Jackpot Groups

What is a Jackpot Group?

Jackpot Groups are an opportunity for Jackpot Rewards members to join forces to increase their chances of winning jackpots. If any one member of a Jackpot Group wins, the entire group splits the Jackpot equally. The more members, the more chances to win.

What are the benefits of inviting people to join my Jackpot Group?

It‘s simple: the more members in your Jackpot Group, the greater the chances that a member in your Jackpot Group will have winning numbers.

How is this invitation different than sending a Jackpot Rewards Refer-A-Friend email invitation?

Both options are ways for you to tell your friends about the great benefits of being a Jackpot Rewards member. With Refer-A-Friend, you are simply encouraging them to join Jackpot Rewards. With a Jackpot Group invitation, your friend will also have the option to be linked to your Jackpot Group when he or she joins as a Jackpot Rewards member.

Do Jackpot Groups & Charity Groups also apply to the weekly $1 Million drawings?

Yes. Each time a member of your group matches two or more numbers during a Monday, Wednesday or Friday drawing, then the whole group receives an entry into Sunday's $1 Million Jackpot drawing and the group will split the winnings equally if a member wins Sunday's $1 Million Jackpot.

How is a Jackpot split if someone in the Jackpot Group wins?

All Jackpot Group members in the winning group (with current active memberships) split the Jackpot winnings evenly.

Jackpot Charity Groups

What is a Jackpot Charity Group?

Jackpot Charity Groups work similarly to Jackpot Groups in that all the members group their numbers together to increase their chances of winning. However, with a Charity Group the selected charity receives 50% of the Jackpot, and the remaining 50% is split evenly among all Charity Group members for that group. Jackpot Rewards gives 50% of its after tax profits to our favorite charities. By creating Charity Groups we enable our members to do the same thing.

How is a Charity Group different from a Jackpot Group?

The two groups split Jackpot sweepstakes winnings differently. Unlike a regular Jackpot Group, a Charity Group designates 50% of the sweepstakes winnings to a charity, and the remaining 50% is split evenly among all the Charity Group members for that group.

Do I have to link to a Group or Charity Group to be entered into the sweepstakes?

No! Linking to a Group or Charity Group only increases your chances of winning. If you choose not to link your numbers to a Group or Charity Group, then the entire Jackpot is yours if you win.

How do I select a charity to support?

You can select a charity through our charity search function. Enter a keyword to generate a list of results. A keyword could be the name of the charity, its location, or its focus – e.g. The Red Cross, New York, or children. If you cannot find the name of your favorite charity, please go to the Jackpot Rewards Member Services to nominate that organization.

Where does the information about each charity come from?

All of the information about each charity is sourced from Guidestar.
