The Best Lotto Apps for the iPhone

I had just purchased my California Super Lotto and Mega Millions tickets (the winning ones of course ;-), and thought to myself..... Self, there must be some good iPhone and iPad apps out there for getting Lotto results and tracking my tickets to see if I've finally won.

I downloaded (purchased) and tried quite a few but there were only a couple I would recommend.  I've decided to review 3 apps, 2 paid apps and 1 free app for the lottery enthusiast. Here are my top 3 picks for the iPhone.

Lottotopia for iPhone $2.99 (Top Pick)

Lottotopia has a great interface! This app lets you choose lottery games from just about any state and only shows you the ones you want.  Lottotopia also was a standout application because it had the ability to keep track your tickets and tell you if you've got a winner.  The interface was intuitive and easy to use.

Pros: Easy to use interface makes tracking your tickets a breeze.

Cons: No statistical data and no quick pick feature.

Game Screen

For each lottery game that you select you will have a screen that keeps you up to date on that game. You can swipe through each of games.

Ticket and Results Screen

This screen is for tracking your tickets for each game. Scroll up and down through all you tickets and draws.

Entering Your Tickets Screen

Entering your lottery tickets is really easy using this intuitive interface.
