Hamdroid (Lottery Helper)
The first time you run the app, you'll be asked to enter your information as required by the lottery (i.e. name, email, birthday, zip code). You can update this information later if you like.
After that, it's easy to enter:
Step 1: Choose the show time you'd like to enter the lottery for.Step 2: Watch as your info is filled out for you, then check the box and prove you're a human.Step 3: Tap 'Enter' to enter the lottery!
This app works great with your IFTTT recipe that alerts you when you get an email from [email protected] (which will confirm your entry and tell you if you've won or not, automatically).
This app was made by an amateur in my spare time using the MIT App Inventor 2. I'll do my best to respond to any support requests or feature suggestions.
Good luck, and let me know if you win! I'd love to see a selfie at the theater.
***************
This app does not (yet) include notifications as to when the lottery opens. But you can get them anyway using IFTTT. I suggest creating an applet that sends a notification to your phone at 9am Tuesday-Sunday, one at noon on Saturday, and another that notifies you when you receive an email from [email protected] (this last one will confirm your entries and tell you if you won or not).
***************The fine print:
This app is not affiliated with Hamilton or Broadway Direct (but we are big fans!)
This free app is (unobtrusively) ad-supported.
Your form information is saved onto your phone locally and is only shared (with only one other party, Broadway Direct
- the makers of the lottery) when you submit it to the lottery.
If you have any questions about this, please get in touch.***************Version History:

Only in NY
I think this is a good concept however you don't have a lot of cities please at Denver and let me know once you have. Thank you
You're here in Denver but your app is not?
Great idea with too many issues. The +/- bar sits over the text. The X in front of the accept agreement text keeps fading in and out so you can't tell if it is really checked. Because of the nature of the app, you have to go through the Captcha selections every time.
Just downloaded app but don't see Los Angeles option. Please add, thanks!
Doesn't allow entering the lottery in San Francisco. Will update review if it does.
Have pop-ups to what look like phishing sites
Hadn't been on for awhile, and couldn't get back in the lottery. Repeatedly asked me to update info.
LA option was not on the app they NEED to add it
This app will not let you enter the Hamilton Lottery. Uninstall
