Jackpocket Appoints Carter Vance as its First General Counsel

Jackpocket Inc. has appointed Carter Vance as its first general counsel. Vance joins Jackpocket from Churchill Downs. He spent nearly six years at Churchill Downs, most recently as vice president and associate general counsel. Vance holds a J.D. and an MBA from Duke University, as well as a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Pennsylvania.
Reporting to CEO Peter Sullivan, Vance will oversee legal affairs and work closely with VP of External Affairs Andrew Fries to navigate the regulatory environment around lottery services.
“It’s clear Jackpocket has been thoughtful about its operations within existing laws and its approach to expansion in each state. I’m grateful to offer my guidance to the company where it is now—in good standing with lotteries, compliant in its technology provisions, and committed to its consumer protections—and excited to work with the leadership team, state lottery commissions and their lawmakers to make lottery play with Jackpocket a win-win for all,” Vance said.
“With Carter’s pedigree behind us, we’re even more enthusiastic at the opportunity to build more fruitful relationships with lotteries and their regulators. His background perfectly matches our needs in this stage of rapid growth, and will help guide us as we carve out a path toward efficient regulation and operation of lottery services across the U.S.” Peter Sullivan, Founder and CEO of Jackpocket said.
