Jackpot.com expands into Arkansas

San Francisco-headquartered online lottery reseller Jackpot.com has gone live in Arkansas, its fifth US market launch.

The launch allows customers in the state to securely buy official state lottery tickets and collect winnings directly from their phone, desktop or tablet.

Jackpot.com will initially offer Powerball, Mega Millions, LOTTO, Natural State Jackpot, and Lucky for Life tickets, with more games to be included in the near future.

Arkansas marks Jackpot.com's fifth market launch in a little over a year, after going live in Texas, Ohio, New York and Massachusetts.

“We're thrilled to announce Jackpot.com's launch in the Natural State," said Jackpot.com CEO and co-founder Akshay Khanna. “Jackpot.com is happy to help Arkansas lottery players order official state lottery tickets online with increased safety, security and convenience.

“At Jackpot.com, we're always striving to increase accessibility and elevate the player experience by making it more convenient and secure for players to order lottery tickets, ensuring players don't lose a winning ticket.”

Arkansas Scholarship Lottery executive director Eric Hagler commented: “We're excited to welcome Jackpot.com, our third courier in the state to Arkansas. They will be operating through their retail location, Lucky Choice, in Little Rock.

“These couriers make playing lottery for our players more convenient. Our players enjoy options and Jackpot.com gives them another avenue for playing our games.”
