Once I got it set up, the scan feature on instant cards does not work well. My camera lenses clean. I was able to scan one scratch off, but not the other. The app is terrible! ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2026-07-31, version 2.3.0* This app glitches often. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-07-31, version 2.3.0* Can’t create account, slow and useless. It’s good at collection your info. Just wanted to scan a ticket but I guess that’s asking too much. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-07-31, version 2.3.0* Really sucks couldn’t get into app ### 1/5 — Won’t let me create account *2026-07-30, version 2.3.0* I tried creating account with this app and the website for like 20 times with multiple emails but it kept saying that the account already exists, try resetting the password. And when I try to reset the password it say there is no such found in there DayaBase. Like what is going here. Such a bad and very unorganized app and the website. ### 1/5 — App has been rendered useless *2026-07-30, version 2.3.0* This latest update has made the app totally useless. I open it and I get a blank white screen. Been like that for days now. Please fix the bugs in this barely useful app or put the “check your ticket” scanning option back into the other MD Lottery app. ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2026-07-28, version 2.3.0* Keeps closing ### 1/5 — Worst app *2026-07-26, version 2.3.0* Another way to make it more complicated to do things in MD. This app sucks. You have to go through a registration just to scan your scratch offs, you can barely tell how to scan the tickets and if you won or not. This app is complete trash! ### 1/5 — Does Not Work *2026-07-25, version 2.3.0* After numerous attempts, scanning scratch offs does not work. Rarely had an issue with prior app. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2026-07-25, version 2.3.0* This is the dumbest app. What moron thought it’s necessary to now require all your personal data just to scan to see if you won a scratch off. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-07-25, version 2.3.0* App doesn’t even work ### 1/5 — Scan tickets doesn’t work *2026-07-24, version 2.3.0* The only reason I download the app and created an account was to scan tickets and the app won’t even do that. Please fix asap! ### 1/5 — Waste of Time *2026-07-23, version 2.3.0* Says you have an account, then it says you don’t. Idiocracy. ### 1/5 — What’s going on with this app!!! *2026-07-19, version 2.3.0* Same here, this app used to work and now it doesn’t even load anymore. I wonder about the lottery system, they should invest in a decent app. I’m pretty sure they may have a little bit of $$ to pay some decent developers. ### 1/5 — Your website need to be configured *2026-07-18, version 2.3.0* Been requesting forgot password since last year and nothing. Worse site but I will continue playing VA and DC is the best. MD you need to get it together please work on your site can’t check tickets without login i understand you want us to get credit for our tickets but issue’s ### 1/5 — I miss the old app *2026-07-18, version 2.3.0* The ticket scanner doesn’t work, The app doesn’t save Face ID, doesn’t have an option to save acct info for ease of login, They just made it harder to make us download another app… why not just fix the first one? ### 1/5 — Poor ticket scanning *2026-07-14, version 2.3.0* The old app used to scan with very little trouble. This app is horrible. Please fix this ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-07-14, version 2.3.0* Idk who’s bright idea it was to remove the scanner from the original app. This asks for way too much info to scan a ticket. Do not use! ### 1/5 — Can’t check tickets *2026-07-14, version 2.3.0* The old MD lottery app directed me to download this one to check my scratchers. Have to make an account. Tells me both of my emails are already registered. Try to reset password, neither email address is registered. It’s just a constant loop that gets you nowhere ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Never scans *2026-08-08, version 2.3.0* Hate this app ### 1/5 — The Viewfinder Sucks *2026-08-08, version 2.3.0* I’ve been trying to scan 5 scratch off tickets and I was only able to scan one in the last 5 mins. I’ve tried different lighting and adjusting the distance of the tickets. The last app’s viewfinder would scan a ticket in a second. I may end up going to a machine to get my tickets scanned. ### 1/5 — Very wonky *2026-08-07, version 2.3.0* This app is very wonky. It takes too long to get results of a scanned ticket. It does not allow you to enter 2nd chance drawings. The page won’t refresh when you enter the amount of points you want to use for the drawing. Also, I wasn’t able to register my full name because someone with the same name has already registered. It’s not fair that you need