Ohio Man Wins $1 Million Powerball Prize
Jackpocket has announced that a man in Dayton, Ohio won $1 million after ordering a $6 ticket on his phone with Jackpocket. This exciting win marks the 30th time a Jackpocket user has won a prize of $1 million or more in the company’s 10-year history.
The winner, who originally hails from Australia and moved to Ohio for work, could not believe his eyes when he received a “you won big!” notification on his phone. “I was scrolling through emails just doing a bit of work, and then I saw a pop-up to check the app,” the winner recalled. “I saw ‘$1 million’ in the message and had to read it a few times.”
His winning ticket matched all five regular numbers drawn (17, 24, 48, 62, 68) in the July 5th drawing for $546M, only missing the red Powerball (23). His chosen numbers had “personal significance” to him and his wife. “To be honest, there was not lots of shouting or hoorays or anything like that, just more of a case of letting it sink in,” he said about that winning moment. “It’s still a bit surreal.”
He and his wife were excited to play the lottery while living in the US, where Powerball and Mega Millions have soared past $1 billion three times in the last year. “We just figured that while we’re here for a few short years, we might as well get a few tickets and see what happens,” he said. “We feel very lucky.”
Jackpocket operates in Ohio in partnership with Circle K, the largest convenience store brand in the US, and is available for Powerball, Mega Millions and more official state lottery games in 16 states. Lottery players have now won over $300 million in prizes using Jackpocket, including another $1 million Powerball prize in Ohio last summer and a record $9.4 million prize in New Jersey, representing the single largest legal-and-regulated win ever on a mobile device in the US.
The lottery company Jackpocket has announced its launch in Arizona in partnership with Circle K. Lottery players in the state can use Jackpocket to play a variety of online games, including Powerball, Mega Millions, The Pick, Fantasy 5, and Pick 3.
Through the app, players can place ticket orders, view their tickets, check results, receive prizes up to $599, and make payouts. To celebrate its launch in the state, the firm is offering players their first lottery ticket free – new players can receive a $2 lottery ticket by entering the code HEYAZ at checkout.
Melissa Lessard, head of North American Marketing at Circle K, said: “Circle K is proud to partner with Jackpocket to make this fun, user-friendly experience available to every player in Arizona. We strive to make our customers’ lives a little easier every day, and our partnership with Jackpocket aligns closely with this mission by making lottery more accessible, user-oriented and convenient.”
