New to the app, Arkansas player wins $250M Powerball jackpot

An Arkansas player just won $250.8 million in Powerball. It was only their second ticket order on the Jackpocket app.

The winning numbers from Monday night's drawing were 2, 17, 18, 38, 62, and Powerball 20. The ticket was ordered through Jackpocket and fulfilled at Winners Corner, a licensed retailer at 6801 W. 12th St. in Little Rock.

A record-breaking win

The $250.8 million prize is the largest ever won from a ticket ordered through Jackpocket. It's also the second-largest lottery prize in Arkansas Lottery history, behind the $1.817 billion Powerball win from December 2025.

Pete Sullivan, SVP of Lottery at DraftKings, said the win was a milestone. In just a second order on the app, his customer had walked away with a life-changing jackpot, one that set a new record for the platform. He called it a reflection of the company's commitment to a secure, seamless lottery experience.

To date, Jackpocket customers across the country have won 80 prizes of $1 million or more.

Arkansas Scholarship Lottery celebrates, too

This win is bigger than one player. The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL) partners with Jackpocket to give players a convenient way to buy draw game tickets, either through the app or at a licensed retailer in person.

ASL Executive Director Sharon Strong noted this is the second Powerball jackpot the state has celebrated in just over two months. Beyond the prize itself, wins like this ripple outward. Lottery proceeds fund student scholarships across Arkansas, support retailers, and contribute to the state's broader economy.

Winners Corner, the retailer where the ticket was fulfilled, will receive a $50,000 commission. The state will withhold 3.9% of overall winnings for taxes.

The impact on app-based lottery players

Jackpocket operates in 17 jurisdictions. Players can use it to order tickets for Powerball, Mega Millions, and local state games directly from their phones.

This win makes one thing clear: you don't need to be a seasoned player to hit it big. Sometimes, your second try is all it takes.
