3. Check Camera Settings: Ensure your device's camera settings are configured correctly. For some devices, you might need to enable specific accessibility features or permissions for the app to access the camera effectively.

4. Improve Lighting: Ensure you are in a well-lit area when attempting to scan your tickets. Poor lighting can hinder the camera's ability to focus on the ticket's barcode.

5. Maintain Distance: If you experience focusing issues, try moving the camera further away from the ticket before attempting to scan it. Some users have found that adjusting the distance helped the camera focus better - learn more.

6. Use a Flat Surface: Place the ticket on a flat surface to minimize movement, which might be unsettling for the camera. This can enhance the scanner’s ability to read the barcode.

7. Rescan Multiple Times: Sometimes the scanner might fail due to various reasons. If it doesn’t work the first time, try rescanning the ticket a few times before concluding it's a problem with your setup.

8. Restart Your Device: A simple restart can clear temporary glitches that might be affecting the app or camera functionality.

9. Contact Support: If none of the above solutions work, reach out to Arizona Lottery support for assistance. They may be able to diagnose further issues with the scanner or the app’s functionalities - learn more.
