### 1/5 — WATCH YOUR CC/DC VERY CLOSELY-YES THEY STOLE $

*2025-10-26*

I signed up using my Card adding $20 on my Account and it kept saying it wasn’t accepting it try again so I showed my son and we changed it to only $18 which I used on playing 1 time and balance on Lottery Account is $0 but then
I saw on my on my balance was off $78. 
Illinois Lottery App took the $20x3 =$60.00 they said wasn’t being accepted !!
I was RIPPED OFF BY ILLINOIS STATE LOTTERY !!

### 1/5 — Worst App ever

*2023-01-17*

Every time I try and sign in it won’t let me. I’ve tried changing my personal info that they have wrong and when I change it it goes right back to the wrong info.

### 1/5 — Unable to identify as an Illinois resident. They took my change card

*2021-01-24*

They took my charge card and loaded money but can’t purchase tickets   Sent an email for support, no answer for assistance.  Spent 4 hours trying to identify that I am an Illinois resident for my entire life.  I’m sure that Illinois will blame COVID for no response.

### 1/5 — Zero Value

*2014-08-18*

Doesn't tell u what the day's jackpots are. If it does , I haven't figured if out yet. Download the other one where u can one stop shop and get everything u need.

### 1/5 — Illinois only

*2013-05-18*

This app does not have numbers for PowerBall or MegaMillions.  Unless you play only Illinois specific lottery games this app is useless.

### 2/5 — Not so fast

*2013-12-24*

This app needs to be updated to be in sync with midday Lucky Day Lotto and also the Fireball

### 3/5 — Needs update

*2013-09-28*

App needs to be updated to include new fire ball game for 3 and 4 digit numbers.

### 4/5 — Lottery stuff
