Bonus TL;DR
- Jackpot.com staff physically scratch purchased lottery tickets and upload scans within 20 minutes for players to reveal digitally.
- Available in Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, and Ohio, the courier credits wins under $600 directly and delivers larger winning tickets.
Somebody is going to scratch your Jackpot.com scratch-off before you do.
That’s the whole model. Online lottery courier Jackpot.com sells real, physical state lottery scratch tickets through its app and website. Then its own team scratches them and uploads a scan for you to reveal on your screen.
It’s worth knowing this weekend. The Powerball jackpot is an estimated $760 million, with a $326 million cash option, for Saturday’s 10:59 p.m. EDT drawing. Jackpot.com sells tickets for that drawing too.

How Jackpot.com scratch-offs work, step by step
Here’s the process, according to Jackpot.com:
- Browse the available scratch cards in the Jackpot.com app or on the website.
- Go through checkout. You have to be logged in or create an account.
- The Jackpot.com team scratches the real ticket on your behalf and uploads a scan to your account.
- You get a notification that your cards are ready to scratch.
- Open the scan in your account and scratch it on screen to reveal the numbers and see if it’s a winner.
In the app, the scan opens with a “Swipe to start scratching” prompt. There’s also a “Scratch for me” button, plus tabs to flip between the scratched scan, the back side, and the unscratched front.
So who actually scratched the ticket?
A Jackpot.com employee. Before you ever saw it.
That’s the part worth understanding. The result was printed on the ticket long before anybody touched it, and the team already scanned what’s under the latex. Your swipe is the reveal, not the result.
How fast are Jackpot.com scratch-offs?
The scratch-offs and upload take around 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the order, Jackpot.com said.
When the company launched digital scratchers in October 2024, it pointed to an Eilers & Krejcik Gaming report that put courier scratcher fulfillment at 30 to 90 minutes.
Which states have Jackpot.com scratch-offs?
Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, and Ohio, according to the Jackpot.com scratchers page.
That’s a different map than the one it launched with. Texas was one of the original three scratcher states, alongside Massachusetts and Ohio, until the Texas Lottery Commission voted in April 2025 to ban lottery couriers.
Players must be 18 or older, or 21 in Arizona. Jackpot.com charges a service fee, which its site said is shown before a purchase is completed.
How Jackpot.com pays scratch-off prizes
A win under $600 means 100% of the prize is delivered immediately into your Jackpot.com account, the company said.
A win of $600 or more means Jackpot.com securely delivers the physical ticket to you. You then collect 100% of the prize from your state lottery.
Somebody else does the scratching. The win, or the loss, is still all yours.
