Project Summary
Lottery is a platform for online lotteries. Previously, the project was called AutoLoto. Lottery operates in the United States and calls itself a social company because it is actively engaged in charity work. Now there is information on the website about 4 lotteries, 2 of which have a prize fund hundreds of millions of dollars. Lottery was founded in 2015, and the CEO of the project began to work in this area 7 years ago, when there were only paper lotteries in the USA and absence of online platforms. A year later, the company received approval from USA regulators, and now, according to CEO, the company’s share is from 30 to 40% of total sales in the USA.
Lottery users participate in local and national lotteries through a mobile application that allows them to check paper lottery tickets for winnings, as well as play Mega Millions and Powerball on smartphones. The company does not allow unreliable people to participate in lotteries. Each participant passes KYC; the company organizes the reliability rating of the users and has access to a database of similar portals. Now the company holds lotteries and a database on the blockchain.
Lottery allocates money for charity and is going to solve the problems of hunger in the world in partnership with the UN food program. The team is going to organize a global charity lottery for this. According to the CEO of the project, about 70% of all tickets in the USA are bought by people with incomes of more than $75 thousand. They will offer the most effective methods of stimulation: for example, organize a meeting with a favorite star as a win for them.
The gaming industry is a huge market, which was estimated at $37 billion in 2015. The idea to transfer gaming industry on blockchain is not new, but it has the good prospects. There are blockchain solutions for the gaming industry, and projects such as, VDice, Edgeless, DAO.Casino, using the blockchain and smart contracts Ethereum, gathered at ICO the large amount. The issue of security tokens guarantees legal purity and absence of problems with regulators, which is especially important for such a project.
Where Does Blockchain Come in?
In the gaming industry blockchain helps to make games «provably fair», guarantees transparency, and allows smart contracts to be used to build reliable gaming systems.

Friendliness to the Investors
Friendliness to the Investors is low. The main information for the review had to be taken from the interview of the project CEO. There is many information on the website. There is no WP, links to Telegram or profiles in social networks.
Positive Indicators
- The promising idea.
- The strong team.
- The project has been working since 2015.
- Lottery issues SEC‐tokens, therefore the project is legally clean and agreed with regulators. Investment risks are lower than if you participated in the ICO with the utility tokens.
Negative Indicators
- Nothing is known about the tokens, except that it is security. There are no WP and chat in Telegram.
- The emphasis on charity allows to suggest that high earnings is not the main goal of the project.
Summing Up
It makes sense for large long‐term investors to fill out an application and look at the Lottery. Perhaps, after filling out the application, the team will give more complete information about the crowdsale and the expected benefits for investors.
Since Security tokens usually mean buying a share of the company and give the right to receive dividends, they are more reliable in comparison with to utility tokens. In addition, Lottery has been working in the USA since 2015 and controling at least ⅓ market, has an experienced team and advisors, which is very important for any project. We put 9 out of 10.
