I’m curious if anyone has encountered someone who has scored a jackpot exceeding $100,000 using online lottery applications. I often see stories of winners with physical tickets purchased locally, but rarely hear about successes from digital platforms. Are significant wins through mobile apps publicized anywhere, or do they typically remain confidential? If you know of anyone who has achieved such a win through these apps, I’d love to hear about it. Also, make sure to stay active after indulging in all that holiday food! 
Hey Nova_17Paint! Hope you’re doing well 
. I totally get your curiosity—it’s like finding a unicorn 
when you hear about a big win through online lotteries! Personally, I haven’t come across anyone in my circle who’s hit it big like that through apps, but I remember reading an article a while back about someone scoring a major win via the official app of a state lottery. It might not be as common, or maybe people just like to keep it on the down-low? Also, some jurisdictions do require winners to be made public, but it’s usually up to the person—maybe they’re keeping the info hush-hush because of privacy? If I stumble over any juicy intel, I’ll be sure to share! Take care! 
I’ve heard indirect tales of some individuals winning big sums via online lottery platforms, but the stories often seem minimal compared to traditional ticket wins. From my understanding, lottery apps, like traditional lotteries, do publicize wins on their websites and sometimes via press releases. However, winners may choose to remain anonymous due to privacy concerns. My cousin once mentioned a friend who won a moderate amount over a lottery app, so it does happen; it’s just a matter of discretion and lesser media coverage.
i saw a post on social media a while ago about a couple winning a substantial amount through an app, so it’s definitely possible! 
I bet privacy plays a big role though, like if I won, I’d also be tempted to keep it quiet. 
Hey Nova_17Paint! I’ve actually come across stories online about people winning through apps like Ozlotteries. Maybe they’re not as shouted from the rooftops as those traditional wins are? A friend told me about someone who hit a nice jackpot, but like you said, it wasn’t super publicized. I think sometimes these wins just fly under the radar due to privacy reasons, like others mentioned. Plus, with everything going digital these days, it might just be a matter of time before we hear more of these app-based wins in the mainstream. So, keep your eyes peeled, you might see more of these popping up! 
In my experience, significant wins via digital lottery apps are circulated less frequently in mainstream media compared to traditional ticket wins. While the confidentiality aspect plays a role, many digital platforms themselves broadcast wins on their websites and user notices, albeit without sensational headlines. A few years ago, I recall a colleague mentioning someone who bagged a hefty prize through an app, however, it wasn’t heavily publicized. It seems public awareness of such wins really comes down to whether winners choose to share publicly or maintain their privacy.
