‘Bringing the fun’

The company expressed its excitement about launching in New Jersey, one of the largest lottery markets in the United States. Last year, total sales hit $3.72 billion.

“We’re thrilled to announce Jackpot.com’s New Jersey launch, the sixth state that will feature our unique service,” said Jackpot.com CEO and co-founder Akshay Khanna. “We are excited to help New Jerseyans play the lottery online with increased convenience, security, and safety.”

Next 3 founder and CEO Carolyn Tisch Blodgett spoke about seeing how successful New York’s Jackpot.com launch was last summer.

“And we knew we wanted to be a part of bringing the fun and accessibility of online lottery to New Jersey,” she said. “We are happy to be a part of Jackpot.com’s continued growth in the tri-state area, investing in an intuitive, easy-to-use method that is sure to be enjoyed by New Jersey consumers.”

“At Jackpot.com, we’re always looking to enhance the player experience through increased accessibility and a more convenient and secure environment for players to purchase ticket, while also ensuring player never lose a winning ticket ever again,” Khanna added.
