LottoMonkey: Scan Lottery Reviews

by K9gardner

I simply want to scan – quickly! – a bunch of lottery tickets that have been sitting around possibly unchecked. They’re older tickets, mostly. Mostly Powerball and MegaMillions.

Each ticket has the numbers I’ve drawn, the date of the game, and the value of the ticket. It’s printed right there.

There’s also a barcode at the bottom of the ticket, which must include that same information, I’m guessing, in more machine-readable format.

So why, with apps like this, do I have scroll down, down, down, until I finally find the date I want, then scan the ticket, then line the numbers up, before it can tell me anything?! Every single piece of information needed is printed right in the ticket. I should be able to go boom, boom, boom, scan each ticket with one click, then the next one, and the next, and the next. Instead, it’s mind-numbing my infuriating to have to go through this.

The only reason I am giving two stars instead of one is that it at least does scan one piece of the information needed, so it’s better than some other apps. Since I can’t give zero stars, those others will get one star, meaning this one gets two. So, great job, guys. Two stars, because you’re better than the ones getting the very lowest rating possible. Congratulations.

Been looking for a scanner app for lottery and this seemed most promising, while it does well in tracking your numbers and telling what you have won. The biggest feature that sets it apart from other apps is scanning ability or so I thought. It does scan and get a majority of number correct but at least 10% of number on each ticket had the wrong numbers entered after scanning. The most common issues is with single digit numbers like 01,02,03 etc as it always thought 0 as 7 so it become 73,72,71.

So this made many of my ticket unable to show true winning. Should the scanner be updated to better interpret number than I’d give it 5 starts but since it fails at this I don’t want to waste time recorrecting the numbers.

I downloaded LottoMonkey because I thought it was gonna be a great app to scan in tickets. It doesn’t scan too good when they are an image from a computer. It took several tries to get it to scan properly and when it did it’s still miss numbers a decent amount of the numbers. I tried to scan in a total of three tickets and it took about 20-ish tries. I still had to re-enter numbers and when I tried to scan another ticket I basically now I had to pay money to scan that ticket in plus others which I thought was very interesting. I’m not sure I would get LottoMonkey I might look for another one.

Works great as a number checker and ticket holder.
Would have been 5 stars but LottoMonkey does not tell you how many free checks you get. Took one star off for that.
Took another star off due to price. $5 a month for a subscription to automatically check your numbers when everyone can do it for free. Or $1 for 50 numbers. That just two powerball tickets (10 games).
Way to expensive. Should be no more than $1 a month or be able to buy a lifetime subscription like a pro app.
$5/month? Who is your target buyer? No thanks.

While the scanning function appears to be quite accurate and convenient, I downloaded LottoMonkey to check my numbers from a draw that occurred yesterday, and it is unfortunately not possible to add a ticket for a draw in the past. That seems like a critical missing function that the dev should consider supporting.

I highly recommend LottoMonkey. It is a must get. It scans super fast easy to use. Even
Has the ability to use the Power play options for mega and power ball. I trust LottoMonkey and have been using is for several months. I have tried other apps and they take forever to scan the ticket. LottoMonkey is super fast scanning takes only seconds to input your tickets and it automatically tells you if you win and how much. Bill S.

lottomokey is the modern way of checking lottery tickets compared to the antiquated way. You don’t have to spend your time on checking your lottery tickets yourself anymore because this one will check all automatically.

LottoMonkey is extremely fast and easy to use. The interface is highly user friendly and hasn’t let me down even once.

This might be a Hidden Fee thing. When I loaded it, it asked me for No information, and told me nothing about fees. When I looked into it fully, I saw $4.99 or .99 stuff. It was fun, but if it something we have to pay $4.99 a month for, I’m not doing it. So CAREFUL!

Does exactly what it says it does. Simple, intuitive user interface, doesn't need to be updated constantly with flashy bells and whistles like some reviewers want. That makes no sense. It displays the results of basically any lottery. Enough said.

LottoMonkey is easy to use and I like everything up until you have to wait for the results to post. Sometimes it takes 45 minutes.

Generally it is good enough app, easy using, nice interface, anyway I want to rate LottoMonkey as 5 stars because of excellent quality of ticket scanner, every scan is correct on the first try! It’s really what I need - buy ticket, scan, save, wait for a lottery drawing.

I usually buy some lottery tickets. I hope for a big money come to my life. And the difficult thing I had is I didn't know when and what about the results? But now, with LottoMonkey, I don't worry anything about that. I get the results immidiately.

by Rikara Arakirp

Excellent application Thank you. While using it, I had nothing wrong. I am just happy for the opportunity it is presenting to me, to other players. I can make sure, it can increase your chance to reach the winnings. And one day it will help me to get my jackpot. I am really excited.

Thanks for fixing it so quick last time. Love LottoMonkey makes checking my tickets easy 😬

I just updated my iPhone and now it won’t open again think their will be an update soon?

Like LottoMonkey a lot. Replaces a spreadsheet that I had built, but I had to key in the numbers.

But, I scan in my tickets prior to the drawings. After the drawings occur, the scan is no longer there and I have to scan the ticket again.

Is this a premium feature?

A truth I want to share is I have never experienced any problem with this app. Before I have been playing on it for a long time, then I haven’t played there for a while and now I am with it again. And one extra thing you should know it is definitely not a scam. Will stick to it anyway.

Hasn’t worked since iOS 13 came out. The iOS 13 fix doesn’t fix it in iOS 13.1.2.

UPDATE - Now it’s working again. When functional, it’s hard to beat LottoMonkey for ease of use. I know that some people complain that it only scans and OCRs the ticket but it has never misread any number.

I’ve updated my review back to 5 stars.

I’ve enjoyed the occasional flutter on this app over the last year and had a few small wins. And I didn’t know why from this period I could not win any tickets, perhaps I was not lucky, but I still play it everyday because I believe I will have on jack pot one day.
