Today, Jackpot.com, the online platform and app that allows individuals to safely and securely order official state lottery tickets and scratchers from their mobile phone and other devices, announced its launch in Colorado. On the heels of the Colorado Lottery’s 40th anniversary last year, the Centennial State will feature both draw games and Scratchers (digital scratch off games).

With Jackpot.com, Colorado players can instantly buy tickets for nationwide games such as Mega Millions and Powerball, as well as their favorite state lottery games, including Cash 5, Pick 3, Lucky 4 Life, and more. The innovative platform purchases tickets on behalf of its customers from an official state lottery retailer, displaying a scan of their ticket and transferring winnings under $600 in real-time to their account. For prizes greater than $600, Jackpot.com securely delivers the ticket to the winning player so they can collect the winnings from the Colorado Lottery.

“At Jackpot.com, we remain committed to growing the safe and secure access to the lottery across the country and we could not be more excited to add Colorado as our seventh state,” said Jackpot.com CEO and co-founder, Akshay Khanna. “Last year, the Colorado Lottery reached $4 billion in proceeds and they give back millions of dollars each year to state parks, schools, and various projects. They’re also notably invested in responsible gaming, which has been a staple at Jackpot.com since its inception. We can’t wait to become part of the Colorado community and provide an accessible and reliable lottery experience for players.”

Not only will Colorado residents have access to their favorite state lottery games, they’ll also have access to Scratchers – the digital scratch ticket offering focused on expediting the convenience and the processing times of scratch-off games. Jackpot.com will launch with five of the most popular scratchers in Colorado, including $3,000,000 Supreme, Casino Ca$h Chips, $250,000 ORO, and more. Customers simply have to “scratch” their device screen with their finger or mouse to reveal their scanned ticket and potential winnings. Jackpot.com delivers the industry’s fastest online lottery scratch card experience after undergoing a comprehensive business process review by Gaming Laboratories International (GLI), which ensures its method for ordering and processing lottery scratch tickets is accurate and functions as expected for both Jackpot.com and the player.

This year marks the Colorado Lottery’s fourth consecutive year generating a new sales record, amassing over $900 million in revenue. This year’s success translates to more than $196 million in funds allocated to beneficiaries throughout the state. Since its first ticket sale in 1983, the Lottery has allocated over $4.2 billion to good causes across the state.

Jackpot.com has continued to raise the bar for responsible gaming through the integration of modern conveniences and safety guardrails, one of the key distinctive features of digital lottery platforms. The company has significantly invested in responsible gaming protections by allowing customers to set spend limits, setting default limits on daily deposits, providing access to local and national responsible gambling resources, self-exclusion, self-suspension and automated notifications that offer help should problematic behavior be detected. Jackpot.com is the only lottery courier service to launch with iCap certification from the National Council on Problem Gambling.

Jackpot.com – the online lottery courier service that allows consumers to order official state lottery tickets on their phone, tablet, or computer – announced today that a $2 million Powerball prize has been won in New York with a ticket ordered using the Jackpot.com website.

The winner is a longtime New York City resident. He served in the Army and had an illustrious career in the music business – both as a musician and as an executive. His ticket matched all five white balls, just missing the red Powerball for the $174 million drawing on August 5. The winner’s $2 million prize was actually a $1 million win that was doubled thanks to the Power Play^Ⓡ feature, which multiplies non-jackpot winnings when you add just $1 to your ticket. It was only after joining Jackpot.com that he discovered this game-changing feature. 

When he first heard about Jackpot.com about a year ago, the main point that caught his attention was how convenient it was to be able to get lottery tickets online – and he’s been a regular customer ever since.  He identifies himself as a spiritual person, and shared that the numbers he chose were inspired by Jewish scripture, where numbers often carry deep symbolic meaning. 

“We are thrilled to congratulate the winner on his incredible $2 million win—the biggest to date in New York through our platform! This monumental win not only highlights the excitement of the lottery but also the ease and convenience our service provides,” said Akshay Khanna, CEO and co-founder of Jackpot.com. “With just a few clicks, he was able to secure his ticket online, and today, he’s a millionaire. We’re proud to offer a seamless way for people to participate in these life-changing opportunities from the comfort of their own homes.”

Jackpot.com, which launched in the Empire State last August with investments from the New York Yankees and the Tisch family (co-owners of the New York Giants), allows New Yorkers to order tickets for Powerball, Mega Millions^Ⓡ, Numbers, Win4, Cash4Life, New York Lotto and Pick 10. The innovative and secure courier service purchases tickets on behalf of its customers from official state lottery retailers, displaying a scan of their ticket and transferring winnings of less than $600 in real-time to their account. For prizes of $600 or more, Jackpot.com securely sends the winning ticket to the lucky player so they can collect the winnings from the New York Lottery.
