A US federal court dismissed the remaining legacy claims against SEGG Media
The decision was based on lack of jurisdiction after federal claims were removed
Claims were dismissed without prejudice and not ruled on their merits

SEGG Media Corporation, formerly known as Lottery.com, has announced that a US federal court has dismissed the remaining claims in a legacy legal dispute linked to the company’s prior operations. 

The ruling was issued on 28 January by the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.

According to the company, the court granted part of SEGG Media’s renewed motion to dismiss on jurisdictional grounds and declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state-law counterclaims. 

With all federal claims previously dismissed, the court determined it no longer had subject matter jurisdiction and ordered the case closed. 

The remaining claims were dismissed without prejudice, meaning they were not resolved on their merits and could theoretically be refiled in another forum.

The case, titled ‘Lottery.com, Inc. f/k/a Autolotto, Inc., et al. v. John J. Brier, Jr., et al.’, stemmed from litigation initiated prior to the company’s rebranding and management changes. 

In its order, the court overruled objections raised by the defendants to the magistrate judge’s findings, effectively ending the federal proceedings.

Commenting on the verdict, SEGG Media COO Gregory Potts stated: “We are delighted with this outcome and agree with the Court’s decision and its application of well-established jurisdictional principles.”

The dismissal comes amid a broader period of transition for SEGG Media, which rebranded in mid-2025 as part of a strategic reset following operational, financial and legal challenges associated with its former Lottery.com business. 

The group has stated that its current focus is on developing its portfolio of digital sports, entertainment and gaming assets, including Sports.com, Concerts.com, TicketStub.com and Lottery.com.

While the ruling closes one chapter of legacy litigation at the federal level, SEGG Media continues to operate against the backdrop of ongoing regulatory scrutiny related to historical matters, including separate civil proceedings brought by the US Securities and Exchange Commission against former executives.

Good to know

The dismissal without prejudice means the claims were not adjudicated on their merits and could potentially be refiled in state court, though the court found it lacked jurisdiction to decide them
