  • Extremely Convenient

    Since the pandemic some lottery places has either stop selling lottery or some just pay out when you win. This app allows you to play as much as you like & when you win they put the money right in your account in about 48hrs. So, that mean very little contact with the public & you have to wonder if they are gonna pay you if you win. I’ll probably never play in-person unless it’s a scratch ticket. I absolutely love this app. I wish I would’ve started earlier...

  • Wise Player

    Because of my busy lifestyle I don’t get to play because I’m always either too tired to stop and play, or forget to play...don’t wanna use certain ATM machines depending on where I am. But with this Illinois Lottery App I can feel comfortable playing anytime I want and wherever I want. No ATM fees and I can collect my winnings safely on my phone! This is one of the most necessary app to have! With this app... anything is possible!

  • Convenient!!

    I love this app! It’s easy to use and a great way to play if you hate standing in lines like I do! It will let you know if you win or lose and you can see it. I use to stand in line to play my numbers then misplace my tickets or forget to check them! I don’t have that issue anymore and it does not require a lot of effort on my part. The app makes it super easy to play occasionally. Now, all I need is some winners luck!😁😁😁😁😉

  • Illinois Lottery review

    When the Illinois Lottery changed its Contractor in 2019 that operates the App you could tell that they lacked experience in running a lottery system. Prior to the takeover, players could follow on the App where winning tickets were purchased within minutes. It took the new contractor months to figure it out but only for certain games. Here we are a year and a half with a new contractor and players have no idea where winning tickets for the Mega Game or the PowerBall Game winning tickets are sold on the App. You have to search the Media Sites the following day to find where winning Jackpots are Sold.

  • Not working

    I love this app. It’s great to buy my lotto tickets if I forget to get them at the store and I also love to be able to scan my tickets and see if I won. But for the past week or so the app has not been working I don’t know if there’s some sort of issue or if you guys aren’t even aware of it but it be great if the app would work. I tried deleting it and re-adding it and that does not work either. Once you get this fixed I’ll go back up to five stars!!
    I’m changing my review to five stars I did try again to uninstall and reinstall it and now it is working!

  • Time Saver

    In this my first week, the app worked flawlessly; no hiccups, no bugs. Initially, I bypassed the app after reading a majority of negative reviews. A problem the app solved is the error message “unable to find your location,” which prevented me from using the iPhone to play the lottery. Playing through the app is faster than playing from my computer. I imagine that will come in handy if I ever need to make a last minute transaction.

  • It’s not great but it’s not a complete waste either

    I do like the fact I can play from my phone when, I can’t make it to the store. Although, I hate the fact that my winnings, if I play through the app. get deposited into my app wallet.

    But, the best feature, is being able to check your scratch-offs and lottery number game tickets from the safe comfort of your phone. Now, I still wonder how accurate this thing is....but it is what it is 👍

  • Easy to play

    Love this app I have been using this for a couple of years now and absolutely love it. I am able to play my favorite games without leaving the house or making it up the store in time for the draws. The only downfall is waiting a few days to get your money transferred to your bank account for wins under 600 and weeks if you win big if you request a check. If you win over 600 you can call and make a claim and go to the lottery agent to cash in on Normal business days though which is nice.

  • Better than ever

    I’ve been using the app for years and didn’t really care for it because there was a dollar limit. Since the updates I actually love it and prefer it over going to the store. My mom plays the lottery everyday fatefully, she doesn’t have the app but last week she didn’t have time to play before the drawing and called to see if I was close to a store to play for her and I wasn’t but I played in the app for her. The app is really convenient and it saves you from having to rush to the store and hope the person in front of you doesn’t have a page full of numbers and you miss your chance to play!!!

  • Convenient

    I love the convenience of being able to check tickets and scratchers on the app. Also the convenience of being able to play from the app. *******maybe in the near future there will be an option, when you scan and have won, to add funds from winner to your app account to be able to play again from your phone. **** also, maybe an option to scan play slip to easily play on the app. Instead of putting in numbers one by one. ****
