Louisiana Lottery

App camera won't scan tickets on NEW phones. Certain features are NOT phone friendly at all which defeats the purpose of having an APP. 1. You can't go back after reviewing Scratch Off info or after checking winners/winning locations. You have to start all over. 2. Winning Location Map is difficult to navigate and rarely gives you the selection you're looking for, but maybe that’s done purposely. 3. SCRATCH LOTTOS should be required to report exactly how many Scratch Off tickets were printed VS winners and update stats accordingly for factual risk. Sometimes; TOP Prizes are claimed before tickets hit stores. 🧐

What a great app... if only it worked. You see, there is a great risk involved when something like this purports to accurately scan tickets and tell you if it’s a winner. But imagine your thoughts if your app kept telling you “Invalid Reply” after scanning a ticket. If you’re like me using this app for the first time you say to yourself, “Well, ‘Invalid Reply’ is an odd thing to state when the ticket is not a winner, but okay.” Then out of an abundance of caution, I checked my Powerball tickets against the actual numbers and lo and behold, 2 of 4 of my tickets were winners. Not huge— only $8 total, but imagine how much more money the Louisiana Lottery Commission gets to keep when people throw away tickets the Lottery Commission’s own app errantly said we’re not winners.

Thanks for finally getting this to the Louisiana people. The best feature of this much like a lot of other states apps is that you can scan all of your own lottery tickets be it a Scratch off or State lotto ticket. No more handing over your tickets to a complete stranger to possibly (this does not mean every worker is a thief) steal or defraud you out of your winnings. So keep up the good work Louisiana it’s a step in the right direction for your gaming industry.
