We’ve got breaking news on the technology front today: Now we’ve got an Apple AND an Android version of our app you can use to check the outcome of your Iowa Lottery tickets and get the latest details about our games and promotions.
It’s a project we’ve been working on for months, and we’re excited that everything has gone live! Both versions of the app were published late last night/early today on iTunes and Play Store. The app is called the “Iowa Lottery’s LotteryPlus,” and here are direct links to where you can find it:
Google Play Store®, http://bit.ly/IALOT_AndroidApp_Download
Apple iTunes Store® , http://bit.ly/IALOT_AppleApp_Download
Some of you may know that we’ve had an iTunes app for a few years now, and we’ve been working on the companion technology for Android. So even if you’ve used our iTunes app before, check it out today because it’s gotten a serious update that includes a lot of new features.
Here are some of the functions in our official mobile app:
Google Play Store version supports Android 4.1 and above.
iTunes version supports iOS 8.0 and above.
Check your tickets to see if you’re a winner using the barcode scanner.
Use the “ePlayslip” feature to design a ticket for your favorite Iowa Lottery game on the go. Pick your favorite numbers or shake your device to use the numbers generator. Saving your play generates a bar code that you can scan at any lottery retailer when you’re ready to purchase your ticket.
Get current jackpots and winning numbers for all of the Iowa Lottery’s games, including Powerball®, Mega Millions®, Hot Lotto®, Lucky For Life®, All or Nothing™, and Iowa’s Pick 3 and Iowa Pick 4.

Hi Becky,
There isn't a designated "viewfinder" for checking tickets on your phone. This feature utilizes your phone's camera, so essentially your entire screen is the viewfinder, just start pointing your camera somewhere on the ticket and it will focus in on where it needs to to check your ticket.

I have a Samsung Galexy S7 Edge. When I try to use the app I hit "scan a ticket" there is no viewfinder to scan the ticket? What am I missing? Thank you.

Hi, Mike. Oh, good feedback! I will pass that along to our team that works on the apps. But just to double-check the details in the meantime: You can save multiple ePLAYSLIPS by using our app, and then you can just call up each playslip and scan it to get that play. But I think you're wanting a playslip that would allow for multiple plays with one scan. Try saving multiple playslips on the app for now.

There is no option to pick more than one set of numbers for any drawing when creating an ePLAYSLIP.
I can pick a single set of numbers for multiple drawings, but there does not seem to be a way to pick multiple sets of numbers for a drawing, single or multiple.
That seems to be a component that needs to be added.
