Hi there! I understand your Ohio Lottery app isn’t scanning your ticket’s barcode. Let’s get this sorted out together.

Could you tell me a bit more about what happens when you try to scan? For example:
- Does the app open the scanner but fail to read the barcode?
- Are you getting any error messages?
- Have you checked if the app has permission to access your camera?

Meanwhile, here are some steps to try:
1. Camera Access: Make sure the Ohio Lottery app has permission to use your device’s camera. On Windows, check your privacy settings to confirm the app can access the camera.
2. Ticket Positioning: Hold the ticket steady and place the barcode fully inside the scan window the app shows. Good lighting and steady hands help the scanner read correctly.
3. Inspect the Barcode: Check if the barcode on the ticket is clean and not damaged or scratched. Sometimes a light wipe with a dry cloth helps.
4. App Restart: Close the app completely and reopen it to reset the scanner functionality.
5. Internet Connection: Ensure you have an active internet connection, as the app may need to validate the ticket online.
6. App Update: Confirm you are using the latest version of the Ohio Lottery app, as updates often fix bugs related to scanning.

If you have tried some of these already, just let me know which ones, and I’ll help dig deeper or explore other solutions.

Are you able to share the exact error or behavior you see when scanning? That will help me assist you more precisely.