to fully register to just scan/check a ticket. ### 1/5 — Why?! *2026-08-06, version 2.3.0* Why couldn’t you just scan your ticket with the old app. Why do you have to try and be like PA now! Dummest state ever don’t do that ### 1/5 — Scanner *2026-08-05, version 2.3.0* The only reason I have for this app is to scan my occasional scratch offs. But the scanner is terrible. The Maryland Lottery app scanner was better and I didn’t need to make an account to use it. What a pain. I’d rather not even play honestly. ### 1/5 — Garbage app *2026-08-05, version 2.3.0* App is not usable, scan function does not work. Completely ridiculous that this is needed to check tickets when nothing was wrong with the other app ### 1/5 — Can’t set up account *2026-08-04, version 2.3.0* I could not set up an account. I tried 3 different emails. They said I already had an account ### 1/5 — No thank you *2026-08-03, version 2.3.0* They are requesting all your personal information to set up an account just to scan a ticket. ### 1/5 — Scanner won’t work *2026-08-01, version 2.3.0* I have been scanning my tickets for so long with no problem. What kind of scanner have you changed this to? I can use the other scanner and the other app. But for scratch off the scanner does not work. I have tried repeatedly and I’m just so disgusted with it. You think with all the money coming in for the lottery you could do better. ### 1/5 — Fix you damn app! *2026-08-01, version 2.3.0* Having the same issue as the other reviewer. I can’t check tickets. It kept routing me to verifying my account when I already did multiple times. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Buenos *2026-08-02, version 2.3.0* Activit ### 5/5 — My rewards are not working when I go to login. It just keeps spinning. *2024-11-04, version 2.3.0* I am unable to connect to my rewards. Please help me with this before I lose my rewards points. ### 5/5 — Unable to scan for rewards *2024-01-05, version 2.3.0* Every time I try to scan for rewards, I put my information in, my password and I open the app and I get a blank screen. I have an iPhone and have done everything necessary to scan for rewards, to no avail. AIWAYS A BLANK SCREEN, very frustrating. I can scan to see if I have a winner, but not to get rewards. Very disappointed in the Lottery as it’s something we enjoy playing, however I feel we have been scammed when it come to getting rewards. ### 5/5 — Winning *2022-04-08, version 2.2.0* Have been pleased with this app for a while. Please give more prize points than draw points. You can do more with prize points. Don’t convert my points to draw points. ### 5/5 — So far so good *2019-08-23* I come from New York and bought some tickets on a drive through Maryland and saw on the tickets you can use this app. I was hesitant due to the bad review but tried just in case they updated it or in case of user error. It worked perfectly to scan the tickets. When you scam there it a “t” like line that comes on screen you just need to make sure that the little scanner box on the bottom is clear and right at the center of the “t” and bam you get a fast read and response. It doesn’t get any simpler than that. So it did what it was suppose to do for me anyway. I didn’t get anymore involved with it yet. But I wanted to leave a recent review for anyone wanting to scan to know that this works perfectly fine and to give it another try. And also that is it really cool you can scan from your phone in Maryland cause in NY you can’t do that you have to scan at a lotto store. 😀 ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2018-01-15, version 1.1.0* It’s a really good app and I’ve gotten tons of stuff off here and it’s legit. But now for some reason the app isn’t letting me log in once I do it boots me out and makes me re log in then does it again. ### 5/5 — App works fine *2016-07-13* I downloaded on IPad and this app works great so far. Saved me tons of time not having to type all the numbers in for rewards points. Also, if it doesn't take your number, you may have a winning ticket. It won't say how much, but then you can check tickets. I had no problem with the scanner on scratch offs or pick 4's etc. Love it! ### 4/5 — Wont scan anymore *2026-04-23, version 2.3.0* Upgraded my Phone and now this app wont scan and of my tickets. ### 4/5 — Easy Lottery numbers verifier *2025-08-26, version 2.3.0* Easily scans tickets for numbers Saves bonus points from tickets to buy merchandise or enter secondary lottery to win merchandise. Negative: have to reenter when opting to play secondary lottery. ### 4/5 — Glitchy, but Accurate *2022-03-24* I’ve experienced a lot of the problems other uses mentioned, but I’ve never “lost” points or had the app fail to record points correctly. And the prize ordering system has never let me down. Plus, I won one of the monthly drawings so that part is legit. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
