First 'digital lottery courier' service arrives in Idaho
Jackpocket is the first lottery courier service launched in Idaho. It's been available for a decade and has expanded into 14 states. The company takes a 9% cut of all the sales made on the app. Since 2013, Jackpocket has couriered tickets for more than $200 million in winnings. Investors in the company include Kevin Hart and Mark Cuban. The CEO wants to expand to other games in future. Some Republicans inIdaho have spoken out against gaming. They tried to end the Powerball game in state last year. In the end, the issue was not successful.
