How does it feel to win millions of dollars on a lottery app? Honestly, we wanted to know too! So we chatted with our newest millionaire—the Jackpocket player who won the $2,150,000 Texas Two Step jackpot in March.

“Surprising, exciting. Loss for words. Unbelievable. My boyfriend told his mom first and then me. She didn’t believe us.”
Our player was born and raised in Houston where she works in retail. She and her boyfriend hit the Two Step jackpot less than 2 months after hearing about Jackpocket on the news and downloading the app. Their winning numbers? Random Quick Picks:
12 15 27 34 35
They don’t have too many plans for winnings yet. But a house and a car are first on the list.
So how big a deal is this?
Um, BIG. For context, the largest Two Step jackpot in history was $2.9 million back in 2006. So these winners are definitely on the leaderboard for top Two Step wins.
Fun fact: They are not the first Jackpocket players to hit the Two Step jackpot (although they do hold the record for BIGGEST prize win.) Another Houston resident hit the $675,000 Two Step jackpot back in February 2020 thanks to ordering her ticket at a very lucky time, 2:20 on 2/20/2020.
So if you aren’t playing Two Step yet, you might want to give it a go! Here’s everything you need to know to play Texas Two Step on Jackpocket.
