Calling all New Yorkers, your next fortune cookie could potentially be worth millions

NEW YORK, Aug. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Jackpot.com, the online platform that allows lottery players to securely order official state lottery tickets from their mobile phone, tablet, or desktop has partnered with OpenFortune Media, one of the fastest-growing media companies known for its integration of advertising into fortune cookies.

As part of the collaboration, hundreds of thousands of specially branded cookies will be distributed across restaurants and within delivery bags throughout the New York area, giving users the chance to win big.

"People put an immense amount of trust in their fortune cookies when playing the lottery, and they've won hundreds of millions because of those lucky numbers. Our partnership allows us to tap into this tradition while giving people tangible opportunities to win real money that could change their lives forever," said Matt Williams, OpenFortune's co-founder and Chief Cookie Officer. "We are truly thrilled to be a part of Jackpot.com's impressive marketing strategy, and join the likes of their large-scale partners, like the New York Yankees."

Jackpot.com allows New Yorkers to order tickets for Powerball, Mega Millions, Cash4Life, New York Lotto, and Pick 10.
