Lottery.com and Sports.com Showcase Multi-Series Talent in INDYCAR and INDY NXT at Gateway
MADISON, Ill., June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — It was a weekend of high drama, fast pace, and standout performances across both the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and INDY NXT by Firestone, as Sports.com and Lottery.com drivers Callum Ilott, Louis Foster and Sebastian Murray took to the high-speed oval at World Wide Technology Raceway under the lights. With brand presence across all three cars, the weekend marked another milestone for Lottery.com Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRY, LTRYW) and Sports.com, further reinforcing their commitment to elite and emerging talent across the motorsport ladder.
Callum Ilott: Commanding Drive Ends in Fuel-Heartbreak
PREMA Racing's Callum Ilott produced a sensational performance in Gateway's 260-lap race. Starting from P16, the British driver carved his way through the field and was leading the race in the closing laps. Unfortunately, a fuel strategy gamble came up short, and Ilott was forced to pit with just four laps remaining, finishing P18.
'Today's result is hard to take in, especially when we were leading with just a handful of laps to go,' Ilott said . 'The car felt really good all race, our pace was strong, and we made our pit stops at the right time. We'll come back stronger at Road America.'
Ilott continues to fly the Lottery.com flag with high-visibility helmet branding, reaffirming his status as one of the most talented and composed drivers on the INDYCAR grid.
Louis Foster: Blistering Pace and Unlucky End to a Promising Run
Louis Foster, racing for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, once again showed front-running speed before a late-race incident ended his charge. The 21-year-old Brit had been running competitively inside the top 10 before catching the marbles and spinning into a high-speed crash, marking his second consecutive DNF despite showing strong form.
'I had wiggles all race, and just got too high onto the dark stuff where there's less grip. At that point, I was a complete passenger , ' Foster said . 'We were really fast—it's frustrating to end the weekend like that, but there's a lot to take forward.'
Now fully backed through the end of the season with Sports.com on his helmet and on the front wing endplates, Foster remains central to both brands' INDYCAR activation strategy.
'Louis continues to flash brilliance every time he's on track,' said Matthew McGahan, Chairman and CEO of Lottery.com. 'We're proud to support him and are confident he'll turn the corner and deliver the results his talent deserves.'
Sebastian Murray: Strong INDY NXT Oval Debut Shows Potential
In just his first-ever oval race, INDY NXT newcomer Sebastian Murray delivered a disciplined and mature drive. Starting mid-pack, Murray kept his nose clean and ultimately finished ahead of his starting position—an encouraging result as he builds experience in one of motorsport's toughest disciplines.
'It was a really good weekend. The team did a great job and it feels good to get the first oval out of the way,' said Murray . 'We made up some positions and fought our way through. If I'd gotten past a certain car earlier, I think we could've had a very different result.'
With full branding support from Lottery.com and Sports.com across his helmet, suit, rear wing, and endplates, Murray continues to exceed expectations.
'Sebastian kept it shiny-side-up and delivered a performance well beyond his experience level,' said McGahan . 'He's taken to oval racing naturally—like a duck to water—and we're excited to watch his progression.'
Next Up: Road America
The Sports.com and Lottery.com drivers now head to Road America in Wisconsin. The course is a known favorite for Foster who previously won there in Indy Pro 2000 and finished second in INDY NXT.
'To have three drivers across both series carrying our brands is a special moment,' said McGahan . 'This weekend showed grit, speed, and the kind of excitement that we're proud to align with. Road America is next—and we're ready.'

Nasdaq-traded Zoomcar discloses data breach affecting 8.4M users in India
June 16 (UPI) -- Zoomcar, a car-sharing business, has revealed that a hacker accessed the personal data of at least 8.4 million customers in India, according to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC was notified of the data breach because it became a public company in Delaware in late 2023 after a merger with an American blank-check firm IOAC. Its shares are traded on the Nasdaq exchange and the price declined 12.3% Monday. Founded in 2013 by two American men, Zoomcar allows customers to rent cars on a monthly, weekly, daily and hourly basis in 99 cities in India. There are more than 25,000 cars and 10 million users, according to its investor website. The data was accessed on June 9, according to the filing on Friday. Zoomcar, which is based in Bangalore, said it became aware of the incident after some employees received external communications from a threat actor alleging unauthorized access to company data. The company then activated its incident response plan. After a preliminary investigation, the company determined that an unauthorized third party accessed a limited dataset containing certain personal information of a subset of approximately 8.4 million users. It included names, phone numbers, car registration numbers, personal addresses and email addresses associated with such users. The company said there is no evidence that financial information, plaintext passwords or other sensitive identifiers were compromised. Zoomcar said it has implemented additional safeguards across the cloud and internal network. This includes increasing system monitoring and reviewing access controls, according to the SEC filing. Also, the company is working with third-party cybersecurity experts to further assist with the investigation. "The company has also notified the appropriate regulatory and law enforcement authorities and is cooperating fully with their inquiries," the SEC said. In February, Zoomcar reported a 19% increase in car rentals in one year to 103,599 bookings. The company had a net loss of $7.9 million. "To date, the incident has not resulted in any material disruption to the company's operations," the company told Tech Crunch. In 2018, Zoomcar had a data breach that exposed records of more than 3.5 million customers. That data was eventually offered for sale on an underground marketplace in 2020, Bleeping Computer reported. In the United States, car-sharing businesses are Zipcar, a subsidiary of Avis Budget Group, and Enterprise CarShare, which is part of Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

Trump, Starmer say U.S.-UK trade deal finalized
President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday said they had finalized a trade deal reached between the two allies last month. Trump, standing alongside Starmer at the Group of Seven summit in Canada, said the relationship with Britain was "just fantastic," as he waved, and briefly dropped, a document which he said he had just signed. "We signed it and it's done," he said. Starmer said the proclamation would implement agreements reached on auto tariffs and aerospace, without providing any details.
