REOFFER PROSPECTUS

 

LOTTERY.COM INC.

 

2,807,621 Shares of Common Stock

Offered by Selling Stockholders

 

This reoffer prospectus (the “Reoffer Prospectus”) relates to the offer and sale from time to time by certain selling stockholders named in this Reoffer Prospectus (the “Selling Stockholders”), or their permitted transferees, of up to 2,807,621 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”), of Lottery.com Inc., a Delaware corporation (unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, the “Company,” “Lottery.com,” “we,” “our” or “us”). This Reoffer Prospectus covers the offer and sale by the Selling Stockholders of 2,807,621 shares of Common Stock previously granted under restricted stock award agreements to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the AutoLotto, Inc. 2015 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the “2015 Plan”). We are not offering any shares of Common Stock and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this Reoffer Prospectus.

 

Upon the vesting of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby under the applicable restricted stock award agreements, the Selling Stockholders may from time to time sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the shares of Common Stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus in various types of transactions, including through underwriters or dealers, directly to purchasers (or a single purchaser) or through broker-dealers or agents. If underwriters or dealers are used to sell the shares of Common Stock, we will name them and describe their compensation in a prospectus supplement. The shares of Common Stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, prevailing market prices at the time of sale, prices related to the prevailing market prices, varying prices determined at the time of sale or negotiated prices. We do not know when or in what amount the Selling Stockholders may offer the shares of Common Stock for sale. The Selling Stockholders may sell any, all or none of the shares of Common Stock offered by this Reoffer Prospectus. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 4 for more information about how the Selling Stockholders may sell or dispose of the shares of Common Stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus.

 

The shares of Common Stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus are “control securities” under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), before their sale under this Reoffer Prospectus. This Reoffer Prospectus has been prepared for the purposes of registering the shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act to allow for future sales by the Selling Stockholders on a continuous or delayed basis to the public without restriction.

 

Our Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “LTRY.” On April 5, 2022, the closing price of our Common Stock was $3.04 per share.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under the federal securities laws, and, as such, we are subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

 

Investing in our securities involves risks that are described in the “Risk Factors” section on page 2 of this Reoffer Prospectus.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued under this Reoffer Prospectus or determined if this Reoffer Prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

The date of this prospectus is April 6, 2022.

geopolitical shifts and changes in applicable laws or regulations or the manner in which they are interpreted;

Overview

 

We are a leading provider of domestic and international lottery products and services. As an independent third-party lottery game service, we offer a platform that we architected, developed, and operate to enable the remote purchase of legally sanctioned lottery games in the U.S. and abroad (the “Platform”). Our revenue generating activities consist of (i) offering the Platform via our Lottery.com app and our websites to users located in the U.S. and international jurisdictions where the sale of lottery games is legal and our services are enabled for the remote purchase of sanctioned lottery games (our “B2C Platform”); (ii) selling credits (“LotteryLink Credits”) that can be exchanged for flexible promotion packages that include our marketing collateral, prepaid advertising, development services, account management, and prepaid lottery games for use in promotions to our third-party master affiliate marketing partners for use by them and by their sub-affiliates in undertaking affiliate marketing activities and promoting our B2C Platform (“LotteryLink”); (iii) offering an internally developed, created, and operated business-to-business application programming interface (“API”) of the Platform to enable our commercial partners, in permitted U.S. and international jurisdictions, to purchase certain legally operated lottery games from us and to resell them to users located within their respective jurisdictions (“B2B API”); and (iv) delivering global lottery data, such as winning numbers and results, and subscriptions to data sets of our proprietary, anonymized transaction data pursuant to multi-year contracts to commercial digital subscribers (“Data Service”).

 

We currently derive substantially all of our revenue from service fees paid to us by users of our B2C Platform, the sale of our LotteryLink Credits, revenue share arrangements with commercial partners participating in our B2B API, and subscription fees from users of our Data Service. We intend to pursue growth through the implementation of new products and features within our B2C Platform services, expansion of our B2C Platform offering into new domestic and international jurisdictions, expansion of our LotteryLink program and the sale of additional LotteryLink Credits, entry into additional agreements with new commercial partners for our B2B API, execution of strategic acquisitions and other synergistic opportunities, including gaining access to complementary and new technology through such acquisitions, and investment in and development of new technology, and enhancement of our existing technology in each of our business lines, including distributed ledger technology. In December 2021, we finalized the acquisition of the domain name https://sports.com and are exploring opportunities for the intended strategic entry into legal sports gaming verticals, which may include the distribution of sports lottery games. We also expect to grow our brand and commitment to social awareness through our affiliation with WinTogether, a registered 501(c)(3) charitable trust (“WinTogether”).

