Don’t worry, Jackpocket is totally official and legit — every transaction is safe and secure. You even receive a digital copy of your ticket that’s tied exclusively to you. And, if (better yet, when) you win, you receive 100% of the winnings.
And players still have the option of picking their favorite numbers or using Quick Pick for a set of randomly selected numbers.
The program is only available via the Jackpocket app. You simply add funds to your account and you’re ready to play and (hopefully) win big!
Note: There is a small service fee, when you add funds to your account. However, think of the gas and time you’ll save by not having to go to the store to buy tickets.
Here’s how it works:
STEP 1 – Pick your game and numbers
Choose your lucky numbers or use the Quick Pick option. How you play is up to you.
STEP 2 – Place your order
Jackpocket buys your ticket for you from an official lottery retailer.
STEP 3 – See your ticket
Jackpocket sends a scan of your ticket to the app, which establishes you as the sole and rightful owner. Your paper ticket is safely stored in a fireproof safe.
STEP 4 – Collect 100% of your winnings
Winnings under $600 go straight to your Jackpocket account. (You simply withdraw the funds into one of your financial accounts.)
When you win big (more than $600), Jackpocket arranges to securely deliver the winning ticket to you for redemption at a Colorado Lottery office.

If you’re feeling lucky, use this link for a $2 credit to use on your first Colorado Lotto+, Mega Millions or Powerball ticket. Note: Please be patient, the app may be experiencing a high volume of players.
Good luck, friends!
Too bad if you signed up before you claim the $2. I tried and it said “number already belongs to a user”. So it won’t let me claim the gift. Wish I’d known that sooner.
Installed the app and after selecting state of CO, got a message stating CO doesn’t allow people to buy tickets via the app.
Amanda – Please double-check. Jackpocket has partnered with the Colorado Lottery, so the app does indeed work in CO. Good luck! -BKC
John – The offer is only valid for new Jackpocket users. If you’re already have an account, you will not be able to take advantage of the offer. -BKC
