The Texas Lottery and Texas Motor Speedway have joined together again to rev up luck for lottery players and racing fans through the new LUCKY 7s scratch ticket game. The new $5 game features chances to win a $100,000 top prize and integrates a series of promotional second-chance drawings. The drawings give players with non-winning tickets a chance to win exclusive Texas Motor Speedway prizes, including an Ultimate Driving Experience. Representatives from both organizations introduced the new game and discussed the prizes during a press conference on Sunday, March 24 in advance of the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.

“Texas Motor Speedway has been a valuable partner of the Texas Lottery since 2015 and we’re excited to collaborate with them on the new LUCKY 7s scratch ticket game and promotional second-chance drawings. In addition to the great cash prizes available in the game, LUCKY 7s offers opportunities to win unique Texas Motor Speedway merchandise prize packs and experiential prizes that cannot be obtained in any other way. We think Texas Lottery players and racing fans will love the excitement of our continued partnership and these exclusive prizes,” said Ryan Mindell, deputy executive director of the Texas Lottery.

The LUCKY 7s scratch ticket game launched on Monday, March 18 and is available at Texas Lottery retailers where scratch ticket games are sold. The game offers more than $23 million in total cash prizes, including six top prizes of $100,000. Overall odds of winning an instant-win cash prize are one in 4.11, including break-even prizes. Players may enter non-winning scratch tickets from the game into any of the four promotional second-chance drawings to be held throughout the run of the game for chances to win one-of-a-kind Texas Motor Speedway merchandise prize packs and experiential prizes.

“The nine-year collaboration between Texas Motor Speedway and the Texas Lottery is a testament to the power of partnership making a positive impact on the community while providing great entertainment to fans. The new Lucky 7 scratch ticket game is a fun and thrilling way to promote our decade of partnership to both Texas Motor Speedway race fans and Texas Lottery players,” said Texas Motor Speedway Executive Vice President & General Manager Mark Faber.

Jackpocket Unveils Super Pick, the Convenient Way to Try Mega Millions and Powerball Luck

Published

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.

Jackpocket’s 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.

“Super Pick is the latest in Jackpocket’s long list of features that you can’t 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. It’s been exciting to see the great interest in Super Pick already as the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots continue to rise toward historic levels,” 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 Jackpocket’s exclusive in-app giveaways for chances to win vacations, sports tickets, and VIP passes in addition to any lottery winnings.
  • Automatic Win Notifications: There’s 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 winner’s 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 Jackpocket’s 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.
