  Somebody is probably jacking with TLC's webpage like they have before.

  The link is not true but maybe some wish it were?

  Strange that they would post a pretest and not explain why the game was suspended.They did even say how long the suspension was either. Seem mighty strange.

  There will be a drawing tonight......now wouldn't it be strange if they pulled 999 and no one got the chance to buy it.

  Your present situation is not your final destination!

  Good luck...5pennies

  They had to have a draw because of advanced plays.  Other states have had problems and done the same thing.  One or more states during the last election did not sell lottery tickets on election day, but there was still a draw.  They have had problems here in California with communication to the terminals.  It is all done by satellite and sometimes there is a problem with the satellite.  They still have the draw, you just can't buy tickets!!

  I agree California Dude. It also depends on the location you are buying tickets from. Like today, I went to my normal place and his machine was down. I travel down the street a bit and that store had no problem.  This happen to me on the night of the big mega millions draw.
