Jackpocket, a third-party lottery tickets app, was named as the exclusive sponsor of the ESPN New York sports app.

ESPN NY Welcomes Jackpocket

ESPN New York is a famous provider of New York sports news and content. Therefore, the partnership will help Jackpocket expand its footprint in the state. In addition, ESPN New York will provide Jackpocket with access to certain VIP events.

Furthermore, ESPN New York will leverage its presence in the state to promote Jackpocket to the local sports community. Famous sports personalities, including Rick Dipietro, Michael Kay and Peter Rosenberg will talk about Jackpocket and recommend it to sports and lottery enthusiasts.

Lastly, Jackpocket’s branding will be featured on ESPN New York’s app. A special Jackpocket button will allow fans to instantly download the famed lottery app.  

According to Jackpocket’s official announcement, this deal is the company’s largest sports broadcasting promotion after the deals with the New York Jets NFL franchise and the New York Mets MLB franchise.
