What Speednet Group does

Speednet Group LLC is a privately held, founder-owned technology company established in 1999 and headquartered in Martinsville, New Jersey, with a data center in Dallas, Texas. The company operates a portfolio of consumer-facing internet products centered on the lottery information vertical, most notably Lottery Post (described as the world's largest community of lottery players, featuring discussion forums, results, prize payouts, news, and predictions) and USA Mega (a multi-state lottery site for Mega Millions and Powerball). It also publishes the annual Lottery Post Lottery Results Almanac book series for US and Canada markets and offers a B2B Lottery Results Data Feed in multiple formats backed by redundant infrastructure across three countries. The company runs a lean team of 1-10 employees and has remained bootstrapped since founding with no disclosed external investment.

Revenue is generated through five distinct streams: one-time book sales via direct (CreateSpace/KDP), retail (Amazon, Barnes & Noble), and wholesale (Baker & Taylor, Ingram) channels; B2B subscription data feeds delivering structured lottery data in XML, plain text, HTML, and JavaScript formats; custom server-based web hosting sold directly to select enterprise clients on annual payment plans; engagement-based technology consulting across eight industries including pharmaceutical, manufacturing, transportation, and media; and free consumer software (URL Blocker browser extension, open-source jQuery/TinyMCE plugins, Windows desktop lottery gadget) with no direct monetization. The technology stack is built on a proprietary lottery results database maintained since 1999, browser-native extension APIs, and standard web infrastructure. Customer acquisition relies primarily on organic search engine traffic, word-of-mouth referrals, open traffic statistics transparency (Quantcast), and a mailing list for book announcements. The company has remained in continuous operation for over 25 years under the leadership of founder and CEO Todd Northrop, who is also the author of the Almanac series and developer of Lottery Post.

Direct peers

• LottoNumbers.com: Consumer-facing lottery results website covering US and international lottery games. Direct peer to Lottery Post in the lottery results aggregation niche, competing for the same organic search audience.
• Lottery Critic: Independent lottery results, news, and information website serving US lottery players. Closely comparable to Speednet's consumer-facing lottery content business with a similar SEO-driven content model.

Broad incumbents

• Jackpocket: US iLottery courier app that lets users order official state lottery tickets online. Comparable to Speednet in serving US lottery players digitally, but Jackpocket focuses on actual ticket transactions versus Speednet's results, data, and community model.
• NeoGames: iLottery turnkey platform provider powering state lotteries' online channels. Operates upstream of Speednet's data feed business, illustrating how the lottery value chain could consolidate and threaten Speednet's positioning as a third-party data provider.
• theLotter: International online lottery ticket purchasing service covering many US and global lotteries. Comparable consumer-facing lottery audience to Lottery Post/USA Mega but operates a transactional model with global footprint versus Speednet's results-and-data focus.
• IGT (International Game Technology): Major lottery technology vendor providing systems, instant tickets, and iLottery solutions to state lotteries worldwide. Comparable as a broad incumbent in lottery data and technology infrastructure that competes for the same enterprise customer attention.
• Lottery.com: Public digital lottery platform offering results, news, and courier services for online ticket purchase. Overlaps with Speednet's Lottery Post consumer results and community focus but operates at larger scale with capital and a broader transactional offering.
• Scientific Games (now part of BROOK): Long-standing lottery systems and technology supplier providing draw management, retail, and digital platforms to state lotteries. Operates at the infrastructure layer adjacent to Speednet's consumer and B2B data offerings.
• Allwyn (formerly Sazka / Camelot): Major global lottery operator running national lotteries in multiple jurisdictions. A broad incumbent that controls official lottery data and could bypass third-party data aggregators like Speednet in favor of proprietary distribution.

Emerging players

• Sportradar: Sports data and content provider with growing lottery data feeds. Comparable to Speednet's B2B data feed model in multi-format delivery to media and operators, though at vastly larger scale and primarily focused on sports.
