Lotto.com, the first online lottery platform to digitally deliver draw games and scratch tickets, announced the appointments of Ruxandra Tereanu as Chief Operating Officer and Amanda Coyle as Vice President of Human Resources, effective immediately. The moves bolster the company's executive leadership as it continues to grow its footprint across the United States.
Thomas Metzger, CEO of Lotto.com, said in a statement, "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 joins as COO, will oversee operational strategy and execution across the organization. She comes from Flutter Entertainment (NYSE: FLUT; LSE: FLTR), the parent company of FanDuel, where she spent 13 years in leadership roles across operations, marketing, and technology, helping scale regulated gaming businesses. "Lottery is the last major gaming category moving online, and the opportunity ahead is enormous," Tereanu said. "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." Tereanu holds a degree in Computer Science and is certified in change management.
Coyle joins as Vice President of Human Resources, leading the company's people strategy, including talent acquisition, employee experience, leadership development, compensation and benefits, and organizational effectiveness. She brings over a decade of HR leadership experience in high-growth technology, media, and consumer-focused organizations, most recently at Screenvision Media. "Lotto.com is at an exciting stage of growth," Coyle said. "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." 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.
The appointments reflect Lotto.com's continued investment in leadership and operational excellence as it seeks to modernize 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 expansion plans on the horizon. Lotto.com has over 4 million customers and has created 12 millionaires via state-run games. More information is available at www.lotto.com.
For HR vendors, this news highlights the importance of scaling people operations in high-growth, regulated industries. Lotto.com's focus on talent acquisition, leadership development, and employee experience underscores the need for robust HR strategies as companies expand into new markets. The appointments also signal that even niche online platforms are prioritizing operational and HR leadership to sustain growth and maintain culture.
