sorry todd, didn't mean to bash your idea. surprised it was met with all this fanfare. don't have smart phone and don't need one. i just assume that since the lottery has been around just about everywhere for the last 40 years that people should have a basic idea where the retailers are by now. not big on buying out of state lottery tickets on my way through one since one must return to cash it. if you're in your home state chances are minimal you would want to stop in a strange area to buy one...

I never buy tickets in a store. I only play by subscription, it is very convenient. All states should offer subscription services.

There is definitely a use for this. In strange and big cities especially.

I remember wanting to buy a ticket near Central Park and I had to search forever, there just was no 7-11 around, and finally found this tiny tiny store where only one customer could stand in there.

It's OK, some people are simply resistant to change. The same thing happened when the Internet started becoming big. Luddites (people who are opposed to technological change) called the Internet evil and bad. They kept thinking that right up until the point when they started to use it themselves. Then it became a good thing. So these folks now see mobile phones as the next evil thing. If they got over their phobias and started to use one, their perception would change.

Yes, we need apps. It's part of what normal people call progress. I AM REALLY SHOCKED THAT YOU JUST DRIVE AROUND AND PEER AT STOREFRONTS. Who needs cars? We used to get around just fine without cars and a bunch of other things. Progress comes in all shapes and sizes. Then again, WHO NEEDS SCHOOL, RIGHT?.

For those of us that work full time jobs in a big city and are busy people, stopping to peer at storefronts might cause wreck. If I happen to be in a different part of the city for a meeting or something, I can use the app. Most of us don't have the time to walk around either and look for retailers. Sometimes a retailer may be in a large building around the corner and you would not know that from looking at the outside of the building. So that is how things work in the big city.

Faber98, I think the point you're missing is that this app was created by Todd and his LP crew. So it is news worthy on LP. Besides, it's not everyday you get your app featured in a show on a TV network like Discovery. So allow them to bask in the glory of their success, even if the app is free.

Todd, take a bow please. Congrats

I'd recommend reading the news story above. It describes how the app is free, and lots of other stuff.

is it free? otherwise, you can just drive around and peer at storefronts and see the lottery signs which are well displayed. do we needs apps for everything we do now. everyone got along fine before without them. unless you are in a strange area totally useless app. and you have to upgrade to windows 10 to get it from what i read. anyone who needs this for their own area needs more help than just an app. still maintaining it's too ridiculous to even consider. maybe if could purchase the tickets...

Well, now you CAN find lottery retailers. And you don't need to use a smartphone if you don't want to. Any Widnows 8.1 or Windows 10 PC can use the app. You can find it on the Windows Store.

i find it ludicrous that someone who wants to play the lottery cannot find a place to do it. you would have to be helen keller to not find one and even she wouldn't have a problem. don't people buy food. every grocery store has a lottery terminal in it and every gas station and convenience store also. everyone is glued to those dumb-ass smart phones so i guess they are unaware about everything except someone tweeting them about what they had for lunch and tweeting back that they almost ran over...
