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!
Arman says
Hi there!
I just wanna say Avoid this app as soon as possible! I have been playing this app for 7 months straight everyday and never cashout a single dollar, at the beginning they keep giving you $0.25-$1 sometimes but when you reached $6-8 it will get stuck because the minimum payout is $10 so you can’t do anything with it unless you hit the requirement which is not going to happen. Recently with the new update they removed the instant rewards in most locations so you won’t be able to exchange your coins/chips into PayPal money!
Nat says
Hi Arman, thanks for taking the time to comment! How long have you been stuck? I didn’t realise that about the update, I will go and check it out. There must be so many people playing this app, I would have thought more people would come forward who had actually won something, or managed to withdraw money. :/
Lucky Day says
Hi Arman! We’ve given out more than $5 million in prizes and have 30,000 winners each week! The best way to improve your chances is to keep playing! Any user in the world can cash out to PayPal once they have reached $10.00. However, physical rewards and gift cards are now restricted by region. Feel free to reach us at support@luckydayapp.com if you have any questions!
aaron says
ive accumulated 7.75 over the last month or so and have 3 mil coins. something to do in your free time i guess…i wonder what the odds are for wining bigger prizes though
Nat says
I’d like to know that myself aaron – no none that’s responded here has won much. Plus, there are scammers who contact people on social media claiming they’ve won a big prize with lucky day, so be cautious of that. Let me know if you win any more!
Lucky Day says
Hi Aaron! Our odds are published in our Terms under Settings! Feel free to reach us at support@luckydayapp.com for your reference.
Kelly Sheats says
So what kind of odds is it when you’ve been playing night & day for well over a year or so & been stuck on just shy of $10. The majority of the time? I’ve traded in coins a few times but don’t even have Paypal option anymore & the Amazons always out. I’ve never seen this ‘bonus’ box they’re talking about. I believe people have won but it seems to be the same ol faces & different stories.. My luck.
Nat says
The odds of winning anything are very slim kelly. I have heard of some winning more than once – but maybe they are playing 24/7 – who knows. Either way, I wouldn’t recommend playing all the time, for the mass majority it will just be a waste of your time. Time better spent trying to make money long-term in other ways!
Concerned Citizen says
Been playing for a month. 1st day won $10, but it only paid $1. Then, the following day, I won on another ticket $0.25…??? I have been using all coins won for daily drawing bc you can have multiple tickets @ $10,000 per ticket. Most people do not know, but most apps ARE scams. Some act legit like Lucky day, but they offer ad scam apps to obtain information. Most apps are scams, especially when they get you to sign in with a social media app like Facebook. This allows them to obtain your username and password so they can get into your account. Why? Not only for personal info, but they have sweat houses that login and like, dislike, add friends, tweet, especially US accounts bc selling Facebook likes, lnstagram likes, YouTube views and followers ect is BIG BUSINESS. Everyone wants to be well known and Americans will pay HUGE money to get their social accounts to look like they are established. I was making $15k per month at one point selling fake likes ect… I gave it up bc its shady. Anyway, my whole point is stay away from apps and any social media bc it’s all about identity theft and making money in shady ways… You’re welcome people.
Nat says
There are definitely some bad apps out there, or ones that are really just a waste of time. They aren’t all bad though, there are some OK apps that can make, (or save) you a small amount of money. For the most part though, I wouldn’t really bother with them if you don’t enjoy them. There aren’t any apps available at this time where you can definitely make good money, (that I know of)…. aside from if you win some jackpot on some of these apps, like HQ trivia when they have a big game – but then you need to be a trivia genius practically lol. Thanks for stopping by!

Nicol says
Been playing over a month 1$ don’t seem to win at all, just chews my data, so losing at the end of the day
Nat says
Hey Nicol – yep the odds of winning anything significant are very slim.
Ashley says
I have been playing for several months now everyday… I have been stuck on 8.00 for about a month now? I’m at 7+ million coins and have not cashed out anything so far.
Nat says
Sorry to hear that Ashley! Thanks for stopping by and letting people know though. If you could come back and let us know when you do manage to cash out, (if you do) that would be great. Good luck!

