Features

  • Shows on the screen the ticked data formatted like an original lottery ticket.
  • Uses a intent to launch the Google ZXing barcode scanner (http://code.google.com/p/zxing/).
  • If ZXing is not installed, shows an alert dialog and redirects the user to the Android Market page.
  • Can be used as a base project to support more lotteries.
  • Uses a scraper to the official page (http://www.onlae.es/loteria/comprobar.aspx) to check the prize.

This is an example of an spanish national lottery ticket in which you can see the barcode:
