Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CT Lottery at 4.7 against Big 98.1's 3.8. CT Lottery also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (12K vs 6). Big 98.1's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 20%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CT Lottery holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CT Lottery has 12K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Big 98.1's written reviews are positive against 20% of CT Lottery's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Big 98.1 ships an update every 6 months, CT Lottery every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
