Scanning Instructions Page

The MA Lottery 2nd Chance mobile app allows you to scan your non-winning BILLION DOLLAR EXTRAVAGANZA (Game Number 0387) instant tickets from the Massachusetts Lottery using an auto-focus smartphone camera instead of manually entering the tickets.

To scan your tickets, you will have to download the new MA Lottery 2nd Chance app. For Apple and Google, the mobile application supports current operating system versions minus 2.

All supported devices must have auto-focus and a camera with at least 5 mega pixels, but 8 mega pixels are preferable for ticket scanning to function properly.

To download this free app to your mobile device, just visit the iTunes App store or Android Google Play store and install the MA Lottery 2nd Chance mobile app.
