When downloading the app, why do you ask for so many permissions (like camera and location)?

Modified on Wed, 1 Jul at 9:20 AM

In order to get the most benefits from this app, it is necessary for the app to utilize the functions of your specific mobile device. Here are some examples of how the app’s permissions work.


Location – The app includes a retailer map locator so you can find the closest location to redeem your winning ticket. In order for this to function properly it needs to coordinate with the GPS installed on your particular mobile device.


Camera – The app interfaces directly with the camera functions of your phone in order to scan tickets. 


Device ID and Call Information – As a security measure, we access your device ID to validate drawing entries and it enables us to be alerted of potential hacks.
