Welcome to my Lucky Day review – this will be interesting!
Is Lucky Day legit? Google Play is full of free scratchcard Apps like this now, but they also receive a large number of complaints.
Many people have left comments at the end of this post, sharing their own experience, so feel free to add yours too.
Some people claim Lucky Day is a scam and just a fake App that doesn’t pay out.
In reality, while there are real winners... But the chances of winning big are shocking, (I reveal some of the true odds further down!).
Tip – if you want to make 100’s or 1000’s of dollars per month, Apps won’t get you there – You can learn to make more here.
Can You Make Much Money With Apps?
Pretty much all of the apps I’ve reviewed online, have involved making a very small amount of money.
For example; some of the apps that I enjoy for fun, are Swagbucks Live and HQ Trivia.
But, these are just Apps where you can potentially win money from live trivia games.
Lucky Day runs along a similar vein, as this app is all about winning money too.
Except, you don’t need to answer questions to win. Nope, there is zero skill involved!
But can you actually win anything, that’s the question! Is Lucky Day the real deal?
I’ve had this app uploaded on my phone for months now – (update: since writing this, it was removed from APP store but is still available on android).
I will share with you what I have discovered so far!
What Is Lucky Day & How Does It Work?
Lucky Day is an app that you can download via Appstore or Google Play.
(Lucky Day are trying to return to Appstore at the moment….)
The idea behind this App, is that you have the opportunity to join FREE Sweepstakes, do free scratch cards, enter daily raffles and so on, with the possibility of winning cash.
Lucky Day will be supported by paying advertisers, which is how they’ll be able to give money away.
As a result, you will have to sit through some annoying Ads in order to play.
You will have a much, much higher chance of winning the Lucky Day currency – some virtual coins that you can use to join raffles and earn rewards, rather than cash.
However, you need millions of these coins to actually get anything.
For example; you need 5 MILLION coins just to get a $5 Itunes voucher.
I noticed one of the first scratchcards I did, I won $1 in real money. I imagine this happens to nearly everyone who first signs up.
You need $10 to withdraw, so you could have that $1 in your account indefinitely and not be able to take it out.
But for some people, seeing they have won $1, is enough to keep them playing on and hoping they get more.
*update: I signed up with a different email address and sure enough, did win that first $1 again. Did you win the first scratchcard when you signed up?
That was my only hint of actual cash though…… (let me know in the comments how much you have won!).
Stick with me and I will enlighten you with some of the actual odds of winning, further down in this post!

How Can You Win With Lucky Day?
Virtual Scratchcards:
You use your finger to scratch off the virtual layer on the scratchcard to reveal symbols – if you match three of the same you win.
There is always a bonus game at the end to win lucky day coins and this is what you will generally win.
Lotto:
Select 5 numbers and a lucky bonus ball to be in with the chance of winning cash, or lucky day coins. The jackpot is $100,000.
Blackjack:
There is a Blackjack game here, but it looks like you can only earn extra Lucky Day coins with this one. If you enjoy Blackjack, it’s a fun enough game.
Raffle:
Raffles range from $10 to $1000. In order to play the raffle, you need to buy tickets with any Lucky Day coins you have accumulated by playing the other games.
You can then spin a wheel to win additional tickets in the raffle.
Earning Extra Credits:
It seems like one of the most straight forward way to get to rewards, (albeit, needing to earn millions) is by earning those Lucky Day coins.
So, how can you make the most coins?
Invite Your Friends:
By inviting your firsts to join Lucky Day, you can earn 100,000 lucky day coins.
By doing….any of the games on Lucky Day:
By doing the multiple scratch cards and playing blackjack, you can usually make coins pretty quickly.
Some people have mentioned Lucky Day had slots…
I don’t know if they just don’t have them now, or if they’re not accessible to me in the UK.
By completing offers:
Lucky day has various offers online you can complete for coins.
By watching videos:
Not a great way to make coins at all, you can earn 1,000 coins for every video you view, (not a lot when you need millions – you will often get more doing a scratchcard).
Lucky Day Winners:
In the past, when I looked at recent winners in the app – I didn’t see a list of recent wins. I just saw this image below….
As you can see – it was just a list of what people recently withdrew winnings, whether by opting for a gift, gift card or cash.
a majority seemed to have one “gifts…” (didn’t state what at the time).
However, I noticed that on the APP – they do now have a winners section!!
This seems to show every time a winner cashes out.
