Georgia has joined a multi-state eInstant progressive jackpot for the first time, becoming the fifth U.S. lottery to participate in Instant Win Gaming’s (IWG) Mega Money Jackpots. The Georgia Lottery Corporation joins existing members Kentucky, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Virginia in contributing to the prize pool.
In parallel, the Pennsylvania Lottery has expanded its engagement with IWG’s multi-state framework by launching a second eInstant progressive title, Super Drop Jackpots. Pennsylvania is now part of a separate jackpot network with North Carolina and Virginia, with Kentucky expected to join later this year.
These developments reflect the continued expansion of multi-state eInstant jackpots across U.S. regulated lottery markets. IWG’s model enables participating lotteries to allocate a portion of eInstant game sales to shared progressive prize pools, coordinated by the supplier through a turnkey settlement process. Both Mega Money Jackpots and Super Drop Jackpots are supported by IWG’s InstantJackpots technology, integrated via the company’s InstantRGS remote game server, requiring no additional development from platform providers.
Since launch, IWG’s multi-state eInstant games have generated 24 jackpot payouts totaling over $60 million, including 19 prizes of $1 million or more. The largest recorded eInstant jackpot to date was a $6.7 million win by a North Carolina player in April.
The ongoing adoption of these shared-jackpot formats underscores a shift toward collaborative models in the U.S. ilottery sector, with a focus on increasing engagement through high-value prize opportunities.
“It’s incredibly exciting to see both of our multi-state eInstant jackpots continue to grow in participation,” said Rhydian Fisher, CEO at Instant Win Gaming. “With Georgia joining Mega Money Jackpots and Pennsylvania now live with Super Drop Jackpots, we’re seeing strong momentum in how U.S. lotteries are embracing these progressive prizes to deliver record-setting wins and greater player engagement. We’re proud to support this continued expansion and look forward to welcoming even more lotteries to these networks.”
