Jackpocket

Mobile lottery ticket purchase and management

Overview

Jackpocket lets people buy lottery tickets from a mobile app by selecting numbers or using Quick Pick, with purchases made through licensed retailers and the app receiving a scanned copy for ownership while the physical ticket is stored securely. After purchase, users get ticket scans, win notifications, and optional features like ticket pooling to improve odds, all while staying compliant with state rules. It stands apart by not being tied to one state lottery and by working through a network of licensed retailers, providing clear scans, secure storage, and group-play options. Its goal is to make lottery participation easy, trustworthy, and convenient for players while boosting retailer activity, supporting state proceeds, and encouraging responsible gaming.