There weren’t tonnes of huge winners, but there did seem to be a selection of people in the last few days winning anything from $50 – to $500+
With a majority seeming to win between $50- $200.
As you can see below – someone has cashed out in the last 10 hours. There appear to be some people cashing out every day.
Have you won on Lucky Day? How long were you playing for? Let me know in the comments!
What Are The Odds Of Winning With Lucky Day!?
I couldn’t find the actual information anywhere on their website, or even on the actual Apps themselves about winning odds.
A reader has informed me about some of the odds, but I’m unsure where he actually found the link to the information, so I have emailed them to confirm the details for me and I am just waiting to hear back.
*update… they never replied to me*
However, according to the information I currently have; some of the odds of winning are quite enlightening!
Here are a few odds:
LOTTO:
Chance of winning $5 – one in 20,277.82 games.
Chance of winning $50 – one in 5,461, 512.
Chance of winning the Jackpot – 1 in 175,223,510 game plays!!!!
It goes without saying, your chances of winning the Jackpot in the lotto are pathetically tiny.
You only have one in 5 and a half million chance of even winning the $50!
Scratchcards:
Odds of winning the scratchers is going to vary depending on how many people are actually playing the app.
Each year, they have a set amount of prizes to give away, in varying amounts.
They have 1,000,000 $1 prizes, (explains why everyone seems to get that initial $1 win).
You can see a list of the different prizes below.
So, there is one 10,000 scratchcard that can be won over a 12 month period.
Complaints About Lucky Day Online:
The worry here is that people have complained about not being paid by Lucky Day.
This is always a bad sign and things can tend to go down hill once the word gets out.
As well as not being paid, some people have claimed to have coins disappear, but maybe this was just an issue that sorted out.
Have you been paid recently by Lucky Day? Let me know in the comments.
On the App store, they have over 15 thousand reviews and 4.5 stars.
So, that’s not bad at all is it? It’s really good for an App like this to have maintained such a high score.
(At the time of writing, Lucky Day are taking a short break from the App Store, but will be back soon!).
They also have a decent rating via Google play.
As you can see… At the time of writing, over 45,000 people have rated and there are 4.5 stars!!
Lots of people enjoy playing this App, (even if they aren’t winning!!).
Beware: Scammers Pretending To Be Lucky Day On Social Media!
A problem people seem to be facing, is some people are being contacted by scammers who are pretending to be Lucky Day…
They send them a message an tell them they’ve won a big prize, but that they need payment upfront, like a processing fee.
If you’ve been contacted by someone claiming to be Lucky Day and you feel they’re trying to scam you, it’s best to contact Lucky Day directly here: support@luckydayappp.com
Some people also claim to have won money and then for that money to have disappeared from their account.
This may have simply been a glitch issue.
Lucky Day have been working on correcting any bugs.
There seems a shortage of people talking about winning a decent prize from Lucky Day…. so, if you won big here, please do share your winners story below!
Is Lucky Day A Scam, Or Legit Way To Win Cash Online?
Does Lucky day really pay? Well, it would seem that you can win. Even though your odds are very low, (see the comments for some examples).
I don’t think Lucky Day is a scam, from what I can see they have paid out to many winners.
I do think the chances of winning anything are very slim though, (crazy slim in the case of the bigger prizes!).
Buy hey, people play the lottery every day and the chances of winning that are ridiculous too. Right?
While the odds of winning for low… ultimately, this app is completely free to use.
So, if you enjoy it, there’s no harm in it.
While you can earn rewards by collecting their coins too, you need millions before you can even redeem a $5 voucher!!!
Although, if you play regularly, you can earn thousands and thousands of Lucky Day coins very easily.
So, it may not take all that long to make millions and cash out.
If you’re looking for a way to make some extra money online however, there are better ways to earn $5.
All being said, if you enjoy doing scratchcards, blackjack, or lotto…without splashing out on real cash… then you may still enjoy this app.
There is no doubt that tens of thousands of people online enjoy this app, some of the direct reviews online demonstrate this.
What About Making Money Without Apps… A Long Term Plan?
If you have been searching the app-store for ways that you can make real money, you will be disappointed!
While I wrote a post about 14 apps that can make you money….
They’re basically pocket change opportunities for the most part though.
As I mentioned at the start of this post, a majority of phone App opportunities there surround saving money, or sometimes winning money…
But as of yet, not real earning opportunities!
