So many people play as most Of the tickets are sold out at my king Soopers. How about daily 2,3,4,5 and 6-digit drawings like other states? And why does the Colorado Lotto reset to such a small amount after it’s won? Please offer more, it’s been the same ole same ole since it started. ### 3/5 — Not updated *2026-03-07, version 4.7.3* I’m beginning to doubt the validity of this app. First, it has not been updated to show millionaire for life drawings with the same jackpot draw features for number checking as power ball , mega millions, etc., in fact lucky for life is still showing in the app. If it hasn’t been updated for that, how can I trust the scanner feature for this tickets? Additionally, it claims to show how many large jackpot scratch prizes remain for each scratch game. However neither on the app nor website is it listed how they determine this information-is it by tracking winning tickets by purchase or claims?(This seems possibly deceptive advertising and perhaps illegal?) I do like the jackpot scanning feature. Unlike other reviews, I’ve never had an inaccurate scan as far as it being a winner or non winner. I do however echo other reviewers and wish it could tell you how much a scratch off ticket or jackpot drawing ticket won. If the machines in gas stations can do it, no reason for the app not to be able to. (I do like that you can check your favorite numbers for each jack pot drawing and that will tell you how much you’ve won-and I like that you can save your favorite numbers as well). ### 3/5 — Scanner Issues *2026-01-25, version 4.7.3* I am rarely able to scan a ticket without getting an error that says the ticket was scanned but unable to verify its status and to try again later. I have tried cleaning the lens, changing resolution, making sure the barcode is perfectly clean and good lighting with no success. My husband can scan the same ticket and has no issues. This needs fixed. Or the ability to enter the numbers. Additionally, it would be nice to know exactly what was won when the scanner actually works. ### 1/5 — Scan stopped working *2025-12-15, version 4.7.3* I have used this app for a while but recently the scan function stopped working for powerball tickets. ### 1/5 — Have used this for years *2025-12-14, version 4.7.3* Why do developers always mess up apps when they are working just fine??? This app used to work and now you can’t scan tickets. It’s really frustrating, especially after how much money you guys make off of us and you can’t even have a working app. Do better Colorado lottery!! ### 1/5 — app sucks *2025-12-12, version 4.7.3* stopped scan ticket barcodes ### 3/5 — Scanner *2025-11-24, version 4.7.3* I updated my I-Phone to the latest update and now the scanner has stopped working. I reloaded the app and again allowed the use of my camera. Still not working. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t scan tickets *2025-09-08, version 4.7.3* I have had this app for about two weeks now and I have not been able to scan any tickets on it. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Worthless app that doesn’t scan tickets *2025-09-07, version 4.7.3* This app forces you to create an account with your personal info in order to scan lotto tickets. After account creation, it still doesn’t scan the tickets or offer results and returns a message saying you might be a winner. Completely worthless ### 1/5 — Claims i won when i didnt *2025-09-06, version 4.7.3* I scanned a ticket and said I was a winner but I wasn’t ### 3/5 — Please update *2025-09-06, version 4.7.3* The scanner for scratch tickets is almost constantly coming up with an error. Please fix! Thanks ### 1/5 — If it early updates *2025-09-06, version 4.7.3* It won’t work All the time it’s off from its own site quirky ### 2/5 — Down hill *2025-08-29, version 4.7.3* I wonder if the developers are over this app. If feels like the app is a slow roll down hill. Please get motivated and excited about this app, I like it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-08-28, version 4.7.3* With or without an account the scanner feature doesn’t work. Just says “drawing hasn’t occurred yet” even well after it has in fact been announced and drawn. Don’t waste your time. ### 3/5 — Need a update *2025-07-07, version 4.7.3* It almost never updates to the latest drawings and the scanner is twitchy. It’s basically about a 50/50 shot if the app is going to work ### 1/5 — Can’t login on any device. *2025-04-13, version 4.7.3* Nothing but network errors ### 1/5 — Doesn’t scan bar codes *2025-04-06, version 4.7.1* The only reason I have this app is to scan for winning tickets. Now it doesn’t even do that. Very disappointing ### 1/5 — Way behind… *2025-04-05, version 4.7.1* Not updated in forever… Does not cover new Mega Millions numbers + new 10x multiplier, does not tell you the amount you won, scanner is hit or miss ### 3/5 — Scanner rarely works correctly *2025-03-19, version 4.7.1* The scanner will scan everything but the correct bar code. Very frustrating. Needs fixed! