The scan doesn’t even work. ### 1/5 — This app sucks. *2025-12-11, version 1.2.1* This app does not copy your tickets correctly. There’s no way to tell if you won it’s horrible. There’s no way to get any help and it doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. ### 1/5 — Worst app on Apple! *2025-09-07, version 1.2.1* Horrible app!! ### 1/5 — Ticket scanner needs a lot of work *2025-09-07, version 1.2.1* The accuracy of the ticket scanner is very poor. It would be generous to say it accurately scans 60% of the numbers and lines. ### 2/5 — Scanning Not Good *2025-09-06, version 1.2.1* If you try to scan a ticket with multiple sets of numbers it doesn’t work out well. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2025-09-06, version 1.2.1* Not user-friendly and not intuitive at all simply unusable. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-09-06, version 1.2.1* I have a brand new iPhone 16 Pro, and when I engage this app, it does not focus on the ticket barcode and errors out every time. ### 2/5 — Great concept - worthless execution *2025-09-04, version 1.2.1* Scan function only recognizes about 50% of the numbers correctly. Requires several edits. Also, cumbersome in having to check ticket numbers against correct date. Would absolutely recommend this if scanning feature were actually accurate. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2025-09-04, version 1.2.1* All I want to do is scan a power ball ticket and know if it’s a winner or not this app is taking pics and saving numbers but I hit check now and it does nothing. You would think it would be a pretty simple process but this app makes it difficult if it even does that! ### 1/5 — Scan Not working *2025-08-28, version 1.2.1* The scan ticket function doesn’t work at all. ### 2/5 — Scan? *2025-08-24, version 1.2.1* Scan doesn’t seem to do anything ### 1/5 — You take a picture of the ticket *2025-08-20, version 1.2.1* You better check because I took a picture of the same ticket 3 times and it got the numbers wrong all 3 times. Horrible. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2024-09-16* Scanner doesn’t work ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible!Can’t say “yes or no” once it scans ticket and ASKS YOU“Is this your ticket?”Can’t say Yes/ *2026-06-10, version 1.3* It is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to scan your tickets. I had to take roughly 20 pictures that the app allows you to take to check your ticket-SOOOO I FINALLY got the app to read my ticket-then it asks me “Are these your numbers?” BUT THERES NO “YES or NO” OPTION TO CHECK THE DAMN TICKETS! Instead there’s a million ads at the bottom. But there’s NO OPTION TO SAY “Yes or No!” WHAT THE HECK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? WHY DIDNT the developers have enough brains to give you the option to say “Yes this is my ticket.” This has to be the most UNINTELLIGENT APP EVER CREATED. My god. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-03-14, version 1.3* The scan feature does not work properly- and sure it allows you to edit a line but if it scans the powerball number incorrectly to a higher number than is even an option you can’t edit that portion as you can’t unselect a number that doesn’t exist. I tried multiple tickets and it has not got a single ticket correct.. you may as well enter each line manually- which is an option but defeats the purpose of the app itself. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2026-01-28, version 1.2.1* Doesn’t check numbers and does nothing. ### 1/5 — Pure junk. Do not download. *2025-12-28, version 1.2.1* The only thing that works are the advertisements. They work REALLY well. Everything else about this app is useless -- especially the scanner -- which I'm assuming is the primary reason people download this ad-machine-impersonating-a-functional-app in the first place. Monetize with ads, for sure, IF YOU HAVE A FUNCTIONAL APP TO OFFER. ### 1/5 — Literally useless *2025-12-25, version 1.2.1* First it takes about a dozen attempts to even get it to scan and then it just picks up the first line of numbers that are all incorrect anyway. Absolutely pointless. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-12-25, version 1.2.1* Just rubbish, ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-12-23, version 1.2.1* You scan your ticket and it takes you to a different screen where one would assume it would tell you if you won anything, but it doesn’t tell you anything lol. Gives you the option to save your ticket numbers, but that’s it lol so, what’s the point? 😅 ### 1/5 — Scanner Doesn’t Work *2025-12-23, version 1.2.1* The scanner doesn’t work and we’ve tried more than one device and type. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t read numbers… *2025-12-21, version 1.2.1* Horrible , if your app is made to scan tickets and you always have to edit the tickets, then why have the app !?!?!!! ### 1/5 — Can’t scan or accept a good photo for the life of it. *2025-12-20, version 1.2.1* Complete garbage app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mal *2026-05-31, version 1.3* Excelente app ### 5/5 — G *2026-05-21, version 1.3* B ### 5/5 — Excelente App.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2026-04-12, version 1.3* Excelente App.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Very user friendly app *2026-01-29, version 1.2.1* I’m very satisfied with the ease of use and ease of using the scanner to check your tickets. ### 5/5 — Pay up *2024-08-26, version 1.2.1* My money please ### 5/5 — Pay up *2024-06-30* Where do I collect my money? ### 5/5 — Pay up *2024-05-24* Where do I collect my money? ### 5/5 — Ganadora *2024-01-01, version 1.2.1* Voy a Ganar lo Necesito ### 5/5 — 100% Excelente *2023-02-04, version 1.0.2* Primera vez que veo una app tan buena y rápida. La recomiendo al 100% ### 4/5 — Powerball *2025-12-14, version 1.2.1* I had fun playing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
