His Quick Pick ticket for the December 13 drawing matched all five white balls drawn 3, 8, 41, 56, and 64, narrowly missing the red Powerball number 18. Joseph’s ticket had the Powerball number 17. Even so, his prize is a massive $1 million for matching five of the six winning numbers.
Joseph told the Jackpocket team that he first discovered the app in 2020 during the pandemic and has been using it for lottery tickets ever since.
“We’re so proud to celebrate this New Jersey Powerball winner,” said Jackpocket Founder and CEO Pete Sullivan. “Jackpocket was founded on the idea that the lottery should be accessible and convenient, and we are thrilled when we get to celebrate a major win like this one.”
Another lucky Jackpocket user, this time in Texas, won a $2 million Powerball prize in the same drawing.
Lottery players have now won over $390 million in prizes using Jackpocket, including a $5.75 million LOTTO prize in Arkansas in September and a record $9.4 million Pick-6 prize in New Jersey, representing the single largest legal-and-regulated win ever on a mobile device in the United States. Thirty-eight people have won prizes worth $1 million or more to date.
