The Lott 17+

I use the Lott as my one vice! I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t drive a car, I don’t play the pokies, I don’t follow the horses and I don’t bet on the football games or any other sport games. So I buy my X Lotto tickets every few Saturdays, then have an enjoyable Sunday morning checking my ticket. If I have won (no matter what amount) I thank my lucky stars, if it’s a small amount I leave it in to go towards the next time I play, if it’s a nice surprise amount I withdraw it and it will be used for some other purpose. Occasionally it will be a super surprise and that’s withdrawn and banked.
So a bit of fun with an occasional surprise paid for with MY money, I am not going without any thing, I am not robbing a bank, I am not robbing Peter to pay Paul, I am not taking food out of my children’s mouths mainly because I don’t have any children, speaking of food I don’t indulge in junk food. I still make my donation to whatever charity that knocks on my door.
And as I said it’s MY MONEY !!!
I am in full agreement of thinking before buying and only buying once you’ve paid any bills AND you’ve put food in your family’s belly.
So you don’t drink and drive and if you can’t afford a little bet walk away.
Very simple rules to live by!!!

I’d like to suggest the following improvements:

1. Ability to scan entry coupons (or whatever you call the paper tickety things where you manually mark an entry with X-es) with phone/iPad camera to input entries. My parents are old school and prefer to create written entries and I spend AGES entering them.

2. If one has a weekly limit set and you buy several tickets and exceed your limit- the app decides which tickets to keep and which to dump. It doesn’t give you a choice. Very frustrating.

3. You can save favourite numbers, which is useful. However, if you accidentally save two sets that have the same numbers, the app doesn’t tell you there is a duplicate. I mistakenly entered Powerball with the same numbers twice. D’oh! Please Identify sets of fave’s that are duplicates.

4. Regarding quick picks, I would like ways to adjust how these numbers are chosen. Eg- favour most commonly drawn / least commonly drawn numbers. And, favour numbers from the last 10 draws. Personal favourites (ie birthdays / lucky numbers) could be set to appear more often. Quick picks are a bit of a ‘black box’ at present, I’m sure many users would relish the opportunity to tweak how they’re chosen.

5. I would like to be able to get credit to my account by scanning tickets, the TAB App allows this.

6. Make a dark mode.

I really like the fact one can enter syndicates through the app now. Cool feature.

Thanks for your consideration of the above suggestions. :-)

29Jan2024-again, nothing changes. Still a crappy app. How many times buying a ticket do I have to buy a ticket?

12May21 Nothing changes. Still have to buy the ticket 10 times. Have a look at the competition’s ozlotto web site. They even email you the results instead of us having to login and go through multiple screens. ———————- How long do you need to get this app right? Says it works on an iPad - yeh right - as long as you don’t mind holding your head sideways. Check your ticket? You are logged in? OK? No it takes you to the next draw. Buy a ticket - fill in the numbers, get a loan from your credit card and presto -no? I discover the next day that I have only put $ in my account? Still another 50 steps to go. Do they send you an email on Monday to give you your results? No - that would be easy. I use OzLotto now - very easy and quick and they keep your winnings for ever. I know it’s a lottery but winning it should be the only hard bit. Goodbye Tatts.