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The shares of Common Stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus are being registered by the Company for the account of the Selling Stockholders. The shares of Common Stock offered may be sold from time to time directly by or on behalf of each Selling Stockholder in one or more transactions on Nasdaq or any other stock exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed at the time of sale, in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions, any other method permitted by applicable law or through a combination of such methods, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at fixed prices (which may be changed) or at negotiated prices. These transactions may include block transactions or crosses. Crosses are transactions in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade. The Selling Stockholders may sell the Common Stock through one or more agents, brokers-dealers or directly to purchasers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts, or concessions from the Selling Stockholders and/or purchasers of the Common Stock or both. Such compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions. The amount of shares of Common Stock to be reoffered or resold under the Reoffer Prospectus by each Selling Stockholder and any other person with whom he or she is acting in concert for the purpose of selling Common Stock, may not exceed, during any three-month period, the amount specified in Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act.

 

At the time a particular offering of the Common Stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the name of the Selling Stockholders, the aggregate amount of the Common Stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including, to the extent required, (1) the name or names of any underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents, (2) any discounts, commissions, and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Stockholders, and (3) any discounts, commissions, or concessions allowed or reallowed to be paid to broker-dealers.

 

In connection with their sales, a Selling Securityholder, and any participating broker-dealer may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions they receive and the proceeds of any sale of Common Stock may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the Common Stock. Any commissions or other fees payable to broker-dealers in connection with any sale of the Common Stock will be borne by the Selling Stockholders or other party selling such shares of Common Stock.

 

The Selling Stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner, and size of each resale or other transfer. There is no assurance that the Selling Stockholders will sell all or a portion of the Common Stock offered hereby under this Reoffer Prospectus. Further, we cannot assure you that the Selling Stockholders will not transfer, distribute, devise, or gift the Common Stock by other means not described in this Reoffer Prospectus. In addition to any Common Stock sold hereunder, Selling Stockholders may sell Common Stock in compliance with Rule 144. Sales of the Common Stock must be made by the Selling Stockholders in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws and regulations, including the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders may agree to indemnify any broker, dealer, or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the Common Stock against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the Common Stock arising under the Securities Act. We have notified the Selling Stockholders of the need to deliver a copy of this Reoffer Prospectus in connection with any sale of the Common Stock.

 

The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) may apply to resales of shares of Common Stock and activities of the Selling Stockholders, which may limit the timing of purchases and resales of any of the shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Common Stock to engage in passive market-making activities with respect to the Common Stock. Passive market-making involves transactions in which a market maker acts as both our underwriter and as a purchaser of shares of Common Stock in the secondary market. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock.

 

Once sold under the registration statement on Form S-8, of which this Reoffer Prospectus forms a part, the shares of Common Stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to which this Registration Statement relates, which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing or furnishing of such documents.

 

Any statement contained herein or in a document, all or a portion of which is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein, shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no information is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement where such information under applicable forms and regulations of the SEC is not deemed to be “filed” under Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, unless the report or filing containing such information indicates that the information therein is to be considered “filed” under the Exchange Act or is to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

 

Item 4. Description of Securities.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Section 145 of the DGCL provides, generally, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A corporation may similarly indemnify such person for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of any action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in the case of claims, issues and matters as to which such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, provided that a court shall have determined, upon application, that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

 

II-1

 

 

In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, Lottery.com’s charter provides that a director will not be personally liable to Lottery.com or Lottery.com’s stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to Lottery.com or Lottery.com’s stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. No such provision shall eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision became effective. Accordingly, these provisions will have no effect on the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission based on a director’s breach of his or her duty of care.

 

Lottery.com’s bylaws provides that it will indemnify its present and former directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL and that such indemnification will not be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw provision, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

Lottery.com has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its current directors and officers containing provisions which are in some respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL. The indemnification agreements require Lottery.com, among other things, to indemnify its directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

 

Lottery.com’s charter provides for indemnification of Lottery.com’s directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL, and Lottery.com’s bylaws provide for indemnification of Lottery.com’s directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL.

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

(a)The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

(i)to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
   
(ii)to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§ 230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
   
(iii)to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement.

 

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

 

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

 

  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(b)The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
