The NJ Lottery app provides real-time draw results and prize breakdowns for all New Jersey lottery games. Designed for local players seeking immediate access to winning numbers and payout information without visiting retailers.

Detailed Review

The NJ Lottery mobile application serves as the official digital platform for New Jersey lottery participants, delivering immediate access to draw results and comprehensive prize distribution data. Developed by The Lottery Company, this iOS application positions itself as an essential tool for players who require timely information across all state-sanctioned lottery games including Pick 6, Powerball, Mega Millions, and five additional draw games. The application's core functionality centers on providing detailed draw results within minutes of official number announcements. Each game features complete prize breakdowns showing winner counts and payout amounts per prize tier, enabling users to immediately understand the distribution of winnings beyond just the jackpot amounts. The ticket scanning feature allows users to check physical tickets against winning numbers, though some users have reported technical inconsistencies with this functionality across different game types. User experience reflects a straightforward, utilitarian interface designed for quick navigation rather than aesthetic appeal. The layout prioritizes immediate access to the latest results with clear game categorization and timestamp information. Real-world usage patterns indicate most users open the application immediately following draw times, with secondary usage occurring during retailer visits for ticket verification. The absence of gambling functionality maintains compliance with state regulations while focusing purely on information delivery. User feedback reveals generally positive sentiment with a 4.69/5 rating, though specific technical issues have been documented. Reviewer sdm120 (May 13, 2022) reported scanner functionality working for scratchers but failing for draw games, suggesting backend inconsistencies. Meanwhile, VG325 (January 31, 2023) praised the detailed draw information, stating they 'enjoy knowing all the details of every draw.' Historical reviews like sandy81676's (May 21, 2011) initially criticized the absence of Powerball and Mega Millions, though these games have since been integrated. The application demonstrates clear strengths in comprehensiveness and speed of official results delivery, though occasional technical glitches and the purely informational nature represent limitations. Ideal for regular New Jersey lottery participants who require immediate access to verified results without visiting retail locations or browsing multiple websites. The absence of account integration or digital play options maintains its narrow focus as an information utility rather than a full gambling platform.

Called the app support line. Was told I’m the only person that complained, so the problem must be my phone. Yeah right… The scanner works for scratchers but not draw games. You’re telling me my iPhone can tell the difference?! Wasn’t caused by an update, so something in the backend broke the scanner. As many - including me have asked for years, WHY ISN’T THERE A REAL SUPPORT LINK? We shouldn’t have to report issues in a review. May 13 update - scanner broken again Called the app support line.

Who’s brain decided to fix something that wasn’t broken. Can’t you find something else for those brainiacs to do?. Why doesn’t any big hit get won in the inner Cities like Newark N.J. We play as well. Johnna Why Who’s brain decided to fix something that wasn’t broken. Can’t you find something else for those brainiacs to do?.

Update: I just found out that they have separate apps for PP & MM. I shouldn't have to download TWO additional app to get results for games that are in NJ. I know this is a free app, but I can't give it 5 stars until Mega Millions & Powerball are added to the app. Both games can be purchased in NJ so they are part of the NJ Lottery & should be included. I did give it 4 stars because the graphics are nice & easy to read and the app always updates. It's nice to not have to go to the lottery website to check my #'s - that is until I play PB or Mega because I don't want two more apps that only do one thing each on my phone. Please add these games which should have been here since this apps launch. Thanks! Separate Apps Update: I just found out that they have separate apps for PP & MM.
