Lotto.com, the first digital platform for ordering official state lottery draw and scratch games, has announced the appointments of Ruxandra Tereanu as Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Amanda Coyle as Vice President of Human Resources. The moves strengthen the company's executive leadership team as it expands operations across the United States.
Thomas Metzger, CEO of Lotto.com, stated: "Ruxandra and Amanda bring a powerful combination of operational expertise, leadership experience, and people-first thinking that will help drive Lotto.com's next phase of growth. As we continue expanding our platform and reach, their leadership will be instrumental in scaling our business while maintaining the strong culture and customer experience that define Lotto.com."
Tereanu, who holds a degree in Computer Science and is certified in change management, joins Lotto.com after 13 years with Flutter Entertainment (NYSE: FLUT; LSE: FLTR), the parent company of FanDuel. In her new role, she will oversee operational strategy and execution across the organization. "Lottery is the last major gaming category moving online, and the opportunity ahead is enormous," said Tereanu. "What attracted me to Lotto.com is the combination of innovation, growth, and impact. As the business expands, we have an opportunity to reach new customers, enter new markets, and continue growing contributions to the state programs that benefit from lottery revenue."
Coyle brings more than a decade of HR leadership experience from high-growth technology, media, and consumer-focused organizations, most recently at Screenvision Media. She holds a Bachelor of Arts from Point Park University, a Professional in Human Resources (PHR) certification, and a Human Resources Management Certificate from Cornell University. As VP of Human Resources, she will lead talent acquisition, employee experience, leadership development, compensation and benefits, and organizational effectiveness. "Lotto.com is at an exciting stage of growth," said Coyle. "I'm excited to help build and scale the people strategy, strengthen leadership capabilities, and create an employee experience that supports both business performance and long-term success."
The appointments underscore Lotto.com's commitment to investing in leadership and operational excellence to support its mission of modernizing the lottery experience. The company currently operates in 12 jurisdictions: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, and Puerto Rico. With over 4 million customers and having created 12 millionaires, including a record $3 million scratch ticket win in Colorado, Lotto.com is poised for further expansion.
For business leaders and technology observers, these executive hires signal a strategic push to scale operations and enter new markets. The online lottery sector represents a significant growth opportunity as it digitizes a traditionally brick-and-mortar industry. Lotto.com's focus on operational efficiency and talent management will be critical as it competes in the regulated gaming space and navigates state-specific regulations. The company's ability to attract seasoned executives from major players like Flutter Entertainment highlights its potential to become a dominant player in the online lottery courier market.
Lotto.com is the only BBB A+ Accredited lottery courier service and is certified by Gaming Laboratories International and the National Council on Problem Gambling, emphasizing its commitment to security and responsible gaming. As the company expands, it will continue to contribute to state programs in education, parks, emergency responders, veterans' health, and other services.
