Lottery app and website Jackpot.com has announced its launch in New Jersey, one of the largest lottery markets in the United States. Prominent New Jersey sports investors, including the Tisch family, co-owners of the New York Giants and Gotham FC, and NHL legend Martin Brodeur, are backing the service.
Jackpot.com allows New Jersey lottery players to order tickets for major draws such as Powerball and Mega Millions, along with state-specific games like Pick-3, Pick-4, and Cash 4 Life. The New Jersey lottery market recorded total sales of $3.72 billion during the 2023 fiscal year.
The platform purchases tickets from official state lottery retailers, providing customers with a scan of their ticket and real-time transfer of winnings under $600 to their account. For prizes exceeding $600, Jackpot.com securely delivers the winning ticket to players to claim their prize directly from the New Jersey Lottery.
“We’re thrilled to announce Jackpot.com’s New Jersey launch, the sixth state that will feature our unique service,” said CEO and co-founder Akshay K. Khanna. “We are excited to help New Jerseyans play the lottery online with increased convenience, security, and safety.”
Carolyn Tisch Blodgett, CEO and Founder of Next 3, expressed enthusiasm about the launch. “We saw how successful last summer’s New York launch was for Jackpot.com and we knew we wanted to be a part of bringing the fun and accessibility of online lottery to New Jersey,” she said.
Jackpot.com notes it has prioritized responsible gaming by integrating modern conveniences and safety measures into its product. Customers can set spend limits and daily deposit limits, access local and national responsible gambling resources, and utilize self-exclusion and self-suspension options. Automated notifications also offer help for detecting problematic behavior.
In March, Jackpot.com announced its entry into the Arkansas market, which at the time marked its fifth state launch in just over a year.
