Play the New York Lottery On Your Smartphone

There is a new lottery game you can play on your phone in tandem with a regular scratch ticket.

The game, called "Gold Castle," is actually a traditional scratch off ticket. But if you download the NY Lottery 3D app, you can play the game in 3D on your smartphone! You basically scan a bar code on the ticket that allows you to play the game on your phone to reveal the prizes. It produces the same results as the scratch off ticket, and you can play either way.

Do you think this is the start of playing more of these games on your phone? You have to figure once the games start going mobile, you will be able to just play the majority of them on your smartphone. Which will be super convenient, but maybe to easy to play for those who can get addicted to playing.
