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 ### 4/5 — Tickets *2025-12-23, version 1.41* It’s like being in love with numbers ### 3/5 — Not showing what’s exactly on ticket *2025-12-21, version 1.41* When I scanned my ticket it shows I didn’t purchase power play. I purchased power play and double play. I also had to manually enter my numbers because when I took the picture all my numbers were wrong and it only showed one row instead of two. ### 1/5 — Needs Improvement *2025-11-14, version 1.41* Scanner is not dependable. Doesn’t always work and a gray page emerges. ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2025-10-09, version 1.41* It doesn’t tell you if you won or not! ### 1/5 — Dave your time *2025-09-09, version 1.41* Doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Only scans subset of numbers *2025-09-07, version 1.41* This app doesn’t even scan all the numbers on the ticket. I tried 4 different tickets in well-lit photos and it would only scan 1-2 sets of numbers ### 1/5 — Don’t waste *2025-09-07, version 1.41* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — After scanning I just get a white screen *2025-09-06, version 1.41* Unusable. I only get a white screen after scanning any ticket ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2025-09-05, version 1.41* The scan doesn’t work and the image capture is awful. Won’t pull multi-entry tickets and the one it did pull had the wrong numbers. Complete garbage app. ### 1/5 — Faulty app *2025-09-03, version 1.41* Faulty! I scanned my ticket numerous times and it’s telling me it’s an error when I followed every bit and piece of the instructions! ### 1/5 — Not scanning properly *2025-09-02, version 1.41* I have 5 sets of numbers on ticket… I have scanned multiple times and it leaves out at least 1 line every time I scan, sometimes it leaves out 2 or 3 lines…. 👎 ### 1/5 — This app is not accurate! *2025-09-01, version 1.41* After scanning my Powerball ticket twice it said I didn’t win anything however I did get the Powerball number which is $4.00 if I would not have double checked my ticket #s I would have just thrown my lotto ticket away ! ### 1/5 — Lotto girl *2025-08-28, version 1.41* The site always spending never acting right! ### 1/5 — Slow and not responding *2025-08-03, version 1.41* Times app is slow and does not respond ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 1/5 — Don’t work *2025-12-20, version 1.41* I scanned my ticket three times and it kept getting the numbers wrong ### 1/5 — Insufficient *2025-12-17, version 1.41* Doesn’t read all lines of numbers per ticket ### 1/5 — Hard to use *2025-12-14, version 1.41* Used to be easy to use and it is stupidly difficult. ### 1/5 — Very clunky *2025-12-11, version 1.41* Doesn't scan the QR code, manual entry of the numbers is made 10x more infuriating because every space is prefilled out with the wrong number and you have to manually delete them to enter the actual numbers. Have the developers never used a smart phone before? ### 1/5 — No scan *2025-12-09, version 1.41* You can’t scan the bar code at the bottom of your ticket absolutely worthless ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amen 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 *2026-05-30, version 1.41* God can do anything!! He can turn anything around! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Spot On *2025-06-10, version 1.41* What a 🪺 Eggcellrnt feature being able to scan your currents Draw games QR code and add other potential possibilities!🤑 ### 5/5 — A useful app *2025-05-21, version 1.41* This app is very simple, and both time, and money saving, from having to chase down a working scanner at a participating location. ### 5/5 — I want to win the lottery *2025-03-29, version 1.0.37+37* Please let me win ### 5/5 — Confirms what I expected. A “DONATION TO ROADS and SCHOOLS” *2024-12-27, version 1.0.37+37* The scan is pretty simple. The app has its own camera button, which I like! No getting out of the app and going to your camera to try to scan or take a picture and switching back. So you actually are just taking a clear photo of the entire ticket. Hit use photo and it pops up with a calendar, select the draw date of the ticket. This brings up your ticket compared with the actual numbers drawn. Right below your numbers it states the dollar amount that it believes you should receive. Pretty simple?, takes a minute. Seems accurate and it’s FREE!! ### 5/5 — Nice App *2024-03-24* Seems like it works for me except it didn’t even give me the lucky numbers ### 5/5 — Lo mejor en información *2024-03-10, version 1.0.30+30* Mi suerte ### 5/5 — Kenny Mac *2024-02-08* It was easy to download the app and I’m stupid stupid when it comes to computers it was very easy to find out if my ticket was a winner mega millions unfortunately I’m not a winner. Good luck next time. Thank you very much for your app. ### 5/5 — I love it 😃 *2024-01-04* Very easy to use , I can check all my tikes at home 🏡 don’t have to go to the store… thank you 🙏 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
