Scan function for Mega Millions does not load correctly. I have to enter numbers manually. ### 2/5 — Scanning the numbers *2026-04-05, version 1.9.12* Scanning parts does not work as it should ### 4/5 — Not Working Lately *2024-11-02, version 1.8.1* I really enjoyed the convenience of using this app to check my lottery tickets for any all at once rather than having to go to each state’s Lottery website. However, the app seems to now have a glitch. The app last reported winning lottery numbers, the new jackpot amount, and any prizes won per matched numbers was the 10/26/24 Powerball draw. As there aren’t any updates for the app, I will check my lottery tickets via the respective states’ lottery websites. I hope the app is fixed soon as it is a time saver! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-10-08, version 1.8.1* I attempted to scan my ticket and Everytime I click the scan ticket, the screen goes black. Uninstalling ### 1/5 — Failed to scan *2024-07-04, version 1.8.1* Failed to scan watched video did the same way Failed to scan ### 1/5 — Complete trash *2024-03-31, version 1.8.1* Don’t waste your time or life with this app. Ever heard of useless and doesn’t work? Multiply by 10 and add Powerplay multiplier of 1000X on top of that. ### 4/5 — Was great *2023-12-02, version 1.8.1* Does not store numbers, many times. ### 1/5 — Scan Scam *2023-08-06, version 1.8* Fails to read tickets ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2023-08-05, version 1.8* This app cannot scan the ticket numbers correctly. I followed the directions and tried scanning several times. It got the numbers wrong every time and didn’t even pick up all of the numbers most of the time. ### 1/5 — Incorrect scan *2023-08-05, version 1.8* Double check numbers ### 3/5 — Decent *2023-07-28, version 1.8* Doesn’t always scan your numbers so that’s a bit annoying ### 2/5 — Scan error *2023-07-20, version 1.8* This app doesn’t scan tickets very well. ### 3/5 — Scanning Poorly *2023-06-25, version 1.8* This app’s ok. You get some free limited scans and then you’ll have to pay which I wouldn't bother. It doesn’t completely scan the five lines of numbers on my Powerball ticket. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No longer works *2026-06-13, version 1.9.12* You have a better chance of winning the lottery jackpot than having this app work properly. Used to like this app but it has changed dramatically. It crashes all the time No longer scans tickets and the past two days not even updating the numbers. Completely off line. I have the most recent update but still not working properly. The current owners couldn’t count their own butt cheeks and get the same number twice. ### 1/5 — No longer works *2026-03-15, version 1.9.12* You have a better chance of winning the lottery jackpot than having this app work properly.

I don’t think so…so long monkey ### 1/5 — No longer works *2024-12-01, version 1.8.2* Stopped working the past 24 hours. I was updated but still didn’t work. It has worked since recent developer update but I’m looking for a new app. This one just very uncertain and not worth hassle ### 1/5 — App broken *2024-10-29, version 1.8.1* App Broken, will not scan tickets ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Marginal App *2025-12-02, version 1.8.5* Not my favorite app. ### 5/5 — Works great and is actively supported. *2024-11-22, version 1.8.2* I use this app weekly and have so for many years. Would be lost without it. ### 5/5 — The Powerball system is not working *2024-10-21* The tickets are not recording and the ticket numbers are not changing- there is no effort to correct the problem Now the scanning system is not functioning at all- this is garbage **Developer response:** Please upgrade. ### 5/5 — Only one thing missing *2024-02-07, version 1.8.1* Please add the ability to select Power Play or Megaply while scanning tickets. I can edit my scans after they’re saved and turn on Power Play, but it would be nice to be able to do that before saving, while verifying the scanned numbers are correct. Otherwise solid app! ### 5/5 — Chatty cherry *2023-09-13, version 1.8* best way to improve your life. ### 5/5 — Absolutely love this app *2022-04-01, version 1.8* What a time saver to merely scan your lotto tickets with this app! It’s not perfect, but it works very well! Highly recommend!!! ### 5/5 — Truck driver *2021-01-12, version 1.7.3* Not as good as the old app ### 5/5 — My weekly information *2020-11-05, version 1.7.3* Wonderful way to find out what’s going ON ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-06-16, version 1.7.3* Easy to use and fast. I had an issue (operator error) wrote the company and got a response first thing next day. I have no reservations recommending this app. ### 5/5 — Pre-Scanning *2020-05-10* Like this app a lot. Replaces a spreadsheet that I had built, but I had to key in the numbers. But, I scan in my tickets prior to the drawings. After the drawings occur, the scan is no longer there and I have to scan the ticket again. Is this a premium feature? **Developer response:** Please email details to support@lottomonkeyapp.com and we will help you out. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
