Jackpot.com enters fourth US market with Massachusetts launch
Opeator launches with Powerball, Mega Millions, Mass Cash, and Lucky for Life tickets initially, with more games to come in the near future
Jackpot.com has entered its fourth US state with the launch of its app and website in Massachusetts.
The online lottery courier allows players to buy official state lottery tickets and collect winnings directly on their phone, desktop, or tablet.
The firm currently operates in Texas, New York, and Ohio and will now add the Old Colony State to its growing portfolio.
The company has been backed by a number of significant names across the sports and entertainment industry, including the Kraft Group, Fenway Sports Group president Mike Gordon, and Boston Red Sox CEO and president Sam Kennedy.
Jackpot.com is initially launching in the Commonwealth with four offerings: Powerball, Mega Millions, Mass Cash, and Lucky for Life.
The operator confirmed more games would be added to the offering in the near future.
Akshay Khanna, Jackpot.com CEO and co-founder, said: “We’re excited to bring Jackpot.com to Massachusetts and offer customers a better experience to get in on the fun and try their luck on a winning ticket.
“Every year, billions of dollars from the lottery go unclaimed due to lost tickets or otherwise. When you play the lottery with Jackpot.com on your phone, tablet, or computer, there’s no missing out on jackpots and your winnings are instantly transferred to you.”
Jackpot.com was one of several firms featured in EGR’s recent exploration of the online lottery space in the US, which also featured contributions from Khanna.
