Lottery.com Enters MOU with MSL to Offer U.S. Lottery Products in Ukraine

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lottery.com (the “Company”), a leading online platform to play the lottery online or from a mobile device, continues its international expansion and has announced that it has entered into an MOU for cooperation with MSL, a Ukrainian state lottery operator, to offer select Lottery.com products in the Ukraine. This announcement comes on the heels of the Company reaffirming its intent to sign a definitive agreement for a business combination with Trident Acquisitions Corp. (NASDAQ: TDACU, TDAC, TDACW) by mid-February 2021. Select products from the Company will be available both physically and electronically, when approved by Ukrainian legislation, and will be in accordance with current and upcoming compliance requirements of the Ukrainian legislation on lotteries.

MSL, a member of the European Association of State Lotteries, is the largest state lottery operator in Eastern Europe. This agreement will make MSL the exclusive distributor of select Lottery.com products in the Ukraine. Ukraine has a population of about 45 million people, with an estimated gambling market of approximately one billion euros (€1,000,000,000 EUR).

“MSL is an expert and leader in the lottery space in Ukraine. We are grateful to be partnered with such an established powerhouse in the lottery and gaming industry and very excited to expand into the Eastern European market,” said Tony DiMatteo, Chief Executive Officer of Lottery.com.

Lottery.com has been actively working on expanding its international presence and along with other expansion announcements made earlier this year, plans to announce more territories in the coming weeks.

On November 19, 2020, Lottery.com announced a binding letter of intent to combine with Trident Acquisitions Corp. (NASDAQ: TDACU, TDAC, TDACW), which would make Lottery.com a publicly-traded company on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
