Union County Woman Wins $9.4M in Largest Digital Gambling Win

UNION COUNTY, NJ — A Union County woman won $9.4 million on a lottery game she played on the app "Jackpocket."

The woman, named Carol works in the healthcare field. She's shared that this big win hasn't set in for her yet, mentioning it feels like she's "living in a dream." She's been using Jackpocket to play the lottery for over a year, usually playing Pick 6 and Jersey Cash 5 because she felt like she had the best chances to win with those games - but she never thought she actually would. Her winning numbers were picked randomly.

In New Jersey specifically, there have been over $26M in winnings since Jackpocket's launch with more than 120,000 winners.

Based on historical data and discussions with market research and consulting firm Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, Jackpocket believes this $9.4 million New Jersey Pick 6 Lotto prize won through the Jackpocket app, represents the single largest legal-and-regulated win ever on a mobile device in the United States.

"This win not only allows us to reflect on the industry's immense growth in New Jersey, but also across the U.S. The Jackpocket team is invigorated by this historic moment in our mission to create a more convenient, fun, and responsible way to play the lottery," said Peter Sullivan, CEO and Founder of Jackpocket in a statement.
