Leave a Review Jackpocket Lottery App
Good app, easy to use
I’ve used the app for a few years on and off. Had to cash out two years ago the process was very simple, check in hand less than two weeks later. Much easier than other state lottery apps cash out process which seems like a burden to get money out even though it’s simple to put in. Only downside is you are paying a fee to play because NJ does not have their own app to purchase. Although the fee as a percentage of the total you’re depositing goes down as you increase the size of the deposit. ($1=38%, $10=12%, $25=10%, $50=9.6%, $100=9.3%)
It would be nice if pools were allowed in my state, quite sure that’s an issue with my state not with the app.
All in all it’s a pretty good way to purchase lottery tickets from the comfort of your home or anywhere you happen to be (within the state).Show lessLuke0284747281010374
All good here
I mean. It’s easy and convenient and I see zero downside. Sure there is a small fee. But of course. Someone has to do all the work. I think it’s amazing. I’m scared to see what could happen if someone hits it really big on it and getting that physical ticket from the vendor. It’s bound to happen and I hope everyone does the right thing and legal. For me. I’ll never buy a lotto ticket in a store again. I hope this also doesn’t hurt the local vendors too much. I feel like lotto was just a local conduit to getting a soda or a coffee or some snack and they all lose out on that residual and I think that is a downside. I appreciate small business but I also really enjoy convenience and getting a chance to play. Conflicted.Show lessDavid cohen.
JackPocket
Love Love Love this app and everything about it. I don’t have to go outside and rush to the store just to play the lottery. This app is very convenient for me and I get to choose my numbers or let quick pick choose it for me. So far I won $12 just for playing a quick pick Powerball and then I used it to play my regular numbers which is the 3 number lotto instead of me cashing out the money. Hopefully I’ll win again but I’m grateful just for winning $12 for the first time using this app. I’m urging you to use JackPocket because it doesn’t disappoint. Another thing is that I get to play any games that I want whether it be Lotto, Powerball, Take Five, Win 4, etc. It gives you the chance to play and the quick pick feature to me is the best. You also get to play as many times as you want when picking out your numbers but I do think that theirs a limit on how much you play. JackPocket also sends you a notification for when your numbers are ready and it even lets you know how much you won. It’s a win or lose situation but that’s what the lottery is all about. Also, You get to cash out your money if you win and it’s not like you have to leave the money in the app so it does give you an option that’s what I love about this app. Good luck playing but just remember that the lottery or it’s app is not for everybody. Too each it’s own.Show lessTrini Gamers 2000
This is trash..just stick to going to the store
I got this app because I thought it would be easy to play a few games on the go. Everything was fine I got my ticket and was waiting for the NY lottlo drawing to come in….somehow I couldn’t get my barcode due to it being watermarked. I went to contact the support to see if they can help me remove the watermark on my ticket to see if I won right? Even tho the app will tell you if you win I feel like you should still be given your ticket WITH a barcode win or no win just so you can go check for yourself….I had 5 numbers and bonus somehow still didn’t win????!?went talking to the support they didn’t help at all won’t remove the watermark and stopped responding all together even when I had more to ask. This is a waste of time and money. Again if you want to play just go down and spend your money in the store to have your ticket handy for self check. If I could give it no stars I would….Show lessD34Dhaze
Works for me!
It appears in a couple reviews that people don’t read the fine print…. My experience is as good as it can get even without winning just yet! App is very smooth and easy to work with and while I’m a very infrequent player, now I can easily get in on the huge jackpots.
Ohio has both biggies, mega and Powerball, so this is great. Top that off with all the other games Ohio Lottery has and I have a wide choice of options!
So read the fine print, check the promo details so you claim them directly AND correctly, don’t miss out on one! And for security, I know OH Lottery wouldn’t let them do this if it was flaky, not to mention it seems like I get a breach notice a week from a new store or service. Be smart, use Debit cards and bank/card account where you only have what you spend in it and protect yourself with your own common sense.Show lessPSCGOhio
So easy to use!
I used to play the lottery all the time but stopped when I changed jobs and there wasn’t a convenience store close by. I heard about Jackpocket but didn’t check it out for quite a while. One I did, I was hooked. It’s so easy and so convenient. I can buy tickets at 3 in the morning or in a meeting or in the bathtub. I also love that it has multiple options for playing. I didn’t usually play Mega Millions or my local lottos but now I do on occasion. I haven’t joined any teams but every time I see it, I think about joining. The only thing I don’t like is the amount they charge to find the account. I know they need to charge for that but it seems a little excessive. Other than that, I love it!Show lesstaylrmom
Win Win
I’ve played the lottery for years, but I will tell you, I’ve won more in 2 months playing JACKPOCKET, than I’ve cumulatively won the last 10 years. Not to mention the convenience of opening my IPad verses having to drive to the store, getting the play card, or quick picks, waiting in line…etc. The automatic feature assures that you won’t forget a game or get to the store 2 minutes too late. Let’s not forget all the trees I’ve saved as well, and how many times have we lost or tossed a winning number? Definitely recommend this app if you like to play the lottery!

