New Jersey launches mobile app-based lottery with Jackpocket

Jackpocket, a developer of a mobile lottery app, has launched in New Jersey, which is the first state to authorize lottery courier services for its official state lottery. 

The app allows users to place bets for several top games, including Mega Millions, Powerball, Cash4Life and the state's own Pick-6 lottery. 

"Jackpocket's mission is to make the lottery more accessible and convenient to play," Peter Sullivan, founder and CEO of Jackpocket, said in a company release. "We're proud to be the first lottery courier service in New Jersey, a state leading the way with innovative gaming."

Jackpocket offers several important features on the app, including daily spending and deposit limits, self-exclusion and access to resources for responsible gaming.
