Jackpocket App Taps “Quiz Daddy” Scott Rogowsky for New Live Game

Jackpocket, America’s #1 lottery app, is teaming up with comedian and television personality Scott Rogowsky on the company’s first live game. Known for being the original and wildly popular host of HQ Trivia, Rogowsky will serve as host and executive producer for Jackpocket Live, a brand new entertainment experience launching later this year on the Jackpocket app.
Hosted live by Rogowsky along with a variety of other celebrities, Jackpocket Live will give users chances to win real money every single day. As executive producer, Rogowsky will lend his expertise and directional guidance honed from entertaining millions of HQ Trivia users, as well as from his years in the industry to Jackpocket Live’s creative and production process.
“Get ready for the greatest thing to hit your phone since, well, Jackpocket. I’m so excited to be part of Jackpocket’s expansion into live streaming content and for folks to try the new game when it hits the app this year. We’re gonna have some fun, win some cash, and feel good doing it,” said Scott Rogowsky.
Just as state lotteries give back to important state causes, Jackpocket Live will benefit local and national charities.
“We’re so pleased to welcome Scott to Team Jackpocket as we continue to trailblaze in this industry while delivering the very best lottery and gaming experience around. Already beloved by the millions of people who tuned into HQ Trivia, Scott will bring his quick wit, charisma, and improvisational chops to this brand new game on Jackpocket that lottery fans will love. Jackpocket Live is the first of many product expansions we’re excited to bring our users this year. There’s a lot more fun to come,” said Peter Sullivan, CEO and co-founder of Jackpocket.
Production for Jackpocket Live will be based out of the company’s second headquarters in Santa Barbara.

BOYD GAMING TO SELL FANDUEL INTEREST FOR $1.755 BILLION

All-Cash Transaction Unlocks Significant, Unrealized Value for Boyd Shareholders
Boyd, FanDuel Extend Market-Access Agreements through 2038
Boyd Gaming Corporation announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Company’s 5% equity interest in FanDuel Group to Flutter Entertainment plc for cash consideration of $1.755 billion.
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals. The Company intends to use net proceeds to reduce debt.
Keith Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boyd, said: “This transaction unlocks the tremendous unrealized value that our investment in FanDuel has created for our Company. As a result, we are in a significantly stronger financial position to continue executing our strategy of investing in our properties, pursuing growth opportunities, returning capital to our shareholders, and maintaining a strong balance sheet.”
In addition to purchasing Boyd’s equity interest in FanDuel, Boyd and FanDuel will terminate certain existing market-access agreements between the parties and enter into new agreements to provide, among other things, for an extended term through 2038. The agreements will also provide Boyd with a fixed fee per state from FanDuel’s mobile sports-betting operations in Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana and Pennsylvania, as well as FanDuel’s online casino operations in Pennsylvania, upon the close of this transaction. FanDuel will also continue to operate Boyd’s retail sportsbooks outside of Nevada through mid-2026, after which time Boyd will assume responsibility for these operations.
Under terms of the revised market-access agreements with FanDuel, the Company now expects its Online segment will generate $50 million to $55 million in operating income and Adjusted EBITDAR for the full year 2025, and approximately $30 million in 2026.
Smith added: “The partnership between Boyd and FanDuel has been a remarkable success for both companies. FanDuel has emerged as the nation’s clear leader in online sports-betting, while Boyd has been able to leverage this partnership to profitably participate in the rapid growth of sports betting across the country. It has been a privilege to work with the Flutter and FanDuel teams, and we look forward to supporting FanDuel’s continued growth and success through our market-access agreements across the country.”
Moelis & Company LLC served as exclusive financial advisor to Boyd Gaming on the transaction. Morrison & Foerster LLP served as legal advisor to Boyd Gaming on the transaction, with Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP advising on the commercial agreements.