Great app and functionality, big waste of money
The app itself works great. I really can’t think of anything wrong with it other then the fact that I never win anything. (Sometimes it feels rigged) I’ve had this app for a long time, I play probably weekly, but I’m deciding to limit my use on it (which you can do in the app!) to maybe once a month. It can get really addicting to feed the fantasy these kind of things advertise. Just be aware of how you use this app and don’t let yourself get caught up in how nice and swift everything works. Great app and support team, really dangerous for addictive personalities. Just putting that disclaimer out there because sometimes we need that little reminder. 😊 ToodlesShow lessEveyezzz
Great app
Updated 3/20: Have to correct my previous review from earlier (see below). App wasn’t broken—turns out the wifi I was using the app on was blocking gambling sites, so this app got caught up in that net. Resolved that issue and app works great. Really like it.
My one issue: I find that the notifications can become a nuisance (as with all apps), but since gambling can become a problem, wonder how healthy it is to be prodded with what seems like daily notifications about trying to win. Would be nice to see options for notifications so they can be tailored. Otherwise I suppose it is best to just turn them off.

Previous review: Enjoyed this app for a few weeks. As of last week, app doesn’t work. Every time I try to open it I get an error message that something went wrong. Restarting phone and closing other apps doesn’t fix the problem. Hope they fix it soon.Show lessDoesch

Hi Doesch, please reach out to support@jackpocket.com so we can look further into this for you. We're happy to help!Quick Pick feature stinks
The app is convenient for when you don’t have time to go out and buy tickets but their number generation for quick pick is horrible. I’ve used it several times and I’m constantly getting a massive amount of duplicate numbers. With such a huge pool of random numbers it’s absolutely ridiculous when some numbers appear on 4 out of 10 tickets. Convenient but you’re WAY better off choosing your own numbers if you want something random. Edit: Related to the developer response. I never stated the QP feature wasn’t compliant, I stated it’s terrible considering the massive amount of repeat numbers I receive. There are 11,238,513 5 digit combinations using 1-69. Seeing the same number across multiple tickets is highly unlikely. Thanks for your defensive response in relation to your compliant random number generator. Edit 2: used app again on 1/8/22 to buy mega millions tickets for next drawing. 5 tickets. 4 sets of repeating numbers. Definitely avoiding quick pick going forward. Edit 3: my review has been deleted as of 1/9/22. I’ll just keep reposting it.Show lessMrAntonioP

Hi MrAntonioP, when ordering a quick pick ticket though Jackpocket, the numbers are picked using our random number generator. Our random number generator has been approved via an independent audit by a best in class third party who also audits some of the largest casino and gaming operators in the world. It is also compliant with state regulations for lottery courier services. Keep in mind that random does not guarantee that all numbers are unique. If you contact support@jackpocket.com we will be happy to look into this for you.
