The prior app was far more efficient and user friendly. After buying tickets you now have to back out through multiple steps to get back to main page to buy tickets for a different game. You can no longer purchase tickets directly from your bank account, now you first have to put money into the lottery app before being able to make a purchase, which is a huge PITA. First, for months the app has not worked for purchasing unless logged into WiFi and it STILL DOESN’T WORK in the new version. The new version of this app is absolutely terrible a perfect example of form over function.
#Chicago lottery update
Horrible Update That Still Doesn’t Function the scanner will not work on any old lottery tickets only new tickets after the upgrade. By law the Illinois Lottery must confirm your location in the state at the time of purchase. I understand how frustrating it is and I hope this helps. Once your (location) settings are adjusted the app and website work without a hitch. Turn off “Ask Websites Not To Track Me.” You will be able to scan tickets, your numbers will not disappear and you will be able to play multiple lines and check out. Make sure you allow the Illinois Lottery app access (if you have the app) otherwise you will have to adjust your browser settings (use Safari or google chrome) and again make sure your browser isn’t blocking the Illinois Lottery website (on your iPhone go to Settings and scroll down to your browser). On the iPhone go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.

Most, if not ALL of these problems can be solved by changing your settings either on your phone or computer (browser settings) to allow the Illinois Lottery to access your location. I read dozens of the reviews (all 1-star) with common problems. My previous rating was a 1-star, but I have since updated it to 5-stars after some troubleshooting.
