Lottery.com, an online lottery ticket selling platform, has admitted in an SEC filing that it owes $425,000 (£351,840/ €418,350) in unpaid wages.
The board also outlined in strong terms the company’s precarious position, stating that it “currently has sufficient financial resources to fund its operations and pay certain existing obligations, including salaries and related obligations.” I haven’t,” he said.
“If the company is unable to pay this amount, the employee may terminate the relationship with the company or seek legal remedies.
“As of July 29, 2022, the company has an outstanding payroll liability of approximately $ 425,000.”
The Board’s analysis of the consequences of failing to meet this payroll obligation raises serious questions about Lottery.com’s ability to continue to function in its current state.
“Since the company’s business depends on the efforts and talents of its employees, especially its developers and engineers, and on the continuous service provided by its employees to its customers, a material loss of its employee base will cause the company to We may be unable to: operate our technology, meet our obligations to our customers, lose key customer relationships and revenues, and claim breach of our contractual obligations.”
Lottery.com’s Chief Legal and Operating Officer, Catherine Lieber (Catherine Lever), is the only C-level employee remaining after the wave of leaving the company and has signed the filing declaration.
The news follows a July 19 report revealing that Lottery.com “exaggerated” its cash holdings by $30 million following the dismissal of president and CFO Ryan Dickinson.
This follows a review that found “violations of state and federal laws relating to the state in which the ticket was procured.”
