Needs overhaul – Official NY Lottery Review

The scan feature is long overdue. So it’s good to see it being addressed. But it’s ineffective and worthless. For one, when scanning a ticket it doesn’t allow you to take ticket barcode into view but rather rapidly scans whatever camera is pointing at. So it’s not “smart” and doesn’t wait till you have barcode in parameters. It will snap a scan whether pointing at ticket or your leg and then tell you you aren’t a winner. DO NOT THROW OUT TICKETS AFTER SCANNING. Wait for overhaul. Also, this shouldn’t be limited at all - you should be able to check whatever tickets you have. But you can’t bc it automatically snaps scan shots and wastes your attempts. Please overhaul this thing so it can serve the public and retailers
