But this Mega Millions has turned everything else around," said Pete Sullivan, Jackpocket CEO. We have seen new players playing a little less. "The lottery is consistently a recession-proof kind of industry. The Jackpocket app that lets players buy tickets digitally says sales are climbing along with inflation. Jackpocket is a lottery messenger service, this means Jackpocket actually sends an employee from Jackpocket to the local store to purchase a lottery ticket for. Last night, $8.5 million in Mega Millions tickets," he said. "We typically sell $300,000 worth of Mega Millions tickets when the pots are low. However, he says Texas' new $100-a-ticket 20 Million Supreme scratch-off game, and the one billion dollar Mega Millions jackpot have overcome those odds. "They needed to put a little bit bigger percentage of that into their gas tank, because of high prices, and put a little less into other things they might buy at the store, including our product, lottery tickets," said Grief. Grief says scratch-off ticket sales declined in Texas as gas prices started to climb this year. We’ve been talking about "shrinkflation" for months, getting less for the same price or more because of inflation and businesses in Houston are struggling with it as well. ![]() How Houston businesses are dealing with ‘shrinkflation’
