The Associated Press taps Jackpot.com as official lottery partner
Operator to serve as dedicated lottery courier and results provider for the news agency as US expansion continues
Jackpot.com has been named as the official lottery partner of the Associated Press (AP).
Under the terms of the deal, Jackpot.com will show several state lottery results to all AP customers on APNews.com via a dedicated lottery results feed.
Additionally, AP users will be able to purchase lottery tickets through AP websites in places where such services are available.
Jackpot.com has continued its expansion in the first half of 2024, launching in Massachusetts in January, Arkansas in March, and New Jersey in May.
The firm is now live in six US states, as well as being an associate member of the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries (NASPL).
Akshay Khanna, CEO and co-founder of Jackpot.com, said: “Working with the Associated Press as their official lottery courier and provider of state lottery results marks a pivotal moment for us at Jackpot.com.
“This collaboration not only helps provider readers with the latest lottery drawing results, but enables them to seamlessly and responsibly purchase lottery tickets online.
“Through AP’s extensive reach, we’re not just selling tickets; we’re transforming the landscape of lottery gaming,” he added.
Barry Bedlan, AP global products director for text, data and new markets, said: “We look forward to working with Jackpot.com to provide the latest lottery results to our customers as well as the audience on APNews.com.”
