Frequently Asked Questions
General
What is LottoBotto?
LottoBotto is a free tool that reads your lottery ticket photos and automatically checks your numbers against official drawing results. Upload a photo of your ticket, and we'll tell you if you won.
How does it work?
Take a photo of your lottery ticket and upload it (or email it to us). Our system uses AI to read the numbers on your ticket, then checks them against official winning numbers when the drawing occurs. You'll receive an email with your results.
Which lotteries are supported?
We currently support Powerball, Mega Millions, Lotto America, Double Play, and Millionaire for Life.
Uploading Tickets
What image formats are accepted?
We accept JPEG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC images. For best results, take a clear, well-lit photo of your ticket with all numbers visible.
Why was my ticket rejected?
Tickets may be rejected if the image is too blurry, the numbers aren't legible, or the image isn't a lottery ticket. Receipts, screenshots, and non-ticket images will also be rejected. Try uploading a clearer photo.
How long does processing take?
Most tickets are processed within a few seconds. The ticket detail page will update automatically once processing is complete.
Results
How accurate are the results?
We do our absolute best to ensure accuracy, but OCR (optical character recognition) is not perfect. Results should be treated as informational only. Always verify winning numbers with your official state lottery retailer or website.
What does "Waiting" mean?
"Waiting" means the drawing hasn't happened yet. Your numbers will be checked automatically once the winning numbers are available, and you'll receive an email with the results.
What does "Checked" mean?
"Checked" means your numbers have been compared against the winning numbers for that drawing. The result (prize amount or "No match") is shown next to each line.
I think my results are wrong. What should I do?
You can flag a ticket for review by clicking the "Report Issue" button on the ticket detail page. Select a reason (wrong lottery, wrong numbers, wrong date, or other) and we'll look into it.
