A lottery ticket barcode scanner is simply a device that reads and decodes the barcodes printed on lottery tickets—whether it’s a classic draw game, a scratch-off, or an instant win ticket.
Pretty much every lottery ticket has one. Games like Powerball, Mega Millions, and EuroMillions all have their own unique barcode that links the ticket to the official lottery system.
Most tickets stick with 1D barcodes such as Code 128 or Code 39. These hold key info to check if a ticket is valid, track sales, or see if it’s a winner.
Some games use more than the basics. Fast Play tickets, for example, often use PDF417—a 2D barcode format that stores much more data. To read it, you’ll need a 2D barcode scanner. One quick scan tells the system if you’ve won and blocks any duplicate tickets right away.
A lottery ticket scanner is a key part of any lottery sales or prize-checking system. They generally come in two main types, depending on how they’re installed and operated.
The HPRT E100 is a compact embedded 2D scanner good for self-service lottery checkers and terminals. The scanner performs fast omnidirectional scanning and uses an auto-sensing trigger to provide smooth, contactless ticket validation in high-traffic environments.
It reads PDF417, QR codes, and standard 1D barcodes with high accuracy—even in low-light conditions. With a slim profile and USB or serial connectivity, the E100 integrates easily into modern lottery kiosks and terminals.

Compact and built to last, the N130/N130BT series lottery scanner and checker comes with both USB and Bluetooth, so it’s easy to hook up to lottery sales systems in convenience stores or lottery stations. The cordless option and lightweight design make it comfortable to use in busy spaces or on the go, without sacrificing toughness.
It can read just about any 1D or 2D barcode you’ll find on Powerball, EuroMillions, scratch-offs, Fast Play tickets, and even digital QR codes. Thanks to its high-performance scan engine, it picks up codes quickly from different angles and distances—even if the ticket is curved, wrinkled, or a little dirty—helping you check tickets faster and keep lines moving.
