Washington's Lottery

response required

I’m sophisticated enough to understand the lottery games are...at best...a tax on people who are dumb at maths. I have played any way, even though my understanding of combinations & permutations means winning unlikely. When it was simple to scan my tickets on my phone & get near instant feedback, I played the game. Now you want my bio & give me less feedback. My state is stupid to undermine the games with such undesirable features that invade my privacy & make me hate the process. So now, when I want to throw a little money away, I’ll go to one of the nearby casinos. Dumb, dumber, dumberer. And other states like Colorado, the governments spend their lottery tax earnings on infrastructure that people can see...but not here. I’m done giving $ to Washington via the lottery.

Before the most current update you did not have to be signed in to check your ticket. Plus the older version of the app showed you your ticket numbers even if it wasn’t a winner. The updated version of the app you have to have an account and be signed in to scan your ticket. Once your ticket is scanned the updated version just says “Sorry, your not a winner”, it doesn’t show you your numbers on your ticket like the previous version. I like comparing my physical ticket numbers to what the app shows to make sure there’s not a mistake. Disappointed that that feature was changed. Probably won’t be buying as many tickets in the future.

Used to be able to scan a ticket without having to give away your information to the jackals but they want to sell your information like so many other to whichever scammer that pays for the info. Funny how everyone says your information is confidential yet after owning a smartphone and downloading specific apps you get scam calls up the wazoo. Not giving these clowns the opportunity. will the developers have enough junk to update the review pictures to show the information they require to use this scanner? My guess is no they won’t because they know that they are overreaching hardcore.

I have been using this app for a while and I used to be able to just click on the app icon and scan my ticket in just a few seconds ... with the recent update that the developers did this is a thing of the past - LOL. I had to create an account and now the scanner doesn’t even work ! Stupid update on the developers end! The app basically doesn’t function now ... I don’t want to check all my numbers because I keep tickets for a long time sometimes and I have to go back and check them ... what’s the point now of even using the app ???

Previously I was able to scan my tickets easily. System was accurate. But recently as of early November 2019 on an update, it now wants me to have an account login to scan. The amount of information wanted to get a login is ridiculous. I don’t give up that much info to any app I have outside of banking. It seems they want to sell or use my info. They already get my lotto $ to pay for this. Hopefully this is a IT mistake that’ll be corrected soon or I’m deleting the app.
