### 1/5 — Scan picture

*2026-07-14, version 1.41*

Not a fan of the way you have to take a picture and pic your date. Just tell me if I had winning numbers

### 5/5 — Amen 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

*2026-05-30, version 1.41*

God can do anything!! He can turn anything around!

### 3/5 — Confused

*2026-05-21, version 1.41*

Purchased Power Play on tickets, but it was not acknowledged in the scan

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-03-23, version 1.41*

Every time I scan it says bad lighting (it’s not) or a gray screen pops up and nothing happens.

### 1/5 — Does not scan

*2026-02-24, version 1.41*

This thing does not scan

### 5/5 — Works Great!!

*2026-01-03, version 1.41*

Works just like you think it should. Saves a ton of time. Better than the app from the actual lottery org.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-01-01, version 1.41*

It’s 11:20 pm and app says no lottery results yet and lottery ticket scanned was for today

### 2/5 — Meh

*2025-12-30, version 1.41*

Not helpful really. Multiple attempts, with tickets from multiple states, either resulted in omitted rows of numbers, or parsing errors and the entire ticket does not get scanned. Good idea, but needs more work

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-12-25, version 1.41*

Can’t scan the ticket you have to manually put your numbers in and check them so dumb

### 4/5 — Tickets

*2025-12-23, version 1.41*

It’s like being in love with numbers
