dragon,No, I beg to differ. I have hundreds of thousands of hits at BigGameLottery.com all at once, and I'm just fine, thank you.In fact, I probably had more hits at 11:00 than most of the other state lottery sites.The reason they don't perform well is that they obviously did not build an architecture that can handle the load, whereas I did.Also, your analysis of my counter on Lottery Post is wrong. It does not use a cookie, and it is an extremely conservative counter. Unlike others, I don't... [ More ]

Pathetic, but it makes me feel like I'm doing a good job.I am sure the official sites have a different traffic load entirely. Litterally hundreds of thousands of people will go there and check numbers at times like this, so you're probably not compa... [ More ]

It's undoubtedly due to the rush of people going to BigGameLottery.com to check their Mega Millions numbers, and then following the links over here.The servers held up with absolutely no problem. I was watching their performance stats real-time tonight, and I could easily handle 5 or 10 times the load I was getting - which is up there with just about any big site. My upgrades over the past year have really paid off!Just for kicks I checked out each of the eleven state Web sites after 11:00, an... [ More ]

You had a 50% jump in your previous record in a few days. Perhaps you have reached the tipping point? Just hope your server bank is up to the job.
