(New York).- On Tuesday, in New York, residents were officially allowed to buy their lottery tickets online in the comfort of their homes, rather than travel to a local gas station or convenience store.
The online platform allows New Yorkers to order tickets for Powerball, Mega Millions, Cash4ife, New York Lotto and Pick 10.
Residents can present their tickets to be scanned on their phones or tablets and, if they win, can transfer winnings up to $600 to their linked banking accounts. If the award is more than $600, the company sends the winning ticket to players so they can collect the winnings directly from the New York Lottery.
Jackpot.com CEO and co-Founder Akshay Khanna said they were excited to expand to New York, one of the biggest lottery states in the country. The company also operates in Texas and Ohio.
“New York is such a special opportunity and such an icon state,” Khanna said, adding he has family here. “The opportunity is huge and from all the market research that we’ve done and all the customer conversations that we’ve had, there is a sizeable amount of demand for this product.”
The venture is backed by owners of the New York Yankees and New York Giants. The announcement comes while major casino companies are competing to build up to three casinos in the New York City area.
Voters in 2013 approved a constitutional amendment to expand casino gambling throughout the state and authorized up to seven full-scale casinos. Four casino licenses were awarded in upstate, including Rivers Casino & Resort in Schenectady. The state also recently legalized mobile sports betting.
In January, Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office announced on the one-year anniversary of the state allowing mobile sports betting that more than $700 million in taxes were collected on the more than $16 billion wagered.
Khanna said they went through an incredibly rigorous and demanding application process with the New York Lottery and the state Gaming Commission.
He said their site also will notice patterns of behavior that can be signs of problem gambling. It also allows people to put themselves in timeouts, which allows players to temporarily suspend certain transactions on their accounts. Some mobile sports betting sites have similar rules and safeguards.
Khanna said he hopes the platform will bring in younger and new crowds to participate in the state Lottery.
