Jackpocket offers a mobile app that allows users to buy and manage state lottery tickets conveniently. Users can choose their numbers or use a Quick Pick option, and the app sends a scan of the purchased ticket while securely storing the physical ticket. Unlike competitors, Jackpocket partners with licensed retailers to ensure compliance with state regulations and charges a small service fee for its convenience features. The goal is to make participating in lotteries more accessible and enjoyable while promoting responsible gaming.
