If you bought a lottery ticket in Alberta and want to know if you won without going to a store, you can check it online using the Lotto Spot app. This free app is the official digital ticket checker for Alberta lottery players and works for all lottery games, including draw-based games like Lotto 6/49 and Lotto Max, plus scratch-and-win Zing tickets. The app lets you scan your ticket’s barcode and get instant results showing if you won and how much money you claim.

The best way to check your ticket is by downloading the free Lotto Spot app from the Apple App Store. Once installed, open the app and tap the “Scan” icon at the bottom of the screen, then position your phone camera over the barcode at the bottom of your ticket (or under the latex coating on scratch tickets). The app will scan your ticket in seconds and immediately tell you if you won—for example, if you scanned a $5 Zing ticket and matched the winning amount, the app shows “You Won $5” right on your screen. You can check tickets as long as they were purchased in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, or the Northwest Territories.

The Lotto Spot ticket checker works 23 hours a day, from 5 AM to 4 AM Central Time (which is 4 AM to 3 AM Mountain Time in Alberta), so you can check your ticket almost anytime except during the one-hour maintenance window. If you bought your tickets directly through the Lotto Spot app instead of at a store, you don’t even need to scan them—just log into your account, click “My Tickets,” pick the draw date, and the app automatically shows if you won. For instance, if you bought a $10 Lotto Max ticket through the app on June 13, 2026, when you open “My Tickets” on June 16, you’ll see right away if your numbers matched and won $50 or more.

If you don’t want to use the app, Alberta offers several other ways to check your ticket. You can use the self-ticket checker scanners at any lottery retailer in Alberta, which scan your barcode and show results on the screen just like the app. You can also check the winning numbers printed and posted at retail centres near the lottery machines, or call the official Winning Numbers Lines: 780-459-5100 for Edmonton areas or 403-275-8101 for Calgary areas to get the most recent draw results. Another option is to visit the Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis (AGLC) lotteries website at aglc.ca/gaming/lotteries and manually compare your ticket numbers to the official winning numbers posted there.

For people who prefer checking tickets quickly without downloading anything, the self-checker scanners at lottery stores are the fastest option. These machines are located right next to lottery ticket displays in most Alberta convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores, and they work just like the app by scanning your barcode and showing “You Won $X” or “Not a Winner” on their screen. If you bought a $20 scratch ticket and won $100, the scanner will flash “You Won $100” in bright green letters, making it easy to see your prize immediately without needing a smartphone or internet connection.

The Lotto Spot app is the fastest and most convenient way to check your Alberta lottery ticket online from anywhere in the province, whether you’re at home, at work, or on the go. With over 100,000 Alberta users already downloading it, the app has proven to be reliable and easy to use, even for people who aren’t tech-savvy. Just remember that you can only check tickets purchased within the WCLC region (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Northwest Territories), and if your ticket is from Ontario or Quebec, you’ll need to use that province’s official app instead.
