Helps a little if you manually enter
Been looking for a scanner app for lottery and this seemed most promising, while it does well in tracking your numbers and telling what you have won. The biggest feature that sets it apart from other apps is scanning ability or so I thought. It does scan and get a majority of number correct but at least 10% of number on each ticket had the wrong numbers entered after scanning. The most common issues is with single digit numbers like 01,02,03 etc as it always thought 0 as 7 so it become 73,72,71.
So this made many of my ticket unable to show true winning. Should the scanner be updated to better interpret number than I’d give it 5 starts but since it fails at this I don’t want to waste time recorrecting the numbers.Show lessKoolmanya

Please send sample ticket pictures to scan@lottomonkeyapp.com so we may help you out.Utterly inadequate, but better than others
I simply want to scan – quickly! – a bunch of lottery tickets that have been sitting around possibly unchecked. They’re older tickets, mostly. Mostly Powerball and MegaMillions.
Each ticket has the numbers I’ve drawn, the date of the game, and the value of the ticket. It’s printed right there.
There’s also a barcode at the bottom of the ticket, which must include that same information, I’m guessing, in more machine-readable format.
So why, with apps like this, do I have scroll down, down, down, until I finally find the date I want, then scan the ticket, then line the numbers up, before it can tell me anything?! Every single piece of information needed is printed right in the ticket. I should be able to go boom, boom, boom, scan each ticket with one click, then the next one, and the next, and the next. Instead, it’s mind-numbing my infuriating to have to go through this.
The only reason I am giving two stars instead of one is that it at least does scan one piece of the information needed, so it’s better than some other apps. Since I can’t give zero stars, those others will get one star, meaning this one gets two. So, great job, guys. Two stars, because you’re better than the ones getting the very lowest rating possible. Congratulations.Show lessk9gardner

The SmartCaptain: Pool Lottery app does "boom, boom, boom" and scans many tickets all at once. Please install it from App Store, or email support@lottomonkeyapp.com so we may help you out.Great App
Easy to use and fast. I had an issue (operator error) wrote the company and got a response first thing next day. I have no reservations recommending this app.GypsyCowboy 1
Pre-Scanning
Like this app a lot. Replaces a spreadsheet that I had built, but I had to key in the numbers.
But, I scan in my tickets prior to the drawings. After the drawings occur, the scan is no longer there and I have to scan the ticket again.
Is this a premium feature?Jmssa5

Please email details to support@lottomonkeyapp.com and we will help you out.Would be a great app but....
This would be a great app to track your lottery numbers but it does not support Mississippi. I know we just started selling powerball and mega millions tickets but I can’t scan my tickets because it ask for the state where you purchased them and Mississippi is not on there.Todd and Lori
Love this app
It really makes it easy and fun to play. Just snap a pic and it does everything for you. The best part is they don’t make you sign in so if you do win you remain anonymous. Well done!!AnaCr0ss
Useless
I don’t understand the point of scanning your ticket if you won’t tell me if it’s a winning ticket or not. Is. There no way to scan your ticket at home and find out if it’s a winner or not? FYI - In Canada there is...xxmrbulletplayerxx
excellent 🙂
Generally it is good enough app, easy using, nice interface, anyway I want to rate this app as 5 stars because of excellent quality of ticket scanner, every scan is correct on the first try! It’s really what I need - buy ticket, scan, save, wait for a lottery drawing.___dima
Fix for iOS 13 didn’t fix it
Hasn’t worked since iOS 13 came out. The iOS 13 fix doesn’t fix it in iOS 13.1.2.
UPDATE - Now it’s working again. When functional, it’s hard to beat this app for ease of use. I know that some people complain that it only scans and OCRs the ticket but it has never misread any number.
I’ve updated my review back to 5 stars.Show lessrhydr

Support to iOS 13 has been released.App takes forever to update drawing results
The app takes forever to update its drawing results so you’re left sitting around looking at the numbers yourself seeing how much you won. Don’t waste your money on this poorly managed app.
Update: it took between 4 and 8 hours for the app to update the drawing results for the March 27, 2019 Powerball drawing. I find this unacceptable.Show lessDmb2733
