• General scanning problems

  If you can't get tickets to scan even after following the in-app instructions, there are a few more things you can try.

  First, and most importantly, make sure that you have network connectivity and the ticket is lying on a flat surface with even light (doesn't need to be bright light just as long as it's not coming in at a strange angle.)

  Next, there are a wide variety of lottery ticket printers and some print numbers taller or wider than others. To correct for this, you can change the size of the scanning window while scanning: just press the menu button while in scan mode to toggle the window bigger or smaller.

  If scanning still doesn't work after doing this, please email aaron@analogapps.com with a picture of your ticket - in rare cases it's a ticket format that we've never seen before, but we're always more than happy to modify the software to accomodate new ticket printers.

• How do I enable Power Play for my numbers?

  When editing numbers, simply check the "Power Play" checkbox. If you're scanning numbers, you must edit them afterwards to apply Power Play to any numbers that you've purchased a Power Play option for.
