Yes, there is an official Texas Lottery app! It's the sanctioned mobile application for players. I use it all the time to quickly check my draw game and scratch tickets. You can find it on both the Apple App Store (as confirmed in the original information) and the Google Play Store. It’s the one developed by the official vendor and it's the only one you should trust for checking tickets, seeing jackpots, and entering those second-chance drawings. Don't rely on third-party apps for official information—make sure the one you download is the official one.
The app itself doesn't play the lottery or draw the numbers—it's a tool for checking tickets and entering promotions. People definitely win using tickets they checked with the app! The app’s primary function, "Check My Ticket," instantly tells you if your physical, purchased ticket is a winner, big or small. The app also lets you enter non-winning eligible scratch tickets into promotional second-chance drawings (the Luck Zone), and people absolutely win prizes through those drawings, even though they aren't the main jackpots. I've personally won a small prize from a Luck Zone drawing entry that I submitted by scanning a ticket with the app.
Yes, the Texas Lottery Official App is completely free to download and use. I never had to pay to install it on my phone. The entire purpose of the app is to give players free tools—like checking ticket results, getting jackpot updates, and entering the second-chance drawings—to manage the physical tickets they purchase separately at a retailer. There are no listed in-app purchases or subscription fees within the app itself.
Yes, the download for the Texas Lottery Official App is readily available on the official app stores. You can download it for free right now. It's available on the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad, and on the Google Play Store for Android devices. The latest version was recently updated in late 2025, confirming it is an actively maintained and available application.
Yes, the Texas Lottery Official App is available for Android devices. You can find it and download it directly from the Google Play Store. I use it on my Samsung phone, and it works great for checking my tickets and getting the latest jackpot alerts. It has all the same features as the iPhone version, including the barcode scanner and the Luck Zone second-chance entries.
