Scanner isn’t working

Scanner isn’t working

Less than 1 star

I stopped by MN on a trip and bought lottery tickets. I downloaded the app to check them. Turns out i have to register and give my personal information, including my address just to scan a ticket. They could have excluded that function from requiring registration as I don’t need to give my address if I check my tickets at the store. Bad experience with the app and bad experience with MN lottery overall.

And please don’t tell me I need to register or need my address because of second chance drawings. I don’t want that. Like the multitudes of other people in the reviews, I just want to scan the ticket.

Please don’t even bother explaining the second chance opportunities.

Can’t even log in

For some reason app logged me out. I can’t log back in. I even tried creating a new account. Hope they fix it.

Fails frequently

Does not work consistently. Keeps requiring new sign-in. Not reliable.

Works like someone’s school project

There’s so many bugs in this app I don’t even know where to begin. Right now the camera doesn’t work even after giving permission. My mom got locked out of scanning tickets for no known reason at all. I got locked out because they didn’t recognize my (correct) password so I had to make another account. Then they didn’t recognize that password either so I had to change it before getting locked out again. Now I can’t even scan anything. Would be a great app if it worked. Also they should give notifications on second chance entries, whether you won or not. I never hear anything so I don’t know if I ever won and wasn’t told. I’d also like to throw away cards that expired. Fix your app. Seems like someone in government let their kid design the app, and not someone actually qualified for the job.