In order to make a part-time, or even full time income online, it will take more time and effort…
BUT, the great thing is, it’s possible to make money from things you’re already interested in.
For example; if you were interested in lotto, make money apps, saving money, or online casinos…
There is a way you could make money from all those interests and and many others, in a multitude of ways.
Growing an online business is not something that relies on luck – it takes real work, but it is worth it in the long run.
How do you do it? You can start learning here – it’s a training platform, where I started. The best part is, you can start for free.
That concludes my Lucky Day App review for today – but feel free to leave a comment, if you have anything to share!
Hi there Nat,
Thank you kindly for creating and sharing this article about lucky day app with us all, it is appreciated.
Personally, I think I will avoid this app as it does seem to be to difficult a la impossible to actually make any money with this app.
Is there any particular app or program that is possible to make or even earn money online from?
Most Apps I’ve reviewed have been pretty disappointing as far as actually making money goes.
The best sort, are really the money SAVING cashback apps. Which are good for savings, but not really making money like you’d want.
You’ll just be making pocket money for the most part. I recently did review moocash though, which seems to have a lot of different ways to earn, in comparison to most I’ve seen before.
Thanks for stopping by!
Nat
Hi Nat. My name is Ken and i have had the lucky day app on my phone for about 2 months now. I too won the original $1, but i still played. About 2 weeks ago i hit the $415 dollar raffle. It took about a week after that to receive my money on my PayPal account. Since then i have won an additional $12 , .25- 1.00 at a time. Being on disability, this was great. I like the app and plan on keeping it for a long time. It only takes a couple minutes a day to play, and the potential payout is totally worth it !
Hey there, thank you very much for stopping by Ken. It’s great to hear some positive feedback – $415! Awesome win and so good to hear that you managed to get that money via Paypal. Looks like you’ve been pretty lucky with it. Let us know if you have any other big wins and good luck to you 🙂
How many points did you invest in the raffle to win your money?
I have had it for 2 days and I got $1.50.
I to was awarded $1.00 the first time I played Lucky Day. Close to a year now and I’m up to $9.50. But this is what I find interesting. I have an IPhone, so my App Store is different from Android. To increase my chances of winning, I downloaded the app on my Android. Same payout right away. However, there are way more chances to win on the Android. Also, I have $9.75 after half the time playing.
Hey Vivian – interesting to know about the android version. I still can’t get on app store anymore, (they have told me they are working on it, but it’s been months). Will have to try and
get the android one. Think I can via chromebook! Many people say they get stuck on around 9.75… let us know if you get to the $10.
Played for over a year now. In this time I’ve won nothing and only cashed out ten dollars once. You’ll find once you’ve accumulated three million tokens, you will receive less tokens in the future until you’ve used the tokens you won. This along with the few dollars you receive after first signing up suggests that they chose what to give the player rather than the player winning by chance. The whole app is rigged. They are only after ad revenue and your email and phone number to sell to their sponsors. Which you WILL receive tons of spam emails, calls, and texts after playing lucky day. Not worth it.
Thanks for sharing Eric!
I’ve been stuck at $8.25 for at least 6 months. I just want to win $1.75 so I can cash out. I wish they would lower the cash out amount to $5. I have gotten 2 gift cards. If you want an Amazon gift card you have to grab it when they refill the cards.
I prefer to play the Givling Trivia App. They crowdfund student loan and mortgage debt up to $50k. Download the app and use invite code HB491241 to get started!
I haven’t tried the Givling app Heather – I will check it out. Is it open Worldwide do you know?
I have been stuck on this game for s least 5 months. It’s a awful game. I have over 10 million coins I can never cast them out always out of cash out card’s. 9 dollars 40 cents. I cannot get now where this game.. I have been on others games the same thing ..a waste of time..
I received a message from Lucky Day App via Instagram saying I won the $100,000 prize. In order to claim the prize the message says to send $225 for processing and insurance purposes.
Does that seem right or am I just being paranoid with all the scams on the internet now days?
This is a scam! Contact luckyday app directly and give them all the information you know regarding this.
Some scammers target users of apps like this on social media and pretend to be them.
Hello,
I have received a message on Instagram from luckydayapp-Simpson. Stating I won a prize valued at 250,000/ 7,000 for life, 5000 Amazon Card and a 2016 Mercedes Benz. They state I have to pay a FedEx carriage fee to be delivered to me today? Also stating that due to federal Law before funds can be release their is a process to go to.
