5. Anonymous player won $150,000 with Power Play

3. Anonymous Texan won $250,000
Non-Texas players should know that there are two ways to hit an All or Nothing jackpot. Match 12 out of 12 numbers to win $250,000. Or match 0 out of 12 numbers. Well, this lucky Jackpocket player in Dallas managed to match every 👏 single 👏 number 👏 with their Quick Pick ticket.
2. M.V. hit the $675,000 jackpot
M.V. in Houston chose a lucky time to place her Two Step order: 2:20 pm on 2/20/2020. On the dot. She almost didn’t believe us when we sent her a “YOU HIT THE JACKPOT” email. “At first, I thought my phone got a virus or something was wrong,” she says. “I carefully checked my ticket numbers and it was amazing to find all the numbers matching.”
1. Brandon won $1,000,000 as a college sophomore
The youngest player on our list is also our biggest winner. Brandon was a 20-year-old college sophomore when he won $1 million on Powerball using the app. At the time he said, “My mom always said money doesn’t mean everything, but extra money does help. Especially as a college student.”
Everything's Coming Up Sevens
In a nice little coincidence, Jackpocket's 7th birthday month also marks our launch in our SEVENTH STATE. We're looking at you, Oregon! More winners are on the way, and we just can't wait.
