EQL Games Teaming with U.S. Soccer Federation to Bring the Excitement of Soccer to Lottery Players

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 10, 2026 – EQL Games is thrilled to announce the launch of a new U.S. Soccer-themed scratch ticket with the Missouri Lottery, bringing the excitement of America’s fastest-growing sport to lottery players across the state. The timing of the release of the ticket is also important as the soccer world’s attention turns to the U.S. for the FIFA Men’s World Cup which starts this week across North America.

Through EQL Games’ multi-year licensing agreement with the U.S. Soccer Federation, the new ticket features official branding from U.S. Soccer. The $5 ticket offers players a unique opportunity to connect with the sport while playing for a chance to win cash prizes and U.S. Soccer gift cards.

“We are excited to partner with the Missouri Lottery to bring the U.S. Soccer brand to players in Missouri,” said Brad Cummings, Founder and CEO of EQL Games. “This is an exciting time for soccer in the United States, and this ticket allows fans to engage with America’s soccer team in a fun and rewarding way.”

EQL Games serves as a lottery representative for U.S. Soccer, enabling lotteries nationwide to integrate the brand across multiple game formats, including scratch tickets, draw games, and digital offerings. The Missouri Lottery is the first lottery to launch a U.S. Soccer-related lottery product.

“At the Missouri Lottery, we are always focused on offering innovative products that resonate with our players,” said Lester Elder, Executive Director of the Missouri Lottery. “The U.S. Soccer ticket brings together the thrill of the game and the excitement of supporting the national teams. This creates a unique experience that we believe will strongly connect with both soccer fans and lottery players across Missouri, especially during this exciting period for soccer in the U.S.”