This is a scam! If you can see the message in red at the top of my page… people on instagram/social media target people claiming to be LuckyDay and asking for a fee to send the prize, this is not LuckyDay. Contact them directly via their site/contact page and inform them about it as well. Whatever you do, do not send money.
fake
Scam
No it’s not right because on the app in faqs it says you’ll never have to pay a fee of any kind
Hallo there Nat,
I had those scammers try to contact me and ask me for money, saying it was clearance fee, so that I would receive my prize.
I decided to get a review on the program to know more about since I never knew it. Thanks for letting me know about the system and the scammers. I will be sure to avoid them. Good day.
Hi Dave,
Lucky Day aren’t scammers, but there are scammers pretending to be Lucky Day…. just thought I’d clear that up!
Some scammers are pretending to be them – so I am aware – contacting people via social media. So, seems you had the same experience! Sorry about that. Hopefully you did contact Lucky Day App to let them know.
All the best.
Hey Nat, Great Post! I have been playing Lucky Day via Google Play Store since November 2018. Within a month & half I accumulated $8.75 USD. It is almost May 2019 & I still have that same amount. I have though received millions of coins easily by just scratching the tickets, to the point I am just a few coins shy of 25,000,000 (equivalent to $25 gift card via Lucky Day App). I play every other day just about and I believe if you played every single day you could accumulate even more coins quicker. I definitely think you can win small prizes like gift cards easily & quickly but actual cash prizes, including the lotto, is almost nonexistent. Also they have updated the app since you wrote this post. You do not get a win & bonus chance anymore. You either win something or just get a bonus, not both. Also there is no link that shows recent winners any longer. Plus I’ve noticed when they are doing updates your coins dissapear for 24-48 hours but will reappear when the app is back up and running. I’ve contacted them directly twice due to this issue. Lastly they do not have black Jack or slots at all now too. So your chances for winning actual cash is even more slim. None the less I enjoy knowing I can definitely win coins every time I scratch a card and use that accumulation for gift cards. Easy free money, wont make you rich. Keep ya day job. Havent found/seen any real proof of any actual big winners anywhere else but on Lucky Day app. If I won big I would be posting it all over social media. Food for thought if they truly pay out big amounts.
Hey Erica thanks for the info!
I’ve wanted to update my post, but I’m with IOS and Lucky Day isn’t currently on the App Store… they tell me it will be back soon, but it’s been a while now, so I’m not sure what’s going on! As soon as it is back to app store though, I will be back on and updating again. Come back and let us know when you can get your $25 gift card! Thanks again for stopping by and taking the time to leave this comment, all the best & good luck! 🙂
So far ive been playing lucky day for less then a month. Ive earned $6.50 and im about too hit 3million in coins soon. I dont believe there is a chance to win anything big on there. Thats just my opinion. I could be wrong.
Hey Victoria,
Good to hear back from someone that has actually made something! $6.50 is better than nothing I guess. But it would be good to know that there are winners out there that have won big – haven’t heard from any yet.
All the best!
I’ve had a balance of $7.50 for I swear about 3-4 months. However, I don’t go on the app every day, maybe 2-3 times a week. You have to reach $10 to cash out so I’m wondering if it will even let me cash out without a hassle when I reach that amount.
Hi there,
Yes a lot of people have said the same thing about not reaching that threshold on Lucky Day. Let us know if and when you manage to get there!
I have reached $10 and cashed out it’s legit
Hi Jimmy, that’s great to hear – how long were you playing for?
I’ve been at 7.50 for almost two months now.
Ah hope you manage to get there soon!
I have had the $7.50 balance too. Can’t seem to get anything more. I did cash out 3million coins for a $2 Panera voucher. That was delivered to my email but haven’t gone to use it yet.
Hi Maria, thanks for stopping by. How long have you had that $750 balance? Good to hear you cashed out the $2 though. Hope you get there soon. Nat
Me too! I have been playing since Nov 2018 & it is now May 2019 and I play just about every other day and my cash balance has remained the same $8.75 since a month & half after I began playing. I truly believe (& seen others mention this too) that once you get close to the $10 payout amount, Lucky Day stops your cash winnings for a while. It’s how they make money, by NOT having everyone cash out quickly. They need us the users to keep trying to get to the $10 mark so we can continue to watch those repetitive ads from their sponsors so they can continue making money off of us.
