporting purposes, the Company reports income and expenses based on the accrual method of accounting.
+Added: federal and state income tax purposes, the Company reports income or loss from their investments in limited liability companies on the
+Added: consolidated income tax returns.
+Added: As such, all taxable income and available tax credits are passed from the limited liability companies
+Added: to the individual members.
+Added: It is the responsibility of the individual members to report the taxable income and tax credits, and to pay
+Added: any resulting income taxes.
+Added: Therefore, in relation to the income and losses incurred by the limited liability companies, they have been
+Added: consolidated in the Company’s tax return and provision based upon its relative ownership.
+Added: taxes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 740, “ Income Taxes ” (“ASC 740”), using the asset and liability
+Added: Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
+Added: temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
+Added: Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
+Added: these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
+Added: The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
+Added: tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
+Added: A valuation allowance is provided for those deferred
+Added: tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related benefit will not be realized.
+Added: Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (i) the Company determines
+Added: whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position;
+Added: (ii) for those tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax
+Added: benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
+Added: The Company’s
+Added: policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of income tax expense or benefit.
+Added: To date, there have been no interest or penalties charged in relation to the unrecognized tax benefits.
+Added: the taxing authorities can audit the previous three years of tax returns and in certain situations audit additional years.
+Added: tax purposes, the Company’s 2020 through 2023 tax years generally remain open for examination by the tax authorities under the
+Added: normal three-year statute of limitations.
+Added: For state tax purposes, the Company’s 2019 through 2023 tax years remain open for examination
+Added: by the tax authorities under the normal four-year statute of limitations.
+Added: a business combination, substantially all identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired are recorded at the date
+Added: of acquisition at their respective fair values.
+Added: One of the most significant areas of judgment and estimation relates to the determination
+Added: of the fair value of these assets and liabilities, including the fair value of contingent consideration, if applicable.
+Added: If any intangible
+Added: assets are identified, depending on the type of intangible asset and the complexity of determining its fair value, an independent external
+Added: valuation expert may develop the fair value, using appropriate valuation techniques, which are generally based on a forecast of the total
+Added: expected future net cash flows.
+Added: These valuations are linked closely to the assumptions made by our management regarding the future performance

+Added: Judgment includes, but is not limited to, consideration of model inputs such as volatility, estimated life and discount
+Added: value of stock options and warrants
+Added: use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock options and warrants.
+Added: Use of this method requires management
+Added: to make assumptions and estimates about the expected life of options and warrants, anticipated forfeitures, the risk-free rate, and the

+Added: and intangible assets
+Added: and indefinite life intangible asset impairment testing require us to make estimates in the impairment testing model.
+Added: On an annual basis,
+Added: we test whether goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are impaired.
+Added: Impairment is influenced by judgment in defining a cash-generating
+Added: unit (“CGU”) and determining the indicators of impairment, and estimates used to measure impairment losses.
+Added: The recoverable
+Added: amount is the greater of value in use and fair value less costs to sell.
+Added: The recoverable value of goodwill, indefinite and definite long-lived
+Added: assets is determined using discounted future cash flow models, which incorporate assumptions regarding projected future cash flows and
+Added: capital investment, growth rates and discount rates.
+Added: Tax Asset and Valuation Allowance
+Added: for deferred tax assets, including those arising from tax loss carry-forwards, requires management to assess the likelihood that we will
+Added: generate sufficient taxable earnings in future periods in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets.
+Added: Assumptions about the generation
+Added: of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows.
+Added: In addition, future changes in tax laws could
+Added: limit our ability to obtain tax deductions in future periods.

+Added: of this extended transition period.
+Added: We expect to remain an emerging growth company through the end of the 2024 fiscal year and we expect
+Added: to continue to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period.
+Added: This may make it difficult or impossible to compare
+Added: the financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging
