Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: CA Lottery Official App at 4.7 against FunPass's 2.2. CA Lottery Official App also leads on ratings volume (181K vs 47) and chart position (#148 vs unranked). FunPass's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 12%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CA Lottery Official App holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CA Lottery Official App has 181K ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of CA Lottery Official App's written reviews are positive against 29% of FunPass's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CA Lottery Official App ships an update every 2 months, FunPass every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
