What it does

Everything for your ticket, nothing extra

Four simple jobs, done well: scan it, check it, share it, and know what you’d keep.

Scan

Scan a ticket in seconds

Point your camera at a ticket and the captain reads the numbers. Scanning runs on your phone, so it works offline.

  • Fix any number on the review screen
  • Type a ticket in by hand if you prefer
  • Online tickets work too

Check

Every draw, checked for you

Your saved tickets are matched against each new Powerball and Mega Millions draw. If you win, you’ll know.

  • Current jackpots and latest numbers
  • Past draws and ticket history
  • Checking happens on your phone

Pool

Run a fair pool with your crew

Start a pool, invite your crew with a link, and keep an honest record of who chipped in and who is owed what.

  • Everyone sees the same ledger
  • Members agree to the pool rules in the app
  • Pool tickets are encrypted end to end

Pick and plan

Pick numbers, and see what you’d keep

Hand-pick a line, take a quick pick, or try Smart Pick and the Lotto Wheel. Prize estimates show cash or annuity after tax for your state.

  • Smart Pick avoids crowded number combinations
  • Lotto Wheel spreads your numbers across tickets
  • After-tax estimates for your state

Privacy promise

Your numbers stay yours

Captain Lotto is built privacy-first. Your tickets, history and settings live on your phone, not on our servers.

No account to play

Scan, check and pick without signing up. You only sign in if you start or join a pool.

No tracking

No analytics, no ads and no third-party trackers. We don’t build a profile of you.

Checked on your phone

Matching a ticket against a draw happens on your device. We never learn what you played.

Pools are encrypted

Pool names, notes and tickets are encrypted on your phone. The key lives in the invite link, never on our servers.
