## Review summary

Overall, users report chronic scanner failures and high friction with the Official NY Lottery app. The need to create an account and provide sensitive data (SSN/driver's license) raises privacy concerns, and updates have worsened usability. The rewards/points system often doesn’t pay out, further diminishing value. A minority still notes occasional scanning success or useful manual checks, but these positives are far outweighed by the widespread reliability, privacy, and feature issues.

### Pros

- The scanner occasionally works, providing a quick way to check tickets.
- The app offers a manual number-check option when scanning fails.
- A small number of users still find the app useful/awesome or view it positively.

### Cons

- Scanner reliability is extremely poor; it often fails to scan tickets, forcing manual entry.
- Mandatory account creation and identity verification just to scan tickets.
- Privacy concerns due to requests for SSN/driver's license and potential data sharing.
- Recent updates degraded scanning functionality and overall usability.
- Rewards/points system and prize payouts do not work as advertised.
