Jackpocket App User Wins Mega Million Prize Worth $112 Million
A Mega Millions winner has been proclaimed - an anonymous winner from Arizona ordered the ticket from the Jackpocket lottery app, and the winner matched all six numbers to take home the $112 million lottery prize. The win marks the biggest win ever to happen on a lottery courier app.
Just weeks into the new year, the Mega Millions lottery has given its first jackpot winner of 2025 a monumental $112 million prize. What makes this victory even more extraordinary is that the winning ticket was ordered through Jackpocket, which is America's leading lottery app, marking the largest jackpot ever won using such a platform.
The winning ticket, purchased in Arizona, matched all the six numbers from Mega Millions drawn on Friday: the white balls (8, 10, 37, 54, 69) and the gold Mega Ball, which is 22. This historic win shows the growing popularity of digital lottery platforms as a convenient way for players to participate in life-changing games.

"This is a transformative moment in lottery history, marking the largest jackpot ever won from a ticket ordered using a lottery courier service," stated Pete Sullivan, DraftKings' Senior Vice President of Lottery. "As more customers turn to apps like Jackpocket to order their lottery tickets, we are thrilled to be part of this groundbreaking moment."
The $112 million jackpot win is a testament to Jackpocket's prominence in the industry. To this date, users of the app have won an impressive 61 prizes amounting to $1 million or more, marking its reputation as a trusted leader in the lottery courier space.
Boosting Arizona's lottery legacy
The Arizona Lottery also celebrated this momentous occasion, as it highlighted the positive impact lottery sales have on state programs.
