Lottery.com Expands Its Global Footprint in Live Entertainment with $10M Acquisition of Concerts.com and TicketStub.com
'While Concerts.com and Sports.com are hallmark media brands, we intend to make TicketStub.com the trusted ticketing site for fans of all live entertainment. Concerts.com is the perfect third vertical for our business. It will become the ticketing engine for Sports.com — giving us a unified commerce and content strategy around everything from sports to festivals to immersive experiences.'
This strategic investment will form the third foundational pillar of Lottery.com's expanding platform — standing alongside Sports.com and Lottery.com as part of a vertically integrated, multi-channel entertainment business. Together, these brands will create the concrete base of a next-generation ecosystem designed to unify content, commerce, and live experiences under a single global strategy. Concerts.com and TicketStub.com are live, operational, and built for scale — delivering real value and revenue potential from day one. The platforms feature:
FORT WORTH, Texas, May 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lottery.com Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRY, LTRYW), a leading technology company transforming the intersection of gaming, sports, and entertainment, today announced that it has signed a Letter of Intent ('LOI') to acquire a majority stake in DotCom Ventures Inc., a Nevada corporation ('DVI'), together with the premium domain assets Concerts.com and TicketStub.com, in a transaction valued at $10 million.
Story Continues
'Deals like this, which include stock at $3 per share, reinforce the belief in the value we're building with Lottery.com, Sports.com and now, Concerts.com,' McGahan added. 'This isn't just an acquisition; it's a commitment to a five-year vision, and a statement to the market that we are serious about scaling globally with premium digital assets.'
A Long-Term Partnership with a Shared Vision
'Our vision of providing fans with the information and access they need to discover the live events they want can now be realized on a global scale through Concerts.com and Sports.com,' said Patrick Ogle, CEO and founder of DVI. 'DVI looked at several other partners over the last year. Ultimately, we knew that these assets belong together, and fans deserve reliable access to a live entertainment platform they can trust. With the backing of Lottery.com and the infrastructure behind Sports.com, we're building more than a platform — we're creating a new standard for how fans connect to live experiences.'
Ogle is an entrepreneurial lawyer and digital strategist with more than two decades of experience spanning media, entertainment, and athlete representation. From his early days as an intern at Jerry Bruckheimer Films and Television and Network Music Group, to 20+ years managing the business and legal affairs of athletes and entertainers, Ogle has built a career at the intersection of entertainment and infrastructure. He is a former 15-year member of The Recording Academy, and an active voting member of the Country Music Association.
'Patrick brings more than just the domain — he brings a deep understanding of what this vision can become,' said Gregory Potts, Chief Operating Officer of Lottery.com. 'Entering into this LOI is a clear vote of confidence — not just in the value of the brands, but in our collective ability to execute together over the next five years. This is an exciting culmination of a relationship that began in 2023, appropriately, at the Pilgrimage Music Festival in Franklin, TN.'
The final transaction will include the assumption of secured notes and a multi-stage stock issuance structure, reflecting alignment and long-term commitment from all parties.
Powering the Future of Live Entertainment
Concerts.com is being designed not simply as a ticketing platform, but as a fully integrated live events engine. It will serve as the primary processor of access and fan engagement, tying directly into Sports.com's fast-growing live streaming infrastructure.
The investment in DVI will include TicketStub.com, which will operate in parallel as a brand focused on alternative entertainment verticals, including festivals, comedy, esports, and niche lifestyle events. This dual-brand strategy allows for both mainstream and genre-specific ticketing models under the broader Concerts.com umbrella.
As part of the short and mid-term roadmap:
The brand will integrate with live streaming functionality and real-time access models across all Lottery.com and Sports.com verticals
Sports.com's ambassador network will amplify events across social platforms
Concerts.com will power bundled experiences combining tickets + content + streaming
Deliver to consumers crossover activations between sports, music, charitable gaming and culture
Sports.com Studios will create proprietary content for Concerts.com
Domain Portfolio Strength
With the addition of Concerts.com and TicketStub.com, Lottery.com will hold what it believes to be one of the strongest domain portfolios in the world. With Lottery.com, Sports.com, and now Concerts.com, the company stands alone in its control of three world-class, category-defining digital assets.
'Very few — if any — companies can claim three domains of this caliber,' said McGahan. 'And we believe the combination of Lottery.com, Sports.com, and Concerts.com is without peer in the global digital entertainment space. These assets will anchor the next decade of innovation across content, commerce, and live experiences.'
McGahan went on to say that with the addition of these assets, he believes Lottery.com is arguably one of the most exciting investment opportunities on the exchange today.
