In this weeks Flow of the week we will will show you an exciting Jackpot example where every losing ticket adds to the Jackpot and each ticket gets a jackpot number. At the end of the day the numbers are drawn – and if anyone has the winning number, then the Jackpot is automatically paid out to the winner/s and notified.  So, what if there are no winners? Well, the Jackpot prize will continue to grow for another day until the next draw! Check out below for how to flow it!

Remember – You can add and make changes to your Flow in minutes. You can also easily add a sub-jackpot, add a special Jackpot for VIPs and split your jackpots into different jackpots for different sports. Whatever and however you want to tailored your jackpot campaign  – Flows makes your ideas come to life.

So, how do you Flow it? 

Can I create the Jackpot using Flows?

Of course you can! Start your Flow by triggering it directly on every sportsbook ticket update. Then you need to check if the ticket was lost and increment the Jackpot value by the percentage value decided by. For example 1% of each losing ticket goes to the Jackpot.

You can also add a step to send the updated amount in real-time to your CRM, frontend and dynamic banners with Jackpot tickers!

How do I fetch the jackpot amount to display onsite?

If there is not the possibility to send the jackpot amount directly to your frontend or CRM – you can always build a Flow like the above and fetch the stored Jackpot amount – in real-time.

Can Flows manage the Jackpot draw and payout?

Yes we can! Every losing ticket is assigned a random Jackpot number that is saved within Flows.


We then wait until midnight or any set draw time to check if any ticket number matches the Jackpot number. If you happen to have more than 1 winner show, don’t worry, we can check that too. Here we start with adding the number of winners so we can later split the win between them and inform them immediately! We then go on to reset the Jackpot and assign a new random Jackpot number.

No winners that day? Don’t worry, the jackpot amount gets carried over to the next day, and so on, exciting, isn’t it? So, how many days will it take to hit? How big will it get? Well, that depends on the odds you decide on when assigning the random jackpot numbers.

As always with Flows, we empower you to bring your ideas to life and put them into action, without the need to code!
