Hi there! I understand you're having trouble with the Texas Lottery Official App not being able to read your ticket codes on your iPhone running iOS 18.7. To help you better, could you please tell me if the app gives any error message when you try to scan the ticket? Also, have you noticed if the issue happens with all tickets or just specific ones?

Meanwhile, here are some steps to try that often resolve ticket scanning problems:

1. Make sure the app is updated: Go to the App Store and check if there's an update available for the Texas Lottery Official App. Running the latest version ensures that bug fixes and improvements are applied.

2. Good lighting and camera focus: When scanning, ensure the ticket barcode is well-lit and your camera lens is clean. Hold the phone steady and allow it to focus fully on the barcode.

3. Check for physical damage: If the barcode on the ticket is scratched or smudged, the app may not read it properly. Gently wiping the ticket with a soft cloth can sometimes help improve scan accuracy.

4. Restart the app and phone: Close the app completely (swipe up from the bottom and swipe the app away), then reopen it. If that doesn’t work, try restarting your iPhone.

5. Check internet connectivity: The app needs internet access to verify ticket codes. Confirm your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data.

6. App permission for Camera: Go to Settings > Privacy > Camera and ensure the Texas Lottery Official App has permission to use the camera.

If you have tried these steps already or if the problem continues, please let me know. I can then guide you through some advanced troubleshooting or help you contact app support if necessary.

Are you able to try these out and see if they help?