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rarely can I get it to scan *2026-05-14, version 4.8.2* I have tried numerous times by deleting and reinstalling the app. It used to scan the barcodes but now it doesn’t work properly. ### 1/5 — No longer works to scan tickets *2026-03-30, version 4.8.2* Used for years, no longer works with latest update ### 1/5 — Lacking compared to other states *2026-03-26, version 4.8.2* Many other state lottery apps not only let you see how much you’ve won but allow much more like the app for Ohio letting you purchase tickets through the app and letting you cash out through the app. Responses to others suggesting that the app at least show you how much you have won are met with the response “ For security reasons, only in-store terminals are authorized to verify and determine the amount of any winnings. We're sorry for the inconvenience this may cause you.” So how are many other state apps allowed to show winnings and not Colorado, make it make sense. I feel like the Colorado app is lacking compared to other states. Edit as of 03/25/2026 App has been updated and now it doesn’t work; can’t log in and can’t scan. Using iPhone 15 pro max, iOS 26.3.1 ### 1/5 — App is Out of Date (of course) *2026-03-23, version 4.7.3* This isn’t a great app to begin with. It doesn’t even tell you the amount you’ve won when scanning tickets, which is a huge hassle. But now it’s been well over a month since Millionaire for Life started and the app still isn’t updated. Colorado Lottery is always dropping the ball. I can almost never buy scratchers from vending machine because they’re sold out and not restocked. And now this app still has the long-ended Lucky for Life game. It’s like Colorado runs their lottery games out of their garage. Please get it together already. It’s embarrassing. ### 1/5 — 11 months⁉️ *2026-03-22, version 4.7.3* I realize that M4L may not last, but there is still no sign of it on this neglected app., while defunct Lucky persists. You need to read and heed all of the reviews posted in 2026. ### 1/5 — App Issues *2026-03-05, version 4.7.3* You would think in this day and age the app would tell you how much you won. Other states do doesn’t surprise me that Colorado doesn’t guaranteed it was a democrat that’s running tech support and probably developed it ha ha. It scanned two tickets of mine and said they were winners and they weren’t. I see so many bad reviews and yet nothing is done about it. They can throw hundreds of thousands of dollars at all these different trails but they can’t put $50,000 into a couple app updates and design. It’s pathetic. ### 1/5 — It just plain doesn’t work, and apparently that’s been true for a WHILE *2026-01-16, version 4.7.3* It won’t scan at all. Completely useless. Developer has been “looking into it” for a very long time. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2025-12-22, version 4.7.3* Doesn’t tell you how much you won. How is this not possible in this day and age? ### 1/5 — scanner doesn’t tell you how much you won *2025-12-21, version 4.7.3* why on earth can the scanner tell you that you won, but not how much? completely useless ### 1/5 — Skill *2025-12-20, version 4.7.3* For some reason, the engineers aren’t smart enough to program this app to tell you how much you have won. Smh ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great APP *2020-02-07, version 4.3.1* I find this is a great time saver. I successfully scan every ticket and go cash in. Love having this available, instead of holding up the lines at the stores. ### 5/5 — Second chance *2020-02-03, version 4.3.1* I love this app! But my only suggestion would be to show the second chance winners on the appOther than that I love this app ### 5/5 — Easy use *2020-02-02, version 4.3.1* Like how I can check all my tickets, look at top prizes left and auto add you to second chance drawings. ### 5/5 — Works great for me!! *2020-02-01* I use this all the time, works great! I scan scratch tickets as well as Jackpot tickets, manually check numbers and it has been working great. The best part is scanning a scratch ticket and having it automatically entered in the 2nd chance drawing! I login and my entries are there plus I get emails that have the new entries. ### 5/5 — It works as advertised!!!! *2020-02-01, version 4.3.1* You can scan all of your tickets, every single kind and it will tell you if you won or try again. ### 5/5 — Good app *2020-02-01, version 4.3.1* Very easy to navigate through this app. This will tell you anything you need to know about the lottery.... except what the winning numbers WILL be. ### 5/5 — Rate the App *2020-02-01, version 4.3.1* It works great ! There are occasions when it does not update in a timely manner but it is usually updated w/ the new picked numbers within 24 hrs. This is convenient for me and I love it ### 5/5 — Unsatisfied *2020-02-01, version 4.3.1* The app itself works great except every time I scan a ticket it says “sorry this ticket is not a winner”. That’s been highly disappointing. ### 5/5 — Saved me money *2019-11-24, version 4.3.1* I wouldn’t have claimed some of my small winnings if it weren’t for this app! $48 in the last week or two! ### 5/5 — Colorado Lottery app works well for me *2019-11-22* I use it pretty regularly. It can sometime glitch but a quick reboot usually does the job. I’ll continue to use it to check numbers, see the jackpots draws, and see what prizes are left on the scratch tickets. No since shooting for a big scratch ticket jackpot if it’s already been purchased --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
