With over 300 million possible number combinations to choose from for Mega Millions, Jackpocket is making it simpler to try the luck. Jackpocket announced the release of Super Pick, a new app feature that streamlines the lottery experience for Mega Millions and Powerball fans, offering an even more convenient way to participate as combined jackpots soar past $1.3 billion.
Jackpocketâs new Super Pick feature gives users an easy way to pick every special and standard ball in the game with just one tap. Super Pick creates a series of 25 or 26 Quick Picks for each of the special ball numbers and also includes all the standard numbers in the game at least once. This hassle-free way to cover numbers could unlock big winning potential for users. Matching just the Powerball or Mega Ball on its own secures a prize of $4 or $2 respectively and is a necessary step for winning six out of nine prize levels including the grand prize.
For example, the Mega Millions drawing includes five standard numbers (1 to 70) and one gold Mega Ball (1 to 25). With Super Pick, users can easily order 25 Quick Picks that will include every standard Mega Millions number as well as a unique gold Mega Ball.
âSuper Pick is the latest in Jackpocketâs long list of features that you canât get anywhere else. Based on direct feedback from our users, we developed this feature to streamline the way they are participating in the lottery and make it the most convenient process possible. Itâs been exciting to see the great interest in Super Pick already as the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots continue to rise toward historic levels,â Peter Sullivan, CEO and founder of Jackpocket, said.
Already, Jackpocket users have won nearly $1 million in prizes from Super Pick orders, including a $150,000 Powerball win in Texas and a $50,000 Powerball win in New Jersey.
With the introduction of Super Pick, Jackpocket reinforces its commitment to elevating the lottery user experience. In addition to Super Pick, Jackpocket also offers lottery enthusiasts access to multiple exciting features:
- Smart Order: Lottery fans can set automatic orders for their favorite games so they never miss a drawing.
- Lottery Pools: With Jackpocket Pools, participants can team up with other Jackpocket users in their state or create their own private pool with just local friends, family, or co-workers.
- Giveaways: Users can enter Jackpocketâs exclusive in-app giveaways for chances to win vacations, sports tickets, and VIP passes in addition to any lottery winnings.
- Automatic Win Notifications: Thereâs no need to remember to check winning lottery numbers, as Jackpocket users are automatically notified if they win at any prize level with prizes under ~$600 instantly credited to the winnerâs account.
- Responsible Gaming: To ensure player safety, Jackpocket offers consumer protections such as daily deposit and spend limits, self-exclusion, and in-app access to responsible gaming resources.
The release of Super Pick comes on the heels of Jackpocketâs continued remarkable growth, most notably with the recent launch of Jackpocket Casino. Jackpocket has fulfilled over $1 billion in lottery ticket orders since its launch, and users have now won over $430 million in lottery prizes while using the app.

The Michigan Lottery announced that it will transition to the National Problem Gambling Helpline, 1-800-GAMBLER for responsible gaming support. This aligns the agency with the Michigan Gaming Control Board and other online gaming platforms operating in Michigan in promoting 1-800-GAMBLER. The 1-800-GAMBLER helpline will replace the Michigan Problem Gambling Helpline currently in circulation (1-800-270-7117), although the previous number will remain in operation.
âThe Lottery is committed to providing Michiganders with easy access to resources that support responsible gaming. By transitioning to 1-800-GAMBLER, we are able to ensure that Michigan residents can reach specially trained staff who can provide confidential professional support, local referrals, and resources to those who may have a gambling problem,â said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli.
Operated by the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), 1-800-GAMBLER is the worldâs largest problem gambling helpline network by call volume, population served, and geographic area covered. The helpline connects people and families impacted by problem gambling with professional support, local referrals, and resources.
Calls made to 1-800-GAMBLER from Michigan will be routed to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The helpline can also be reached by texting 800GAM or chatting online at 1800gamblerchat.org. Trained contact center staff are available 24/7, 365 days a year to provide support, guidance, and relevant information to anyone seeking help related to problem gambling. Additionally, players or their family members may connect to support resources such as live chat, text, and the helpline number by selecting the links in the footer of the Lotteryâs website.
The Michigan Lottery was the first lottery in the US to achieve the Internet Responsible Gambling Compliance Assessment Program certification through NCPG in October 2015. The NCPG evaluated the Lotteryâs compliance with Internet Responsible Gaming (IRG) standards developed based on best practices from jurisdictions around the world. IRG standards are the highest standards for online responsible gaming in the nation.
