  Lottery Post was offline for around an hour this morning, starting at around 11:15 am Eastern Time.

  The problem was a network configuration issue at the data center that Lottery Post operates from, not something within Lottery Post itself.

  Local network operations were fixed at 12:14 pm, and once that happened service was immediately restored to Lottery Post.

  Sorry to everyone affected by the down time!

  I got worried. 

  Thought it could be something from my end.

  Thanks, Todd!

  Starting to get a little more info about the cause.  Looks like there was a problem with one of the companies that supplies network infrastructure to the data center.  Several of their lines went down, and the data center temporarily re-routed network traffic through other means while it is being repaired.  I'm seeing slight traffic latency, so that makes sense.  Hopefully there won't be any more down time, but when a repair is concerned that is always a possibility.  So if Lottery Post appears to go offline again, just know we're on top of it.  Apologies in advance.
