Lucky Day App Cashout Legit?
Main Post:
I decided to redownload lucky day a week ago for the hell of it because I remembered it existed. Well, I ended up somehow winning 100$, but that of course hasn't been sent to my paypal, so my question is if anyone knows if the app still actually sends you the money if you win or not or if it's just for show.

It's probably scam, I have almost 100$ in coins but can't cashout since giftcards are never available and I can't get last puzzle piece. They say giftcards are restocked every 90 minutes.
Lucky Day App - Review (3+ years of use)
Main Post:
Background: I have a bit of an addictive personality. If I start using an app/program where there are rewards and points, it's very difficult for me to stop until I reach a certain threshold. I had made the agreement with myself that I would casually use this app until I could redeem (3) $10 gift cards, regardless of whether I would get a cash payout or not (see below in "Basic Parameters"). Now the app has changed over time. I initially signed up for this in late 2015 or early 2016 and there use to be a slot machine feature, tokens and cash were lumped together in the form of tokens which could be redeemed for either.
Basic Parameters (Parameters involve my most recent uses of this app as of September 2019):
- You play games or perform activities for tokens. These include: scratch off cards, blackjack, lottery, and other activities like completing surveys, tasks, 3rd party app downloads and transactions, watching videos or referring friends. These can be redeemed for gift cards of other merchandise.
- Cash is only awarded on lucky scratch-offs, raffles, spinning a "prize wheel," or the lottery.
- Each day, a user is awarded 22 daily scratch-off cards as well as about 10 supplementary scratch-off cards throughout the course of the day that can be redeemed. Other games are eligible to be played by using tokens and activities are limitless or re-generated periodically.
- Cash cannot be redeemed until the total cash accrual is $10.00 or more
- Tokens roughly translate to 1 million = $1 in gift card credit + 10% - 33% additional tokens depending the denomination of gift card. Merchandise appears to be priced on proprietary market costs. Gift cards come in denominations of $10, $5, & $2 for popular merchants.
- Cards and other activities are refreshed every 24 hours, but prize inventory is not restocked on a consistent cadence, although it appears it is greater than a week window.
Observations:
- Initially, when I started playing, incremental cash amounts like 25¢, 50¢, are paid out gradually over a honeymoon period until the total cash amount gets into the $9.00 dollar range. After that, I never saw incremental amounts paid out again
- The daily lucky Lotto did seem to be completely random so I would win sometimes 250,000 - 1,000,000 tokens if I was randomly lucky
- 30 second video ads would play about every 3 scratch-off cards
- Tokens on scratch-off cards were hit and miss (3 symbols needed to match for prize; otherwise, honorary 1,000-5,000 amounts given away with each card). In some cases, getting 400,000 or even 500,000 tokens was not out of the question, though it was very rare. Almost always, one of the 10,000 or 15,000 cards would get all 3 symbols
- On average, I think each active day of full use (without going overboard) would result in about 70,000 tokens per day
- Blackjack would often result in wins at first and become a lot more conservative if play was extended (required betting with tokens)
- Prize Wheel always landed on 8,000 tokens (daily use for 5 days opens this feature)
- Surveys usually worked, but qualification was not guaranteed
- Other activities required payment for another third party program or constant use of another app
- I got (1) $10.00 scratch-off once in early 2018
My Earnings: Over a period of more than 3 years, I earned:
- 36,001,057 in tokens
- $19.00 in cash
This will allow me to redeem $19.00 directly to my Paypal and I can redeem (3) $10 gift cards and (1) $2 gift card with about 2,000,000 tokens left over.
My Conclusions: It took more than 3 years to earn a little more than $50.00 in cash/card. There is a lot of red tape to get there: constant engagement with app, having to exit out of videos and re-open app to avoid watching 30 second ads, messed up surveys that led to missed points, notifications of random Lucky Day deposits which never affected my account, daily raffles that I never won. It is definitely a time suck. While I did not spend all my time on the app, to do the bare minimum of use with of app to get max points would take a solid 10-15 minutes a day. It's not a scam, technically. I can speak from personal experience when I say the app can pay out. I think winners are highly randomized and I do believe that the $119.75 or $500.00 "winners" Lucky Day highlights are factual. I would strongly urge those with addictive tendencies not to do what I did and get your hopes up for a payout that was not easy to come by. The yield will take a lot of sweat, blood, and tears, and there is no guarantee that the interface or point algorithm of the app will not change in the course of trying to earn milestone rewards.
In summary, the most important take-away is to treat this app like what it is: a game. Hope this helps! **I just created this account, but hopefully these screenshots will give credibility: https://imgur.com/a/5UJobgV

