Can I scan my ticket to see if it’s a winner?

How do I scan for Check-a-Ticket?
You can watch the How to Scan Check-A-Ticket for Android video here or the How to Scan Check-A-Ticket for iOS video here. Tap on "Check-A-Ticket" in the menu and hold your device so that you can see your ticket on the screen. Then keep your camera over the barcode. The scanner will automatically recognize if it is an eligible Check-A-Ticket barcode and confirm your entry.
Why is the scanner not recognizing the barcode?

First, make sure you are scanning the unique barcode on the FRONT of the ticket. There are other reasons why the unique Check-A-Ticket and 2nd Chance barcode may not be scanning. These may include:

* Light reflecting off the ticket. 
* A smudged or badly printed barcode. 
* Torn or damaged ticket. 
* Over-scratched ticket. 
* Dirty camera lens. 
* Older camera with low resolution. 
* The 2nd Chance code was previously scanned and confirmed.
