Leave a Review Jackpocket Lottery App
Not as Sweet as Elitist Batman says.....
First of all the app works well with what permissions it holds states to states, maybe too well.
Some commentators on here are saying “I don’t see what others are saying”.....well If you have a problem with gambling, DO NOT JOIN. You are not on your own here, taking my own experience on here. I was spending too much so I just don’t go on the app, the app text messages you on a daily basis about impending jackpots you could be missing out on. There is a charge every time you replenish, if you are in the supermarket there’s no charge. For me I like Take 5, for a short time it was available to play, but now it’s not, so I don’t play, but the messages don’t stop. I’m going to turn off notifications and see where that takes me, then after if I decide just delete-The Who darn thing.
It was fun in the beginning but got too costly !Show lesshuggabilbear
Developer Response
Hi huggabilbear, the lottery has required courier services to make certain updates regarding Take 5. These updates will take some time to implement and we will make an announcement when Take 5 is once again available. Also, you can disable push notifications from Jackpocket by going to Settings > Notifications > Jackpocket on your device and toggling "Allow Notifications" to off. You can also unsubscribe from all marketing emails by tapping "Unsubscribe" at the bottom of the email. We are required to send certain transactional notifications such as an email receipt when you place an order, but please reach out to support@jackpocket.com if you need any help disabling push notifications and unsubscribing from marketing communications, we’re happy to help!Service Fee?
Hard to believe the Lottery Commission in America is struggling. The audacity to subject mobile players to a 9% service fee is in fact beyond disappointing.
I’ve five children and utilized eight different educational institutions within twenty five years. During that time the NY Lottery hasn’t purchased a pencil, eraser, computer or donated a penny to assist with our educational system (It’s been researched and confirmed). To continually read about amounts allegedly donated annually is comical. Moreover, labeled non profit as well avoiding taxes.
Let’s be honest, I enjoy playing weekly because people win and it’s fun to dream. I’ve been donating for decades and I’m unable to write that off...lol However, the political nonsense and lack of transparency is appalling. If I were lucky enough to win, I’d spend half of AFTER TAX winnings on ABC news documenting forensic accountants researching your alleged donations (public and political) and following the money trail...
Also, when will PB resume normal operations back to $40 million upon jackpot reset? The pandemic excuse slowing revenue is as bizarre as your public donations list.
In fact, why won’t you publicly release that list and help soothe our nation as we battle through turmoil. The Lottery Commission receives unbelievable amounts of public money daily. Be the group that leads by example and not one who charges 9% service fee for donating more money to you...food for thought🤔Show less21Flavors
million dollar app
i always wanted to play the lotto I mean if you don’t play you can’t win. having to make a special trip and stand i. a gas station line while the person in front of you scratched off their lotto tickets and cash les then back in for more scratch off in t he same 30 minute transaction and distraction. Nope not for me. so this app at a clock of your ert now i can win from my house, don’t have to worry about loading my lotto or forgetting to check my tickets the app keeps them on record and if you win they pay you . they also have POOLs off people all putting in one lotto ticket for the chance someone will hit and everybody splits the winnings. make that odds of walking away with some cash a real reality. LOVE JACKPOCKET!!!!Show lessCw peck
Tried with $20, already looks shady
Installed this app based on a friend suggestion. Convenient way to play for people who live far from a lottery convenience store. However I already have some complaints and now I am curious about my protection if the reward is quite large to remain honest.
You pick some numbers or let the app pick them for you. And somebody actually buys tickets on behalf of you. You can see a stamp on the “ticket photo” that says “ticket belongs to Your Name”. It doesn’t say “redeemable only by”. Also I don’t really know if the actual ticket has the stamp or the stamp was “photoshopped” after the ticket was scanned. What made me suspicious? I won $4 and it was on my account. So somebody was able to claim it on my behalf.
I had already $12 left from original funding and $4 from my winnings. I tried to withdraw my money after losing trust. It looks like the original money you sent from your account is not refundable. That is problem #2.
The I decided to get my $4 as a refund. Again another problem. Although I was able to fund my account using PayPal, I cannot get a refund via PayPal. It wants my bank account number. What if I don’t want to give my bank account to an app developer? Maybe I was misled because they made funding the app account very easy.Show lesschef_nyc
So simple So convenient
I saw an ad for Jackpocket and at first wondered if I’d be able to play in my state. Then found okay my state is included. But is it real and is it safe. I went did a bit of a search and found okay it’s real. Now came the play. I played my favorite games. I like to play the Daily Numbers game as well as Win 4. I played both lucky was with me. I got an email telling me I had won the Win 4. I had been scammed by other online games so I went to my states results and I had hit the Win 4 number. So I dashed to the site and there it was my winning. I transferred a portion to my account and expect it in 3-5 days. It was simple it was easy. And it was great. I got my payout first thing Wednesday morning. This is the best way to play my favorite NY State Lottery games. It’s AWESOMEShow lessAnjaliKaur
Awesome and convenient!!!
