Less amount of games.? My idea being not as many multi million winners. But a lot of people would be happy with a $100,000 for a $1.00 ticket. ### 2/5 — Only for checking *2026-08-26, version 6.36.1* Never worked for me, doesn’t work when I try to sign in, only good for scanning tickets ### 2/5 — Winnings *2026-08-13, version 6.36.1* Need to make it easier to deposit winnings into bank or back on the card used to put money on the account. The government just wants you to keep gambling. ### 3/5 — Out of state *2026-08-11, version 6.36.1* App kept me from purchasing tickets because it kept saying that I was out of state! Other than that, it’s fine. ### 1/5 — Take your money but your not getting a ticket just get your money back in 7 day!! *2026-08-08, version 6.36.1* Mind as well delete the app and go to the nearest gas station. Scamming az app and state lol ### 5/5 — Winner Winner *2026-08-07, version 6.36.1* Winner! ### 5/5 — Wishful Winning *2026-08-07, version 6.36.1* Love to be able to play without leaving my home. ### 5/5 — Let’s get it *2026-08-06, version 6.36.1* It’s just a joy to wonder what it would be like to win so the dream continues,live a little dream with me. ### 1/5 — Payout *2026-08-04, version 6.36.1* Very little payout online ### 1/5 — Whatever *2026-08-04, version 6.36.1* You hardly win anything ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t allow me to purchase a ticket *2026-09-01, version 6.36.4* Won’t allow me to purchase a ticket ### 1/5 — Account Registration Failures Across the Board *2026-08-30, version 6.36.4* Disappointing app all around. The account registration process is broken. Password reset doesn’t work. Additionally you need yet another specialized account for the 2nd chance lottery game. I haven’t experienced such a colossal failure of an app in such a long time. My advice to the developer… Turn on some metrics to tune the user experience. It doesn’t have to be this bad. ### 1/5 — New address not accepted *2026-08-23, version 6.36.1* I moved & new address is not accepted in app, so I can no longer use the app. Called and they said there’s nothing they can do. ### 1/5 — They lie about the odds *2026-08-21, version 6.36.1* I’ve spent thousands of dollars and the “stats” and chances listed on the games is an absolute lie. Don’t waste your money on this app, plus they send you fake notifications about “winners” that won jackpots. If you use this at all just buy your powerball tickets on here, only thing it’s good for ### 1/5 — Illinois Lottery is a scam *2026-08-18, version 6.36.1* Cut out the breakeven prizes nobody wants to gamble their money just to win their money back one out of every 150 tickets. You actually make a profit. ### 1/5 — Súper easy to loose your money *2026-08-16, version 6.36.1* Stay away from this app.You will loose your money easily ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2026-08-15, version 6.36.1* Typical state performance as it takes an act of Congress to add a credit card. Not shocking though anything the government’s involved in never works. Sad but true. ### 1/5 — Quirky *2026-08-12, version 6.36.1* Constantly tells me I’m not in Illinois even though I am and have my location turned on. ### 1/5 — Suddenly It’s Trash *2026-08-11, version 6.36.1* I’m not sure what in the world is going on lately but this app absolutely sucks. It never works and opens up with an error message to “go to home screen”. Then it won’t detect that I’m in the state of Illinois. Just garbage and it wasn’t like this earlier. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-08-10, version 6.36.1* The most disgusting app i ever seen. Always have a problem. Always. Nothing but useless. Wasted of time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-09-04, version 6.36.4* What a great way to feel amazing and terrible all in about 5 minutes. LOVE IT! that’s why it’s a gamble. ### 5/5 — Much better than standing in line *2026-09-03, version 6.36.4* Love the app because I do not have to stand in line to do any Lottery business ### 5/5 — Luck Is In the Air *2026-08-19, version 6.36.1* My dad was a winner years ago, and I’ve been winning, too! I win more online than with in-store purchases. Love the app! Saves me time and a trip to the local stores. ### 5/5 — Ok *2026-08-16, version 6.36.1* Ok ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-08-14, version 6.36.1* You can scan very easily, is really fast and good application ### 5/5 — Miss Kat *2026-08-14, version 6.36.1* The best app ever ### 5/5 — Set up hard play easy *2026-08-13, version 6.36.1* Getting CC to set up was a pain. Many of my cards were not accepted so I am fumbling in my wallet to find one that finally worked. Once I did finding game that I wanted was a breeze. ### 5/5 — My Lotto *2026-08-12, version 6.36.1* mw5312 ### 5/5 — You lose more than you win *2026-08-12, version 6.36.1* You can put in $20 but $10 tickets you can win 5 times and the total will be $15 that you won. SMH money hungry app that pays out BS ### 5/5 — Winning *2026-08-09, version 6.36.1* Winner --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
