Melissa ordered her winning Powerball ticket on a steamy summer day. "I was hoping for some extra cash as my air conditioner went out. [When I won] my dad told me not to count on it until [the money] was in my hand... he was the first person I told when we were sitting in the backyard enjoying the summer's eve." Her first purchases as a lottery winner? "Definitely buying a new air conditioner, paying down some bills, and putting some money into savings."
"My favorite is NUMBERS. I was almost sure that the particular number was going to win that day. I was excited when I received the notification email about my win. I was at work when I ordered the ticket. The biggest convenience is WE ARE ABLE TO BUY TICKETS EVEN AT WORK. This is why I love ❤️ Jackpocket a lot."
"I took off running. I came out of my shoes and took off running. I couldn’t breathe. Even though I knew it had happened, I still looked online to make sure it was me that won. I thought it was a dream.”
"I was very excited to hear about Jackpocket in New Mexico! When I won I was in a state of disbelief, followed by excitement. I set up Autoplay for Mega Millions and Powerball because you can't win if you don't play, and those would be the games I want to win the most. I plan to use the winnings to pay off my college loans."
"It’s very easy to order the scratch tickets on Jackpocket. It came in a matter of days. It felt good to win!"
"I took my kids to SplashDown with my lottery winnings."
"Jackpocket has been my new way of [ordering] lottery tickets. No more anxiety waiting...to [get] tickets. Super easy and convenient using the Jackpocket app. This scratcher made me ask around if it was right with winning on every line/spin...Thanks for the convenience!"
"I was so surprised when I won. I was sitting at home and wanted to play my son’s birthday but didn’t want to go out. I remembered I can play on Jackpocket so I went for it. It definitely paid off!"
"So excited and surprised! I was at home working and the large jackpot made me decide to play!"
"I downloaded the Jackpocket app and play a dollar here and a dollar there, usually on Lucky for Life. I just happened to think, 'I’m just going to play this Powerball and see.' I didn’t even know what the jackpot was! I just thought, ‘I’m just going to put $6 down on Powerball and let it go.’" Get her story.
"Trying to decide to pay some on my mortgage, go debt free or...not really sure. It's a pretty big prize!"
"I won with the numbers 9170 based on my birthday September 17th. I was delighted to see the 'congratulations' confetti email!"
Lori usually plays Mega Millions but decided to try something different. This was the first time Lori had ever played Cash 5 and it just so happened that she hit it big!
