Lottery App Hits $1M in Prize Payouts, Launches New Daily Games
Jackpocket and NJ Lottery Respond to Customer Demand Amidst Unprecedented Changes
Jackpocket, New Jersey’s first and only registered lottery courier service, today announced New Jersey players have won more than $1 million in lottery prizes using its mobile app for playing the lottery. The million-dollar milestone comes six months after Jackpocket debuted the app in New Jersey in December 2019.
Now Jackpocket is offering customers even more chances to win with the launch of New Jersey Lottery daily games in the app. New Jerseyans can now place ticket orders for seven well-known draw games, including Mega Millions, Powerball, CASH4LIFE, Pick-6, Pick-3, Pick-4, and Jersey Cash 5 from the convenience of their phones.
“Daily games have been a top request from our New Jersey users from the start,” Jackpocket CEO Peter Sullivan said. “Jackpocket now gives players a safe, alternative way to play both big jackpot games like Powerball and daily games like Jersey Cash 5 from home.”
New Jersey is the first state lottery to formally authorize lottery courier services, allowing the placement of orders through a mobile app. After a player selects their game and numbers, Jackpocket then purchases the ticket on the player’s behalf from a licensed New Jersey lottery retailer and uploads an image of the ticket into the app. Tickets cannot be lost, and winnings under $600 are credited automatically to the player’s account. In addition to placing ticket orders, Jackpocket players can check lottery results, join lottery pools with friends and family, and access in-app responsible gaming tools.
The app’s simple and secure ordering process broadens access to the lottery and increases participation for both longtime players and new consumers who otherwise would not be active lottery players. Fifty-three percent of Jackpocket users in New Jersey are under 45 years old.
“Before Jackpocket, if there was a huge lottery jackpot, then maybe I’d try to find time to go and buy a ticket, but it was never convenient,” said a Bergen County lottery player, who recently won a $20,000 Mega Millions prize using the app. “Now I can take out my phone and place the order, see my past tickets and my lifetime winnings—all your play is in one place.”
Jackpocket app users have won more than $11 million in lottery prizes since the company began rolling out the app state by state in 2015.
The app is available for download on iOS or Android. For more information, visit jackpocket.com.

ComeOn Launches New Marketing Campaign in Ontario
ComeOn Group has launched its new marketing campaign in Ontario. The campaign underscores ComeOn Group’s long-term commitment to sustainable expansion – powered by ComeOn’s proprietary technology and a clear focus on delivering standout, personalized entertainment experiences at scale.
Since entering Ontario in 2022 with its licensed online casino offering, ComeOn Group has steadily built its presence in one of North America’s most competitive regulated markets. In late 2024, the Group reached a major strategic milestone with the launch of its full proprietary sportsbook in the province, expanding its product portfolio and strengthening its position as a full-suite iGaming operator.
The addition of sportsbook enables ComeOn to offer both casino and sports betting within a unified entertainment ecosystem. This expansion aligns with the Group’s broader global strategy to accelerate sportsbook growth, leveraging its in-house platform, trading capabilities, and risk management expertise to scale efficiently across regulated jurisdictions.
To support this next phase of growth in Ontario, ComeOn Group has shifted to an independent media planning model, activating a bold, high-frequency presence across Linear TV, Connected TV (CTV), and Digital channels. This approach reflects the Group’s product-led philosophy- pairing increased brand visibility with a seamless, personalized player journey powered by a robust, in-house technology stack built for performance and scale.
At the centre of the campaign is a series of premium television commercials starring Jeremy Piven, a long-standing ComeOn brand ambassador. Piven’s high-energy presence and authentic connection to sports reinforce the brand’s entertainment-first positioning, bringing ComeOn’s sportsbook experience to life across TV and digital. Produced by ComeOn Group’s internal creative hub, the campaign provides a cohesive creative platform that clearly differentiates the brand in a crowded market.
Efi Peleg, Chief Commercial Officer at ComeOn Group, said: “Ontario is a critical and highly competitive market for us. By shifting to independent media planning and activating a true 360-degree marketing mix, we’re not just increasing awareness – we’re demonstrating the strength of our proprietary platform and our ability to deliver a superior, personalised player experience. Our headline campaign, led by Jeremy Piven, brings our entertainment-first proposition to life and reflects our broader strategy of driving sustainable growth in key regulated markets through differentiated products and data-driven execution.”
