Jackpocket has grabbed headlines again after the company confirmed that it had sold the winning ticket for a $83.5m payday to one lucky soul in Texas. The jackpot was won on February 17th and is one of the largest-ever winning tickets sold through the platform and further establishing it as a convenient tool to use when looking to place quick lottery tickets.
The person in question placed 10 entries for the jackpot drawing for the Lotto Texas with one of these proving to be a success indeed! The player used the 19, 21, 25, 45, 47, and 52 numbers to win the eye-watering eight-figure sum and transform their life in quite a significant way.
Although not many further details were revealed about the person per se, nor how they felt about the win, or what they intended to do with it, DraftKings SVP, Lottery Pete Sullivan was pleased with the significant win, and the fact that Jackpocket has served as the mediator for that person buying the winning ticket.
"It’s always exciting when one of our customers hits ajackpotand joins the growing list of Texas winners who have won more than $1 million since 2021 from a ticket ordered using Jackpocket. Wins like this remind us of the fun and anticipation that make lottery games such a unique and enjoyable experience."
Jackpocket is also keen to keep growing its clout in regional markets, with 19 jurisdictions where the app is already available and, in all likelihood, more to come. Jackpocket makes it easy for players to purchase their tickets online and get a physical copy delivered within hours.
The new win comes only a month after another big winner purchased a $112,000,000 jackpot number with the winning numbers 8, 10, 37, 54, 69 and the Mega Ball number of 22. Big lottery wins happen almost every day in the United States, and Jackpocket has decided to position itself as a facilitator, offering digital receipts and a handy way for lottery players to not misplace their winning tickets.
