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!
Dennis says
First few minutes playing and won $500, tried to pay out, took 7 working days. Now it’s working day 9 and they took $97.82 spent on some company in california. Super weird, when I called the company (from Europe) somebody ordered on my name, bank account number (IBAN) only to pick it up (not to deliver it to home adress) so I have contacted California police to ask them to do further investigations…..
Nat says
Hi Dennis – sorry, I’m a bit confused! Did you withdraw $500 from luckyday directly to PayPal? or a bank account? Sounds like your bank details have been compromised and used to make these purchases – sounds pretty weird though. Let us know how the investigations go!
Fawn says
I won $5,000.00 on the March raffle They sent the $ to my PayPal account. seriously $5k ! I love this app!
Nat says
$5000 – congratulations!!! Good to hear from a big winner. I’ve not seen the updated APP – since it’s been taken out the App Store at the moment and is only on android. Hopefully back on IOS soon. Thanks for stopping by!
Charmaine says
I’ve been playing a month now and won 5 dollars on the daily lotto. Up to $9.25! I wont cash out at 10 bucks though waiting for the big one lol having fun! 🙂
Nat says
Haha thanks for letting us now Charmaine…. 75 cents! Let us know when you get there! 😀
Angela says
Hi, thank you for all the information. I discovered that when an ad pops up midplay, I can force stop the app (iPhone 6s) and restart the app and don’t have to watch the ad and the scratchers don’t seem affected. It only takes a couple seconds to do and I find it much less annoying than a 30 second ad. For the still ads that have an X in the corner I just tap the X.
Nat says
Hi Angela! Thanks for the tip.
Leslie Carrier says
I truely wonder about people winning big prizes but i have slowly over time won $10.00 at 0.25-0.75 cent amounts. It posted to my pay pal right away. Along with that i got an email saying for extra tokins post a pic of myself saying i won with the ammount. I have also ordered an item with tokins and got it as well. So it is a legit app but getting rich will never happen. Its just a fun little thing and well im about to cash out another $10.00 soon (Im at 9.75). Hope that helps! Have fun!
Nat says
Hey Leslie – thanks for taking the time to comment.
I agree with you, it’s a bit of fun isn’t it and if you win well… That’s a bonus!
Good luck with reaching your $10. I’m hoping it comes back to App Store soon, I’ve not been able to play for ages 🙁
Lauren Todd says
How long had you been playing and how many tokens did you win before you won the big prize of $5000?
Shelly Toliver says
I’m fairly new to the app. I’m only five months in and I really enjoy it! I never really signed up to use the app to get cash(that would be nice, and I’ll take it), the gift cards were more of a draw to me, and I’ve redeemed many Target gift cards during my short time using this app.
Nat says
That’s really good to hear Shelly! Glad you’re enjoying it 🙂
Barb says
I just cashed out my coins and received a $25 Macys gift card. Took me several months of playing everyday but hey, I got a couple shirts from Macys free! Previously, I cashed out for an eyelash curler for my daughter. It only takes a few minutes a day, is fun and who can complain about free stuff from Macys?
Nat says
Glad you managed to cash out – thanks Barb!
Heather says
Hey. So I am just curious if anyone else has noticed the numbers that are in the left hand bottom corner of their scratch tickets. I have been documenting these numbers everyday for the last 3 months (I have waaaay too much time on my hands and I look to find a pattern in everything). I know that the second set of numbers is the date of those specific cards, but I am baffled at the first set of digits. I can tell you that my first set of numbers are usualy the same set of numbers, though vary from day to day. For example I tend to get 16, 17, 264, 267, 279, 21, 25, and so on. I have never received a 1 and just recently started getting 311. Wondering what this has to do with winning, chances of winning, or some sort of algorithm they use to choose a winner. Just curious?. Thanks.
Nat says
That’s interesting Heather – I hasn’t noticed, but it would be good to hear others opinions.
Edward G. says
All those winners are fake no one really wins those large amounts, I give it you may get $10 after months of continuous playing, but come on !!! you expect to win $1000, or $5000 when you don’t hits those $2 or $3 scratches.
I had $5 on my account, and decide it uninstall it, to hell with it, I was being taking or a fool.
Once I tracked on of those winner names, found her FB and no comment about it, anyone winning $500 would make a big deal about it !! not a word.
Also the lotto raffle, are we so naive to thinks that the company is going to give you more than $200 hundred thousands? if so their profits must be in the millions, give me a break !
Andrea F says
Have had the app for prob around a year and half (stopped playing regularly during this past winter, but I still open it every rare now and then). I’ve been stuck at $7.75 for prob the last 9-10 months and haven’t moved since. Really just a waste of time.
