Lottery.co.uk Android App Help

The Lottery.co.uk Results app is available to download from the Google Play Store. Follow the instructions below to download and set up the app.

• Go to the Google Play Store and hit the ‘Install’ button to download the app to your device.
• Select the app from your device’s home screen or app screen to open it.
• When the app first opens, choose which lotteries you wish to see results for, then press ‘Next’.
• You can also set the order in which the lotteries appear in the app by pressing and holding the four horizontal lines to the left of the lottery name and dragging it to the preferred position.
• Choose whether you wish to have notifications enabled or not. Example notifications include alerts for when lottery results are confirmed and for when jackpots reach a certain size. Hit ‘Finish’ once you have selected an option.

Once you’ve done that, the app’s home screen will launch, showing the latest lottery results for the games you selected.

Your preferences can be changed at any time – see the ‘Adjust Your Settings’ section on this page for further guidance on how to do that. Read the guide to App Notifications to learn how to personalise the alerts the app sends you.

You can tap the three horizontal lines in the top-left of the app to open the menu. From there you can navigate to all of the other features that the app offers; select ‘Home’ from the menu at any time to return to the main results screen.

The most recent winning numbers for all the lottery games you selected during set up or in the settings menu are visible on the app’s home screen. You can also see the date of the last draw and a countdown to the next one.

To view more information about a particular draw, select the ‘Draw Details’ button below the numbers. That will take you to a prize breakdown page for that draw, which shows what prizes were won and supplementary information such as which draw machine was used. Swipe left or right to view the full prize table.

The Ticket Scanner is one of the most useful features of the Lottery.co.uk Results app as it allows you to use your device’s camera to check whether you have a winning ticket. Follow the steps below to use the Ticket Scanner:

• Tap ‘Scan Your Lottery Ticket’ on the home screen or from the menu.
• Select ‘Allow’ when asked if you want to allow the app to take pictures and record video. His permission is needed for the Ticket Scanner to work, so if you deny the app permission you will be unable to scan your tickets.
• Point your camera at the QR code on your ticket. This is the black-and-white square below your numbers.
• The app will then tell you whether you have won a prize or not with that ticket.

If the scanner doesn’t seem to be able to read the ticket, make sure the image isn’t blurry. You may need to reposition your phone to get a clear picture. If you receive an error message saying that the scanner couldn’t check your ticket, you may need to use a Quick Check instead.

What is a QR code? - A QR (Quick Response) barcode is a type of barcode that can store much more information than a standard barcode. They can be used with smartphones and other devices for a variety of purposes, whether that’s to take you to a particular website or, as is the case here, to check your lottery tickets.

The Ticket Checker is a versatile tool that allows you to do a quick check of your lottery numbers or save your numbers to check them instantly in the future. Select ‘Checker’ from the app’s menu and then follow the steps below, depending on which option you want to use.

Quick Check

• Choose which lottery you want to check numbers for from the options at the top of the page.
• Pick your numbers in the grid(s) – simply tap a number to highlight it and tap it again to deselect it.
• Once you have selected the required numbers, the remaining numbers will turn grey and you will be unable to select any more.
• When that happens, choose which draws you want to check the numbers against by pressing the toggles at the bottom of the screen. All draws will be selected by default.
• Press the ‘Save Ticket’ button to check your numbers. Hit ‘Reset’ of you want to start again.
• Your numbers will then be checked against the results from the last 180 days. Any numbers you have matched will be highlighted and will show a green tick next to them. If you only want to see the draws in which those numbers won a prize, select the option at the top of the page.
• Finally, if you have won something, you can find advice on how to claim your prize by hitting the button below the results.

• It’s optional, but you can name your ticket to make it easy to find in future by tapping in the box and adding text.
• Choose which draw days you want to check your numbers against using the options at the bottom of the screen. All draw days will be checked by default.
