A Jackpocket player just won the $250.8 million Powerball jackpot, making it the largest jackpot ever won on the app.
Not only is it record-breaking… it’s more than double the previous biggest win on Jackpocket.
This is a milestone moment for us and for digital lottery players everywhere.
One winner. Two times the charm.
Here’s what makes this story even wilder:
The winner is from Arkansas and this was only their second time ever using Jackpocket to order lottery tickets.
Second. Time.
They ordered their Powerball ticket on the app, and just like that, they’re holding a $250.8 million jackpot-winning ticket.
It’s proof that you never know when, or where, luck is going to hit.
The lucky winner matched all winning numbers during Monday night’s Powerball drawing – 2, 17, 18, 38, 62 – plus the Powerball® (20).
“We’re thrilled for our customer in Arkansas and amazed that just their second order placed with Jackpocket resulted in a life-changing $250.8 million jackpot — setting a new Jackpocket record,” said Pete Sullivan, SVP, Lottery at DraftKings. “This historic win underscores our commitment to delivering a best-in-class, secure, and seamless lottery experience for our customers.”
“The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery is proud to celebrate this $250.8 million win alongside our retail partner, Jackpocket,” said Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Executive Director Sharon Strong.
“Through our collaboration, we have been able to provide Arkansans with more convenient ways to play lottery games, now leading to this historic moment. We look forward to celebrating even more wins, both big and small, as we raise proceeds to benefit our students and our state.”
