Lottery app Jackpocket and the baseball team Boston Red Sox have announced a new multi-year partnership making Jackpocket the team's digital lottery courier partner. As the 2023 season continues, Jackpocket will be running multiple giveaways with some major prizes for Red Sox fans, such as home game tickets and VIP experiences like behind-the-scenes ballpark tours and opportunities to watch batting practice from the warning track. New users can enter the promo code 'SOX' at checkout to receive their first $2 lottery ticket for free.
"When you think of baseball, you think of the Boston Red Sox. We are thrilled to be the digital lottery courier partner to this historic organization and to provide Massachusetts fans a new, fun, and convenient way to play the lottery – right from their phones," said Jackpocket CEO Peter Sullivan. "That this partnership is coinciding with our launch in Massachusetts and the crowning of our first $100K ticket winners here in the state is a home run."
As the first digital lottery courier partner of the Boston Red Sox, Jackpocket will have in-game signage on the Truly Terrace LED ribbon, scoreboard LED branding, and a pregame commercial played before each of their home games at Fenway Park.
We're feeling lucky today to announce our partnership with the @RedSox! ⚾
