Jackpocket (Acquired by DraftKings)
Jackpocket is a mobile-first company helping to modernize and grow state lotteries, with a mission to create a more convenient, fun and responsible way to play. Jackpocket helps lotteries drive incremental revenue—benefiting essential state programs such as public education, veterans assistance, natural resources and more—while attracting new customers like millennials who otherwise would not be active lottery players. Through the app, players can order tickets for their favorite games, check lottery results, join lottery pools with other Jackpocket players, and turn on autoplay so they never miss a drawing. And by being the first company to automatically lock a player’s identity to their ticket serial number, Jackpocket makes the lottery even more secure.