Kenny Keicher says
I have been playing on Lucky Day for a couple of months. So far, I’ve gotten $7.25 in my account, but I was wondering if anyone else ever noticed that sometimes the $100,000 Jackpot Lotto numbers exceed the range of numbers that you can pick from? I was playing the Lotto until one day I noticed that two of the winning numbers were 51 and 52. Unfortunately, you can only pick numbers between 0 and 49, so I’d say that there’s not much chance that anyone is going to win the jackpot. They were probably hoping that nobody would notice this.
Nat says
That’s interesting to hear kenny – I haven’t heard of that before. Maybe someone else has also experienced this and will leave a comment. I’m hearing a lot of people saying they almost reach the $10 target and then don’t win any more… please do come back and let us know when you reach $10 and if you can withdraw your winnings. Nat
Dylan says
It lets me pick from 0-59?
Angela says
Not true. I play 55 all the time. Not sure why you think it stops at 49 but it doesn’t.
Netta says

Nat says

Netta says

Nat says
Hi there – three weeks is a long time. Have you tried contacting them and have they got back to you? I hope you receive it soon! Let us know how it goes! Nat
Antonetta Jones says
Nat…yea we sent emails and got back no reply…so im starting to think this app is crap…plus i realized that on the sweepstakes tickets the winners for the 50 bux is drawn daily and i see the same names every cpl days…n i kno it is cuz one of the names is a weird name..they wuldnt be winning 3xs in a month….lol so nope ik this app is fake..in my mind its official..but ill still do it cuz 1 it passes the time and 2 i still hve hopeful chance i might win something…lol idk tho!
Nat says
Hi Antonetta!
That’s interesting what you say about the Lucky Day raffle – what do you think about all the other daily winners they are
posting on there now for the cash prizes?
I would have thought that someone would have replied on here that had managed to cash out by now, or had actually received a prize!
Seems most people just get stuck before they’ve even reached the $10! :/ Well, update us if you do hear back!! Nat
David says
Hello.
I have played Lucky Day for over a week now, This day is day 8 on my original phone that I tested the app on and day 5 on my daily driver.
On the original phone, I have collected $6 dollars. I have won two $2 scratch offs. and the rest were accumulated by the bonus. I do try to play every day, only missing one day (labor day).
On my daily phone, I have collected $1.50. That’s mainly from the first “hook” win of a dollar and one bonus win. On this phone, I have got 1.2 million coins and I’m going to keep collecting points and coins.
Many apps that I’ve tried, (Applike, Smores, etc) slow down their points or whatever payout they have before you can collect your winnings once you have cashed out the first time. I’ll wait and test things out until the end of September, trying to play as much as I can, spending 30 minutes a day (morning and evening).
I do want to comment that it seems like doing the surveys from the partner sites that they have may influence if I get more bonuses. If not, it does give me a couple hundred or thousand coins for the prizes later on.
I will return and post an update after a full month of playing.
Nat says
Hey David, thanks for taking the time to comment! That’s interesting what you say about doing partner surveys – plus, if it gives you extra coins as well, it’s worth a go. I hope to hear you’ve reached cash-out soon and have made some wins. 🙂
Rozzi says
Hai Nat,
Translated!::
I find it strange with the Lucky Day application that the list of winners The majority are people from U.S almost entirely, it makes me think whether the chance of winning in this application is so small for users from other countries, or the list of winners has been arranged in such a way.
Nat says
Hi Rozzi, yes that’s true. Interesting point, thanks for sharing.
Lucky Day says
Hi Rozzi! We have 30,000 winners each week from around the world! We’re working on featuring all of our international winners soon! We are available at support@luckydayapp.com if you have any additional questions.
Scott says
Hello, I’ve made like 5.75 mostly in the bonus section, I don’t think you can win more than 1.00 in the scratchoffs.
Nat says
Thanks Scott – hope you reach the payout threshold soon. Let us know if/when you do!
Jessy says
I’ve had the lucky day app since it came out (it useto have a prize wheel where you could win small change (.25 cents to 10$) and credits, it had a couple scratch cards and blackjack, I’ve used it on and off and made 25$ so far, but I took about three months off when they updated the app. Started back up on it today and already won 3.75$ and a million coins.
Nat says
That’s good to hear then Jessy. So, did you actually cash out yet and get your money? Thanks, let us know if you win some more.
