Instant Win Gaming (IWG), a supplier of eInstant games to NASPL and WLA-member lotteries, has added the Kentucky Lottery and Pennsylvania Lottery to its Rocket Jackpots multi-state progressive network, announced on 3 November 2026.
The expansion follows the programme’s earlier launch with the North Carolina Education Lottery and Virginia Lottery, bringing the total number of participating lotteries to four.
How the format works
Rocket Jackpots runs on IWG’s InstantFuse technology, which links two separate multi-state progressive jackpots, named the Power Jackpot and the Boost Jackpot, that accumulate independently during normal play. During scheduled daily periods known as Power Boost Hours, the two jackpots are merged into a single larger prize, the Power Boost Jackpot. Once this period ends, the jackpots split again and continue to grow separately until the next merge event.
The network operates on IWG’s proprietary InstantRGS platform, which the company says allows Rocket Jackpots to be rolled out in new jurisdictions without needing development work from individual lotteries’ iLottery platform providers. IWG acts as jackpot manager, overseeing the settlement of prize funds across the participating lotteries.
Company comment
Jason Lisiecki, Executive Vice President at IWG, said the addition of Kentucky and Pennsylvania reflects the distinct player experience created by the InstantFuse mechanic, describing the recurring merge event as a way to build anticipation and engagement. He added that the format is designed to support player retention by combining a recurring moment of excitement with increased prize potential, and that IWG expects the programme to continue expanding to further markets.
IWG says it has 20 years of experience developing instant win games and develops more than 300 new InstantGames each year for its lottery customers. Its InstantRGS platform delivers content from data centres in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland.
