Although millions of people across the U.S. play the lottery, many players will forget to check their tickets during the drawing. In fact, over 34 million winning lottery tickets go unclaimed every year, and in this past year alone, lottery players missed out on $2 billion dollars of prize money due to unclaimed and expired tickets.
However, a new app promises to change this statistic by helping lottery players claim their winnings. As featured on Late Night Parents Lottolotto, a client of Los Angeles based tech and apps public relations firm PMBC Group, is the new go-to lottery app that helps players win big.
Lottolotto, the No. 1 lottery app, ensures more lottery winners by sending players notifications of winnings to their smartphones and tablets. The app allows users to scan lottery tickets simply by taking a photo with their Apple or Android device. Lottolotto uses optical character recognition technology to read ticket information from the user’s photo and recognizes the lottery game, drawing date, and ticket numbers. Lottolotto is the only lottery app that will recognize tickets from all U.S. lotteries and daily drawings, as well as those from the District of Columbia.
Lottolotto provides immediate results for past drawings and sends notifications to the player’s device once a drawing takes place, alerting the player if the ticket is a winner, the amount won, and where the player can cash in. Using location based geotracking, Lottolotto shows players convenient retail locations where winnings can be redeemed and new tickets can be purchased.
Another unique aspect of Lottolotto is the lottery pool feature which allows users to create lottery pools with coworkers, friends, or family and share ticket information among the group members. If a ticket from the pool is a winner, every member of the group will receive a notification of the winnings.
