"If we can make it a little easier for a working mom or somebody that's stuck at the office, we think it's really compelling," Sullivan said. It works like most gig-economy apps do. Players are able to load money into the app via credit or debit card and"order" their ticket. Someone will then venture to Circle K, purchase your ticket, and load it onto the app for you.
There is no surcharge that comes with winning a prize through Jackpocket. Instead, players will only be charged a convenience fee when placing an order.