It's amazing how much people will put up with for roughly $17/year. That's better than Slidejoy but worse than S'More, both of which combined have probably have taken me less interaction for far greater payout. :/
Lucky Day App Scam
Main Post:
I keep seeing that people as well as me being stuck at $8.25 so we can’t reach the minimum $10 to pay out. I have been stuck on this amount for over 6 months and now the app is gone from my App Store after I reached out to them about my account being wiped of $5 I accrued. It seems as if they have a way to make sure you don’t win anything over $8.25 and also I even reached out to winners of the raffle by searching them on Facebook and matching their photo and asked if they really did win the $1000 or whatever they won and not a single person messaged back confirming they really won and their all seem to be bunk profiles. I find this company highly suspicious especially now that they deleted the app so I can’t review them negatively or even reach out for support.

I’m still flabbergasted at how much time people on this thread waste for a couple bucks. Literally, like two $1 bills.
I emailed Lucky Day support asking about the odds of winning cash prizes from the Piggy Bank. Either the support is really bad at math or they are trying to hide something.

I think its the later. It shouldn't be hard to understand my second email. Here is my email conversation:
I haven't received a response yet for my rephrased question.

Anyone who thinks that the cash portion of this app isn't a scam should delete their reddit account.
For anyone that uses the Lucky Day app,

Could you post the lotto numbers that won today (Dec 22nd)? I'm wondering if everyone's are the same or if they're pulling some stuff to ensure no one wins.

Everyone’s are different !! Wow I’m sueing then 😂
Has anyone ever used Lucktastic or Scratch4Cash and actually win a chunk of money?

I've used Lucky Day and Lucky Night, which are similar (same concept). Wasted 8 months trying to get something from the app and was able to get $10 PayPal...really not worth the time.
Lucky Day - I'm not buying it.

I've been using Lucky Day for about three months. I've won actual money once, and this was my first ever scratcher which gave me $1. You need a minimum of $10 to cash out.
I've got no doubt that you can actually win money on this application. My question is: **Can you actually make money from the scratch and wins? **
I've got a few friends who have won a few dollars here and there from the scratchers, but none who have exceeded the required $10 to cash out. Has anyone out there one any scratch and wins with a prize over $10?
You can look at the recent people who have cash out, and it seems they all have values from the raffles. The highest cash out I've seen so far is $523.50
So if the answer is no. Is the only way to win through raffles? Or am I missing something, or simply not so lucky?

Deleted it from my phone. Seems like it hooks you with flashy gambling type stuff. I’ll go grind elsewhere for my bux.

Lucky Day app: why does it seem to take longer the more money that is on your account?
Main Post:
I've been playing the Lucky Day app now for about a week or so? And I've got $5 saved up, but you need $10 to cash out to Paypal, which is fine. What I'm noticing now is normally I'll get anywhere from .25 cents USD to a $1 and the past 3 days I haven't gotten anything but tokens. I've even ramped up from using it 1x per day in the morning to 3x per day morning, afternoon, night and still not even getting .25 cents.
It is nice that the app takes about 5-10 mins depending on how many ads you get hit with, so I don't waste much time with it at all, but it seems to me that the closer you get to $10, the less and less you get any money. Anyone know if Saving up the coins and money drops your rate or something?
Edit: I forgot to mention, I only use Lucky Day. Should I use other, similar apps too?

It cut me off weeks ago when I hit 7.25.
I used to use dailywin which netted me a few bucks a month, but the app doesn't seem to work on my phone since the update. I can't feel if that's my hardware or the app though
Is Lucky Day Legit?
Main Post:
I’ve been using it for a couple weeks and I’ve made about 7 dollars but is it legit?

They let you get to $7 to get your hopes up, but you won't make any more money. I almost have enough to get a gift card, and i'll be deleting it immediately after.
