Louisiana Lottery launches a smartphone app. Lottery spokesperson Kim Chopin says the app will help make lottery transactions easier and contactless.
“It is going to allow our players to create digital play slips on their mobile phone that can be scanned at retail to print the ticket,” said Chopin.
Those digital play slips can be created with various number selection methods and saved until a player visits a retailer.
While tickets will not be able to be purchased on the phone, Chopin says the app adds more convenience in allowing players to manage their lottery play on their phone as they can also use the app to find out if you have a winning ticket.
“The app is going to give players a chance to scan their own tickets to determine if they are winners and the amount of the win, so allowing a lot more transparency,” said Chopin.
Chopin says the app has been in the works for a while but says that the app’s ability to reduce the amount of contact between lottery retail workers and players make this app more needed than ever.
“To be able to come out with it now is fantastic. We’re really excited about it and it was already going to be quite a convenience for players, but I think it’s even more relevant now,” said Chopin.