I really don’t understand some of these reviews people are leaving. I’ve been using this app maybe for a year or less now and have never had a problem with anything. Seems like most people don't understand on their own fault and not the app. It’s the easiest and user friendly app you could ever ask for. When it comes to ordering a lottery ticket and not having to get up and get in your vehicle drive all the way to the store, hope you have cash, or maybe make a trip to the atm/bank then go to the store, when all you have to do is open up your phone and select your tickets. People saying this app is sketchy are also ridiculous. Read the rules/regulation and privacy policy/terms of service and you would see everything and anything that is required for you to have an account and be able to order your tickets. This is so easy and great! I love sitting at home and ordering my tickets! Another thing people complaining about not winning. Where does it say you will win playing through this app..??? You have the same chances as going to the store and as most reviews say “wasting your money” as playing on Jackpocket. Keep up the great work Jackpocket team!!!Show lessELITIST BATMAN
Love it!
I’ve been playing the lottery for about 5 years now. I use to dump money into it. This app has made it a lot easier and safer to play. It allowed me to manage my spending to keep the lottery as more of a game for me rather than gambling. It also help me to narrow down the games I play. 9 times outta 10 I get little prizes back for cash 4 life. With mega and powerball about half the time I win something. Pick 6 is even worst. I never win anything. If I do it’s only $3. So now I only play cash 4 life. I only play powerball and mega when the jackpot is really high. My one complaint is Jersey cash 5 isn’t available yet. Please add this game!
UPDATE: THANK YOU! Cash 5 is now available! YAYYY! But now one more request. Can you please allow the selection of multiple tickets from the past tickets page. I just wasted $5 replaying the same ticket twice.(now if I win twice not a problem but still a waste regardless!)Show lessDivine_devon
Almost a millionaire
Working at the hospital in this pandemic times I’ve gotten so discourage to playing the lottery I like playing in person but there are lots of places that are closed or places are open and the lottery terminal is closed so weeks have passed by I haven’t thought about playing but one day on my way to work I remembered I have the jackpocket app on my phone and it was a Thursday and the draw game for that day was the pick 6 so I played $5 the machine picked the numbers then by 9 pm I received a text from jackpocket with a link “you won big on jackpocket please click link “ I didn’t believe it until I went to the app and saw I got 5 out of 6 numbers one more number I would of hit the jackpot $4.8 mill so they FedEx me my ticket with a claim form this a perfect alternative solution to keep playing and staying safeShow lesswumobb
Easy way to play lottery!
I am a very skeptical person so I was VERY skeptical about the legitimacy of this app. I read a few reviews and searched for independent news articles about this app. I confirmed it’s not a scam so I decided to try. I created an account and added $10 from my PayPal to start. I live in NJ so the games available to me were Mega Millions, Powerball, Pick 6, Cash 4 Life. There are other state games but I guess the app doesn’t allow other games? What I really liked is the “pools” option. You can play the Mega or Powerball with other users to increase your chance of winning. These pools have hundreds of people in them and I love this!
Conclusion: Not a scam, it’s legit as long as you are physically in the location they say you have to be in and are over 18. It’s an easy and convenient way to play lottery right from your own home.Show lessDmr531
Cha-Ching and Done!
I’ve enjoyed playing the games of Texas since Day 1, but every so often, I’d forget to stop on my way home from work to buy a ticket. I’d either regretfully put my shoes back on my feet, make my way to a retailer, and invariably wait in a long, slow moving line to secure my $1 opportunity for riches - or - I’d have to go without altogether; feeling like I’d missed my chance at winning “The Big One”. With Jackpocket, I’ve finally said “Goodbye!” to those last minute races to find a store! Jackpocket is simple to use and with it’s vast array of various, easy to understand (and use) options, it should have a shortcut icon on Everyone’s smartphone! I love having the peace of mind knowing that I just might become Texas’ next millionaire; and I can thank Jackpocket for allowing this feeling to be so easily attainable! (It also saves me money at the gas pump!)Show lessThe Big Daddy Jay
