Our take
Buying lottery tickets is expected to be a $450 billion global industry by 2027, and the process is going mobile. This is benefitting younger generations of lottery buyers as many considered the old-fashioned purchasing process to be inaccessible.
Jackpocket was founded in 2013 and was the first third-party lottery app in the US that allowed customers to buy official state lottery tickets digitally. Its platform enables the purchasing of tickets for lotteries such as Powerball and Mega Millions across twelve US states.
The company has raised $200 million in funding rounds to date and plans to continue expanding the range of lotteries and states that are supported. It benefits from increased attention and downloads when jackpots reach millions, and it is likely that the company will only continue to grow its partner, employee and customer base due to this.