I won $100 on a scratcher and had $6.00 and some change prior to winning and I cashed it all put on Sunday of last week and received an email shortly after saying that it would take up to 7 business days to be paid into my paypal account so I have 2 business days left to see if it’s real or not. Fingers crossed:)
Hi Veronica, thanks for stopping by to let people know and pleased to hear it!
Come back and let us know when the cash comes in! Nat 🙂
It actually got deposited into my PayPal account a few minutes ago!! Super awesome and I’ve been playing a little over a month. So far I’ve won $106.75 because it cashed out the accumulated winnings from scratchers and 6million coins which I ordered a prize for my daughter . My skepticism has been put to rest and I can personally say this app is NO SCAM 🙂 have a great day
Great to hear Veronica! Enjoy your winnings and come back and let us know if you get lucky again!
Take care 🙂
Thanks for your input, I’ve been looking for people to write about large winnings. I’m at $6.50, I’m going to happily continue playing.
Good luck!
I’ve had lucky day for about a month now. My $ winnings are at $7, and I have about 3 million coins. I have not invited friends and I have not yet given a review. All of my $ winnings have come from the bonus box under the scratcher. I have won a few of the scratchers that reward coins, the highest being $150,000. I have noticed that every time I win that way, the request to review the app comes up. But I’m holding off my rating the app for a few more months.
My thoughts are that it’s free. Takes very little time. If there’s even a tiny chance to win $, I’ll do it every day. I mean, no harm done if I’m wasting my time. I’ve always liked scratchers – and I think it’s great to be able to do them for free.
Just my experience:)
Great Jess, thanks for sharing your experience – a lot of people do read this post, so I am sure it will help them to
hear from people who have actually won. Let us know if you win much more and how it goes! Good luck for August!
Nat
I cashed in my first 10 $ and now have 9.75 I have also spent over 30 million coins 25$ home depot card a wolf hat blew a few on drawings but I see them as wasted so I will save them until I have enough for another 25$ home depot or wally world card.
Thanks for sharing Jeff – good to see you managed to get something out of it.
I’ve been using lucky day for 3-4 weeks and I finally accumulated $17.25 ($7.25 was from the bonuses and I won a $10 scratch card). I cashed out yesterday and received my money about 10-12 hours later. It’s not much, but it’s something. Now that I know it’s not a scam, I’ll definitely keep playing, I’m still hoping for a big payout. 🙂
Hey Justin, thanks so much for stopping by. It’s good to hear from some people who are winning, it’s good feedback for others that are wondering about this app. It’s good they paid out after 10 hours as well. Let us know if you get any more wins – Good luck!
Juntei os pontos para pegar dois gift cards e os peguei, mas já passou os 7 dias úteis e eles não me pagaram. E na segunda vez não chegou nem uma confirmação no meu email. Estou decepcionado com esse aplicativo. Translated: I got the points to get two gift cards and I got them, but it’s been 7 business days and they have not paid me. And the second time there was not even a confirmation in my email. I’m disappointed with this app.
Let us know how it goes Thiago.
Hi Thiago! We would be happy to troubleshoot the payment issue for you. We are available at support@luckydayapp.com for your reference.
I am at $8.00 so far and been playing for about 4 months. No more Small cash wins and haven’t won anything else cash related or otherwise. I used to be real excited to play this but not really now. My strategy now is to accumulate as many coins as I can to cash in for a gift card. (fingers crossed)
Hey Roy – well, I hope you manage to get some bigger wins on the way – good luck!
I have been playing the Lucky Day app for several months, I won a dollar here and there at first, then I got to 9.75, and have been stuck there. I redeemed my tokens for one of their prizes, I havent received it yet. But just this morning, I was sent a FB message saying I have been selected as the second place winner of a 169,000 prize and 2000 per week. Wow. I have just been asked to verify basic information so far, name, phone number, email, etc. I guess we will see what happens. I have been suspicious of this site from the beginning so if I am asked for any account info or to pay a fee……not gonna happen.
kim
Hi Kim – BEWARE PLEASE – scammers are messaging people on social media and claiming they are lucky day and that they have won a prize. Before you give any information to people on social media, go to the lucky day app and contact them directly from there to validate that you have won anything or not. Some people on social media have tried to scam people out of money and information. Let me know how it goes!
So sorry to hear this! These accounts are not associated with Lucky Day. We will never ask you for personal information or payment. Our official social media accounts are @luckydayapp. Thank you for letting us know. We’ll report this right away to have the account removed!
