Frequently Asked Questions

Can I scan my ticket to see if it’s a winner?

YES! Effective May 21, 2018 you can use Check-A-Ticket in the Mobile App to scan all Scratchers and Draw game tickets to see if you are a winner. The scanning feature is also available for 2nd Chance submissions.
Do I need to allow access to my camera?

Yes. When you download the California Lottery Official App it will ask you to allow the app to access your device’s camera. If you failed to do this during the initial launch of the app, please go to Settings, find the California Lottery Official App, and turn on the camera. The scanning feature will not operate if you do not allow this access.

Where do I find the unique barcode for Check-A-Ticket on Lottery tickets?

On Scratchers® tickets, the unique barcode is located in different locations on the FRONT of each ticket. On all Draw games the barcode is on the front of the ticket.
Why is the scanner not recognizing the barcode?

First, make sure you are scanning the unique barcode on the FRONT of the ticket. There are other reasons why the unique Check-A-Ticket and 2nd Chance barcode may not be scanning. These may include:

* Light reflecting off the ticket.

* A smudged or badly printed barcode.

* Torn or damaged ticket.

* Over-scratched ticket.

* Dirty camera lens.

* Older camera with low resolution.

* The 2nd Chance code was previously scanned and confirmed.
