Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K is a current report filed by Lottery.com Inc. (trading symbol: LTRY) on August 24, 2022. The registrant is a Delaware corporation with principal executive offices in Spicewood, Texas. The filing addresses regulatory compliance issues with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC rather than reporting standard financial performance metrics for a specific fiscal period.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The document focuses exclusively on stock price compliance and regulatory filing status.
Material Changes and Compliance Issues
- Bid Price Non-Compliance: The Company received notice from Nasdaq that its common stock failed to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, violating Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).
- Reporting Delinquency: The Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) due to the failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022.
- Regulatory Inquiries: The Company is cooperating with two letters from Nasdaq requesting information regarding matters disclosed in previous 8-K filings from July 2022.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Compliance Timeline: The Company has 180 calendar days (until February 20, 2023) to regain compliance with the bid price requirement. Compliance can be achieved if the stock closes at or above $1.00 for ten consecutive trading days. If the Company fails to comply by the deadline, it may be eligible for an additional 180-day period, contingent on meeting other listing standards and potentially effecting a reverse stock split.
Delisting Risk: If the Company cannot cure the deficiencies or is deemed ineligible for a second compliance period, Nasdaq may initiate delisting proceedings. The Company may appeal such a determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, though success is not assured.
Forward-Looking Risks: Management highlights significant uncertainties, including the ability to secure additional capital, continue as a going concern, respond to Nasdaq inquiries, and become current with SEC reports. The filing explicitly states there can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current trading price of LTRY to assess the likelihood of meeting the $1.00 bid price requirement.

- Review the July 2022 8-K filings referenced in the Nasdaq information requests to understand the underlying regulatory matters.
