Texas lottery players will be able to have scratch tickets mailed directly to their doors via a new scratch-off feature launched this week on the Jackpocket lottery app. Jackpocket is the first third-party app in the United States that offers an easy, secure way to order official state lottery tickets.
Jackpocket’s scratch-off feature makes its public debut alongside the hotly anticipated start of the 2020 NFL season. Fans can get in the game with a football-themed variety pack of five Cowboys and five Houston Texans scratch tickets.
Both Texas Lottery games offer top prizes of $100,000 and promotional second-chance prizes, such as season tickets, autographed jerseys, and VIP experiences. Jackpocket swaps in new scratch ticket variety packs on the app frequently.
Founder and CEO Peter Sullivan stated: “We handpick the newest and most popular Texas Lottery scratch games to offer on the app, and we know our players are looking forward to football season. Our scratch ticket feature is another way Jackpocket makes playing the lottery more fun and convenient.”
Jackpocket, which launched its app in Texas in June 2019, provides Texans a new way to play the lottery, while benefiting state lottery funds. Players can place orders for well-known jackpot games, including Powerball, Mega Millions, Lotto Texas, Texas Two Step, All or Nothing, Pick 3, Daily 4, and Cash 5, and view digital scans of their tickets right on their phone.
According to the firm, Texas players have won over $7.5m in lottery prizes using the app, including a $675,000 Texas Two Step jackpot won by a Houston woman in February 2020.