'This is a unique opportunity to invest in a company with premium global assets and a bold vision for the future of entertainment, gaming and live events.'

Prediction: This Supercharged Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock Will Be Worth More Than Apple and Microsoft Combined by 2030
Key Points Nvidia's GPUs are powering artificial intelligence (AI) workloads in data centers around the globe. Many AI hyperscalers are already increasing capital expenditure guidance for 2026. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) are the second- and third-largest companies on the market right now, with valuations of $3.9 trillion and $3.4 trillion, respectively. That means a company would need to be worth $7.3 trillion by 2030 to be worth more than the combined value of these two companies right now. There are only a handful of potential companies that could do that, with the chief suspect being Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), currently the world's largest company. I think that a $7.3 trillion market cap is achievable for Nvidia by 2030. Here's how it will achieve it. The AI hyperscalers are increasing their guidance for 2026 expenses Nvidia is thriving in the world of artificial intelligence (AI). Its graphics processing units (GPUs) have become the computing hardware of choice for many AI hyperscalers due to their strong ecosystem and fantastic computing power. GPUs can process multiple calculations in parallel, making them suited for any workload that needs a lot of processing power. Historically, GPUs were used for gaming graphics, engineering simulations, and cryptocurrency mining, but their biggest use case by far is AI. As a bullish sign for Nvidia, the AI hyperscalers aren't slowing down their spending. During its Q2 conference call, Alphabet told investors it is raising its 2025 capital expenditure projection from $75 billion to $85 billion, and also commented that 2026 will see a further increase in capital expenditures. Meta Platforms commented that it will see "significant capital expenditures dollar growth in 2026" for building out its computing capacity to meet demand. Nvidia will be a huge beneficiary from these hyperscalers' increasing demand, but Nvidia doesn't expect it to stop in 2026. A third-party projection cited by Nvidia during its 2025 GTC event stated that global data center capital expenditures in 2024 were around $400 billion. That number is expected to increase to $1 trillion by 2028. That's huge growth, but will it be enough to propel Nvidia past the $7.3 trillion mark by 2030? Nvidia will rapidly grow over the next few years If global data center capital expenditures increase at that rate, it would have a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 26%. Because Nvidia's business is heavily tied to the data center industry, we'll use that as its base growth rate figure. Over the past 12 months, Nvidia has generated $149 billion in revenue, with a mid-50% profit margin (it dipped a bit during its last quarter due to an inventory write-down it had to take on H20 chips that were meant for China but could no longer be sold at that time due to export restrictions). Should Nvidia achieve that CAGR over the next three and a half years, Nvidia's revenue and profits would be $335 billion and $184 billion, respectively. If we give it a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of 40 (it's currently 42), that would give Nvidia a market cap of $7.36 trillion by 2028. The original projection was for Nvidia to reach a market cap of $7.3 trillion by 2030, and this projection exceeded that level by 2028. That leaves plenty of room for Nvidia to underperform this guidance and still achieve this lofty goal. Nvidia is expected to remain dominant for some time, and with all the massive data center capital expenditures ongoing, Nvidia's stock will be a must-own for investors.

Why Navitas Semiconductor Stock Was Sinking This Week
Key Points An analyst dealt quite the blow to the chipmaker, in the form of a recommendation downgrade. These days, he's rating it hold rather than a buy. 10 stocks we like better than Navitas Semiconductor › Specialty chipmaker Navitas Semiconductor (NASDAQ: NVTS) was looking anything but special over the past few trading days. The company was the subject of a recommendation downgrade, which pushed the stock well down in price and kept it there. As of Thursday evening, Navitas's shares were down by over 10% week to date, according to data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Cut down to size Although the downgrading party wasn't a large, famous financial institution, the move nevertheless impacted Navitas stock, and not in a pleasant way. It was made on Wednesday by CJS Securities's Jonathan Tanwanteng, who reset his recommendation on the stock to market perform -- hold, in other words -- from his previous ranking of market outperform (buy). He did not set a price target. Tanwanteng's reasoning behind the downgrade wasn't immediately apparent, but it was likely influenced by the dispiriting second-quarter results Navitas announced near the start of August. For the period, management reported that the company suffered a year-over-year revenue decline of nearly 30%. In what was hardly more encouraging news, the company's $0.25 per share net loss was double the deficit in the second quarter of 2024. Memories of a hot deal fading The resulting investor sell-off was quite the comedown for the company, which, as recently as May, was riding high on news of a deal with chip giant Nvidia. The two announced they were teaming up to develop hardware solutions for the coming wave of data centers outfitted to service the needs of artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
