Online lottery platform Lottery.com has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Voyager Digital Ltd, which will establish an agreement to enable Lottery.com users to generate payment transactions through the Voyager payment platform.

Voyager is a publicly traded holding company whose subsidiaries operate a licensed crypto-asset brokerage that provides investors with an app and platform to invest in and trade crypto assets.

Tony DiMatteo, CEO and Co-Founder of Lottery.com, said: “Lottery.com is committed to providing state-of-the-art solutions to the lottery and real money gaming industry. We are excited to offer our users access to a burgeoning financial system while we drive growth and diversity for Lottery.com.

“We look forward to working together with Voyager to continue pioneering blockchain solutions by leveraging the resources, strengths, and talent of both companies and their offerings.”

Lottery.com’s agreement with Voyager lines up with DiMatteo’s recent appearance on The Bell2Bell Podcast, where he stated he believes there’s a ‘huge expansion opportunity’ in the market of online lottery ticket purchasing.

Stephen Ehrlich, CEO and Co-Founder of Voyager, added: “This new partnership highlights the growing integration of digital assets as currency for purchases, and further illustrates the power of Voyager’s retail-focused platform as a robust tool to reach the masses.

“Once launched, users will have the ability to use their crypto assets for Lottery.com transactions, including games or lottery tickets. Voyager seeks to drive the adoption of cryptocurrency, and our ongoing commitment to innovation makes Voyager a natural partner for online and offline companies looking to add crypto payments to their business.”
