Scan a ticket
Point the camera and the captain reads your numbers. Text recognition runs on your phone, so a scan works offline and the image never has to leave the device.
Never miss a win.
Scan your Powerball and Mega Millions tickets, check every draw automatically, and run a pool with your crew — all from your phone.
What the captain does
Everything you need to play, check and share a lottery ticket — and nothing you don’t.
Every draw, checked
Current and past results for Powerball and Mega Millions. Your saved tickets are matched against each new draw automatically, so a win finds you.
Run a pool
Start a crew, collect for each drawing, and share the tickets you bought. Everyone can verify a ticket by its barcode, so nobody has to take the captain’s word for it.
Pick your numbers
Hand-pick a line, take a quick pick, or use Smart Pick to steer away from the crowded combinations that split a jackpot. The Lotto Wheel spreads a pool of numbers across tickets with a guarantee.
Know what you’d keep
Prize estimates account for federal and state tax and the cash-versus-annuity choice, so the number you see is closer to the number you’d bank.
Built for two phones
Native on iPhone and native on Android — not one codebase stretched across both. Each app uses its own platform’s camera and text recognition.
Your numbers stay yours
Captain Lotto is built privacy-first, and that is an architecture decision rather than a policy paragraph.
No account, ever
There is no sign-up and no login. Your tickets, picks and history live on your phone.
No tracking
No analytics SDKs, no advertising identifiers, no third-party trackers. We do not build a profile of you, because we do not collect one.
Checked on your device
Matching your ticket against a drawing happens locally. The app can tell you that you won without ever reporting what you played.
Pools are encrypted
Pool ticket images are encrypted on the captain’s device and readable only by members holding the pool’s key. That key travels in the invite link and never reaches our servers.
Play responsibly
Captain Lotto tracks tickets and helps a group organise a pool. It never sells lottery tickets, and never handles, holds or transfers money. Playing the lottery is for adults — if it stops being fun, the National Problem Gambling Helpline is free and confidential at 1-800-522-4700.
