“I was sitting on my couch recovering from gallbladder removal surgery. I had $4 left on my Jackpocket app…”
“I got a text message at 11:15 or 11:30 at night. When I opened it up, it said, ‘Congrats. You're a big winner!’
"I automatically forgot that I just had surgery. I hurt myself trying to get up from the couch…”
When Nataly asked her mom how much she won, her mom answered, "Over $6,000."
“I did a spin and I fell to the floor. I was speechless.”
Nataly’s Jackpocket win couldn’t have come at a better time, too.
“That was a miracle from God and the Universe. I am so happy that I won that money. It was two days before my 31st birthday, so what a great birthday gift.”
