@LottoUp Twitter App

The idea:
@LottoUp is a twitter service designed to help casual lottery players who are only looking to buy a lotto ticket when the jackpot is above a certain amount. In a nutshell, you tell @LottoUp which lotteries you're interested in potentially playing, and the lowest amount you'd like the jackpot to be for it to be worth your while to buy a ticket. When the lottery reaches that amount, @LottoUp will tweet you the details.


How it works:
It's simple. Follow @LottoUp and then tweet @LottoUp with the name of the lottery and an amount. @LottoUp will tweet you back whenever that lottery is above your preset amount.

example: '@LottoUp powerball 75' will tell @LottoUp to notify you whenever powerball is above or at 75 million.

If you want to change your amount, just send the same type of tweet but with a different amount. If you want to stop tracking a certain lottery, tweet '@LottoUp unsubscribe [lotto name]'.

Supported Lotteries:
  • Mega Millions
  • Powerball


shoot an email to lottouptweets@gmail.com with any comments, suggestions, or problems.

Future Updates:
  • the ability to tweet lotto up your lotto numbers and lottoup will tweet you back after the drawing and let you know how many numbers you matched and if you won any cash.
  • local lotto tracking
