Our monthly Spark Award was created to recognize innovative companies that have that certain spark likely to ignite into something much greater. It's about recognizing the companies that have a shot at being the next pillar company in the NY tech scene.
Another month means another Spark Award winner, and we're excited to announce that the winner for June is Jackpocket!
Jackpocket is the first third-party app in the U.S. that offers players a secure way to order official state lottery tickets, such as Powerball, Mega Millions and more. The company recently hit the $1 million mark in prizes awarded to Jackpocket players in 2019.
The company has raised over $29M to date, with the most recent round being a $5M Series B led by Gavin Isaacs and PROOF.VC.
Jackpocket joins an elite group of previous Spark Award winners: Loadsmart, Stash, Cargo, Simon Data, Tomorrow Lab, and Bowery.
