Tickets won’t scan with iPhone 14

I’ve never had an issue with the app til I bought an iPhone 14 the tickets wont scan I’ve contacted the lottery, been given a number for second chance and even contacted the app developer for over a year still won’t work with this model phone . I’ve been entering the tickets manually . It’s funny cause the tickets scan on the other mass lotto app

The app won’t work

I’ve scanned hundreds of $30 and $50 second chance tickets on this app and suddenly it doesn’t work at all anymore ! It shows a 1990s dial up loading symbol ! I have t been able to check the status or upload tickets for months on end! Someone needs to be held accountable what happens to all the tickets I already enters that can no longer be accessed? I guess I can say I’m not surprised a government run app is the only one I ever seen just stop working !!! This is why we the people lost all faith in government and you useless bureaucrats!!!

Love this app

Previous review by someone states that the number that scans doesn’t match the number on the ticket. If you look online it will tell you they won’t be the same. You can also go online and see all of your scanned in tickets and how many chances you have in each drawing. It’s super simple. Love love love it.

Why is the app not working?

I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and I have been using this app for a long time. Now all the sudden it won’t work at all. I e deleted it. Redownloaded it. I’ve waited thinking it’s being worked on… but nothing. It stopped working for me. Anyone else having issues with this app?

Keyboard

The main lottery app has the keyboard where the . And @ are on it That makes it easier to put in your email address You should do the same with 2nd chance It would even be better if we can save our email and password

Not bad

My experience hasn’t been too bad. My scanner works (iphone12) , but I’ve been trying to find out how people get notified if they win? I’ve been looking but can’t seem to find the answer.

Qr works fine

For the simple minds that say the qr displays a different number well, it does but it still submits the ticket you scanned and your ticket is entered.

Needs Update

App hasn’t been updated since the cameras have gotten more sophisticated. Cannot take a picture of second chance barcodes with newer phones auto focus does not work in app.

Can’t scan from new iPhone please update

Can no longer scan 2nd chance since I upgraded to iPhone 14pro. Please update this app to be compatible with newer phones with better cameras. Usless app at this point. Why don’t you respond to this app showing us a fix if you won’t update? Turning Macros on doesn’t fix issue.

Scanned number didn’t even match the ticket!

I looked at the example given of where to find it and then scanned it and the number displayed wasn’t the same 24 digit number I saw printed on the ticket. I repeated this twice and ended up entering it by hand for submission. This didn’t leave me with a feeling of my 2nd chance as being a legitimate 2nd chance entry at all.

Keeps getting worse and worse

The app has gone far downhill in the past couple months. They really need to check it out and update the app to fix all the bugs. Over the past couple months the games that come along with the entry's has not been working and now the entry's are not working in general.

Won’t let me scan tickets!

I had over 20 tickets to enter so thought I’d download this app so I didn’t have to enter each one separately . Good idea but not so good app as it wouldn’t let me scan them. So back to entering them one at a time. Needs to be fixed . I can tell by reading other reviews ( and they go back a year ) I’m not alone. Sad!

iPhone 14 still not working

This app was ok until I got the iphone 14 pro max. Now it will not scan because it selects the wrong camera or it has no control to select it. Just guessing the lens it selects focuses to far away.

Massachusetts, Trying to screw you AGAIN

Like the other reviewer said , scan it and doesn’t enter the same number that’s on the ticket. After a couple times “scanning” I entered it manually. BIG surprise it won’t accept it and keeps saying completely fill out information ..... HAHA it’s a joke just like this state!!!

App won’t work anymore.

Been using the app for years but now when I tried opening the app, the wheel spins and won’t load. Uninstalled and reinstalled it and now it opens to a title page but there are no options to do anything.

Terrible

Tried becoming a member and it said I already had an account with the name and address. Did a password reset with the email I would have put and it said no account available. Makes no sense. Such a stupid app that nobody can help me out with. No wonder it has crappy reviews.

Can’t scan?

Doesn’t seem like you can scan your cards in with an iPhone 14 pro max. App hasn’t been updated in 2 years?

Crashes like crazy on iOS 11.3

Never had issues with it before... until I had the genius idea of updating my phone. Now it crashes 9/10 times I open it and every 3 or 4 ticket scans if I get lucky enough to make that far before crashing

Unable to Scan with New iPhone

Unable to scan tickets after upgrading to newest iPhone. Camera doesn’t focus on barcode and doesn’t recognize it. Seems like the app needs an update.

Won’t load on new phone

Aweful

Hasn’t been updated in 7 months that should tell you something. Lots of bugs always opens on a blank page, can’t put more than one ticket in at a time without relogging in your account. Ma lottery this app should be an embarrassment to you.

Needs update

App will not keep me logged in. Requires me to re-enter all login info each time. Needs fingerprint recognition. When entering tickets it won’t scan the ticket, I have to enter ticket numbers manually. After each entry the app crashes.

Can’t scan barcodes

App not staying up to date with newer phones and tickets. Can’t scan anymore, need to manually enter all codes. Maybe this is how to reduce the amount of 2nd chance entries.

1 year ago, FungusAm0ngus

What’s the Point !?

The whole purpose for the app is so you can quickly scan in 2nd chance entries but the scanner does nothing, it doesn’t even auto focus wth. Par for the course for Mass Lottery, billion dollar operation run like a dime store.

SCAN NOT WORKING!

Scan is no longer compatible with IPhone 14. Camera feature also no longer allows you to zoom in without going out of focus

It’s ok

I wish I could save my email address so I didn’t have to key it every time I log in. Other than that the app works ok.

Doesn’t work on iPhone 14 pro max

As of this review, Mar 1, 2023 this app does not scan tickets for those who use the iPhone pro max 14… it may affect other iPhones as well. App developer really needs to update the app.

Have to keep redownloading to use

App will work once I delete and redownload it. Just a pain for doing second chance entries, never used to be like this :(

Crashes on every Apple Device

App launches and then closes every single time. Not worth even trying to download.

Scam

Scanner doesn’t work. Manually entering the number doesn’t work. Clearly they don’t want you in the 2nd chance drawing. Entering the number on the website doesn’t work either.

Doesn’t work after upgrading to iPhone 14 . Please update .

Scam

Is this a real app? The scan does not do anything. Apple should flag this as it collects a ton of personal info and does not work. Shocked this is allowed in the app store.
