Project Overview

The Jackpocket app users were experiencing the inability to choose how they would receive their winnings. By addressing a key feature that had left many feeling restricted; it provided a flexible, player-first solution, giving users more control over how they manage their winnings.

Market Competition Analysis

It began with an in-depth market analysis for the Jackpocket app toggle add-on, by identifying key trends, user frustrations , competitor insights, and strategic opportunities to lead in the lottery mobile space.

GOAL:  To have a clear and concise method to receive winnings.
GOAL: Create and implement interactive element options.
GOAL: Ability to switch between a lump sum or annuity option that is clear and intuitive for users.

Personas

A comprehensive analysis for the Jackpocket feature toggle was aimed at identifying trends in the lottery space. Assessing user needs and pain points to position Jackpocket as a leader in lottery mobile space.

In-Depth Research

The key insights gathered that were used to guide the project:

1

Interviews and surveys: Participants expressed a strong focus on sustainability and highlighted several pain points. One of the main priorities identified was simplifying the ordering process and determining the best approach for implementation.

2

Market Analysis: A thorough analysis of existing lottery apps revealed a significant shortcoming in the user experience related to placing orders. The assessment compiled detailed information on the ordering workflow and the setup of winnings options.

3

Persona Development: Detailed personas were created, to gain a  perspective for each with unique needs.

4

User Testing: A/B testing, internal testing, feedback, and testing again.

The Problem

This project presented several edge cases that required design iterations. However, the focus of this project was to add a feature for the lack of a lump sum or annuity option to the users.

Users recommended adding an option to provide details on claiming their winnings.

Providing an icon explaining the winning options available to users.

To provide users with clear and easily understandable options.

Pain points and missteps

No choices for users on how to receive winnings.

The Solution

The initial prototype failed, with users describing it as having “limited winning options.” To turn things around, an exploratory design sprint was conducted to brainstorm solutions and refine the focus on the most critical user pain points. The key improvement was providing two distinct winning options, clearly allowing one to override the other.

 A understandable and concise method for users to receive winnings.
Clear options with an information icon to enhance user confidence in their selections.
Simplified decision-making presenting two distinct winning options, reducing confusion and improving the overall experience.

Comprehensive Design Process

Information Architecture

Carefully structured to provide an intuitive user journey, balancing item content, interactive features, and user friendly engagement.

Wireframing & Prototyping

Early wireframes led to interactive prototypes, which were tested and iterated on. This phase was crucial for refining user flows and interface elements.

User Interface Design

Creating a visually appealing and emotionally engaging experience. The design incorporated nature-inspired themes, intuitive icons, and an easy-to-navigate layout.

Engaging & User Centric

Special attention was given to making the app engaging and easily navigable. Add-ons and information icons were also included in the ordering process.

LoFi to HiFi

Starting with low-fidelity wireframes allowed for efficient refinement and iteration before moving to high-fidelity designs informed by feedback. In the hi-fi stage, I incorporated detailed elements like visual hierarchy, while maintaining branding to enhance the user experience; making it more intuitive, engaging, and user-friendly.

Before

After

Picking Your Numbers

User opens the lottery app, selects their preferred game, and chooses numbers by tapping on the screen or using the app’s quick-pick feature. After reviewing their selection, they confirm their numbers and complete the purchase with a simple tap on the following screen.

Add on Feature

After a user selects their lottery numbers, the user is directed to the purchase screen where one can review choices. Here, the. user is presented with the new feature option to choose either a lump sum payout or annuity payments, and once the user selects their preferred payout method, they finalize the purchase by tapping the confirm button.

Its All in The Details

After developing a clear and efficient solution for users to choose between a lump sum or annuity option, it became evident that an information icon was necessary. This would help users understand their selection and the reasoning behind it when deciding on their winnings options.

Conclusion

The Jacpocket lottery app offers an exceptional user experience, especially with the added option to choose between a lump sum or annuity payout, giving players more control over their winnings. This feature directly addresses user needs for transparency and flexibility, while simplifying the decision-making process for big wins. By streamlining the interface and eliminating frustrations like complex navigation, the app ensures a smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free lottery experience.
