About Jumbo Interactive

Founded by current CEO Mike Veverka in 1996, Jumbo has become the leading digital reseller of official government and charitable lotteries.

Since 1996, Jumbo has experienced stellar growth, with the company now having more than 2 million customer accounts and employing more than 100 people.

The company’s Oz Lotteries technology-driven platform supports the processing of more than $150 million in ticket sales each year across lotteries such as Oz Lotto and Powerball.

Shareholder alignment

Jumbo’s founder Mike Veverka has remained a major shareholder in the business since its founding.

As it stands, Mike is Jumbo’s largest shareholder. His holdings were last published on 24 November 2020, when it was disclosed he held an interest in 9.5 million Jumbo shares currently valued at a cool $134.6 million.

With such substantial ‘skin in the game’, investors can rest assured that Mike has a deep interest in creating shareholder value.

My view on Jumbo shares

I think Jumbo is a solid business which will continue to prosper, driven by a growing proportion of Australians buying lottery tickets online, as opposed to purchasing in-store. COVID-19 has likely served as a catalyst for this transition, with many consumers now preferring to shop from the comfort and relative safety of their home.

At the time of writing, Jumbo shares trade on a trailing dividend yield of 2.51%. In my view, this appears to be reasonably attractive in the current low interest rate environment. In comparison, a 12-month term deposit from Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA) will only pay you 0.55%.

$50,000 per year in passive income from shares? Yes, please!

With interest rates UP, now could be one of the best times to start earning passive income from a portfolio. Imagine earning 4%, 5% — or more — in dividend passive income from the best shares, LICs, or ETFs… it’s like magic.

So how do the best investors do it?

Chief Investment Officer Owen Rask has just released his brand new passive income report. Owen has outlined 10 of his favourite ETFs and shares to watch, his rules for passive income investing, why he would buy ETFs before LICs and more.
