I agree it is the correct spelling - I posted an online definition for it, one that seemed to best apply.

Completely annihilated

Had to run to an online definition.

At first glance it resembles the rest of the errors in his spelling but I think Completely annihilated sounds like what he meant

Why didn't I use that phrase too? The state lotto sites got pwned!

I'm kicking myself because the number could have been higher. The counter got reset at about 11:22 when I changed a config setting to let more traffic through. Next time I would remove the limit, now that I know the site can handle that much traffic with no problem (once I disable a few processor-intensive pages, like I did last night).

It's very simple: Lottery Post grows in audience size every week. It is now the largest non-government lottery web site on the planet. As a result, we get situations where 11,000 people are simultaneously viewing the site at any one second.

Did you also notice that the site remained operational the whole evening? Did you try going to any of the state lottery web sites and see that they were frozen? Lottery Post benefits from my IT background, and is able to handle big traffic spikes much bett... [ More ]

I wonder if it will be about the same or get smashed all to bits again if the jackpot rolls until Tuesday.

At this moment it says: 11182, so the record was definitely broken.

Darn, I had to reset the counter when I opened up the site for more connections. The max was 10776 at 11:22 when it reset.

I went to check how many people were online at the moment, but I am only seeing the message below. Maybe, Todd is preparing for all the people that will be coming to the site.

The night that record was set the jackpot was $390M, it may have to roll one more time to attract that many or more viewers .

JAP69:

Yeah, when I posted the poll there were about 800 people on board.

Now there are close to 3,000. Hope they vote! Let's break that record before midnight

I think so. I think Todd was testing shutdown on non critical parts of lottery post already .Probably to cut overload or something. I just went to post a prediction a few minutes ago and service was unavailable and then it was back up after a couple minutes. HMMMMMMMMM
