### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-05-26, version 2.0.1*

Doesn’t show the current jackpots amount. The easy slip would require you to hand the phone back and forth to the worker each and every time you used it.  Camera is blurry. I hope my tax dollars didn’t pay for this

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-04-06, version 2.0.1*

Camera won’t focus while scanning

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-04-01, version 2.0.1*

The ticket scanner to check if you have a winning ticket has been broken for years. Probably over five years now at least that I know of. 

Stop prioritizing releasing updates for whatever current events you have going on and take the time to fix your unusable, non-intuitive, non-user-friendly app. Give your software engineers capacity to work on what needs to be worked on, which is very obviously tech debt. 

I feel bad because I am a software engineer and I know someone worked hard on this application, but the fact that it’s practically unusable for one of the main things that users will likely use it for makes it useless. Make it a top priority to fix the ticket scanner and whatever other major issues are being reported by users. Listen to your customers!

### 1/5 — Scanning scratchers

*2026-02-08, version 2.0.1*

This app never works properly. I can never get the scratch off ticket scanning function to ever scan the ticket.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-01-26, version 2.0.1*

Don’t waste your time… doesn’t scan tickets or work at all

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-01-25, version 2.0.1*

Scanning tickets on this app raises my blood pressure. I have one of the newest phones so I know my camera is fine.

Update!: I swear the scanner has gotten worse!!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD. Waist of time

UPDATE #2: still trash….  1/25/26

### 2/5 — Stopped working

*2026-01-15, version 2.0.1*

Usually I have no issues checking tickets or signing signing up to win with my non-winning tickets but here lately I can’t even get to do anything

### 1/5 — What’s up with your scanner?

*2025-12-28, version 2.0.1*

It doesn’t work. Fix it.

### 1/5 — Hot garbage

*2025-12-25, version 2.0.1*

Title says it all

### 1/5 — Bad camera distance

*2025-12-24, version 2.0.1*

Absolute garbage ticket scanner. Doesnt zoom in on the qr code, you have to be 9’ away for it to come into focus but its too far away to recognize it. Don’t waste your time. To the app developers, its 2025, do better
