Jackpocket, Inc. is an American technology company headquartered in New York, New York. It produces an app for ordering U.S. lottery tickets in Arkansas, Colorado, Montana, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, and Washington, D.C.

History
Jackpocket was founded in 2013 by Peter Sullivan, who was inspired by his father, a daily lottery player, to create an app for lottery tickets. The company operates as a lottery courier service. It is the first registered lottery courier service in New York and New Jersey, the two U.S. states which have passed regulations for the operation of digital lottery courier services.

In October 2021, NJ.com reported that a New Jersey Lottery player had won a $9.4 million jackpot on a ticket ordered via the Jackpocket app.

In November 2021, the company raised a $120 million Series D round led by venture capital firm Left Lane Capital which included participation from Mark Cuban. To date, Jackpocket has raised $200 million and is valued at $620 million.

Products
Jackpocket is an application for IOS, Android and web devices. The platform allows for the placement of lottery ticket orders by users whose devices are geolocated to a state where Jackpocket is available. The tickets are fulfilled from official state lottery retailers, scanned, and delivered electronically for viewing in the app. If a lottery prize is won, the company provides the physical ticket to the customer so they can collect their prize from the state lottery. In 2022, Jackpocket received a casino license in New Jersey, through a deal with Caesars Interactive Entertainment, and will be launching iGaming products, including digital slot machines and real-money bingo, by next year.
