Talk about being tied into a website: It actually took me an hour to figure out that I could check for the winning numbers in the local or home websites of the drawings....its almost like for 2 days there was no lottery!!

Nice Job!! WTG Todd

One option for lottery results that was down for very little time: the Lottery Results Gadget. I had it back up and running within an hour or two, and it kept delivering the latest lottery results during the site outage. USA Mega was also up just about the whole time (For Mega Millions and Powerball results.)

Sorry everyone for the occasional offline glitchiness. Believe me when I say I am doing the best I can. Running on empty at this point.

Thank you Todd for all you do. Running on empty is not good. Take some time for yourself.

Next time I'll tell the equipment to fail during that time period!

it AWESOME Chief,

the new location bring faster enough using IE8 with internet mobile, although i'm aware that internet mobile bandwidth and steady connection were the main speed but using a friend dell vostro a840 it seem like a rocket speed that i've seen accessing lotterypost site :)

good luck

When it's all over and done and you've had a good night's sleep, we expect a blow by blow report on what went wrong. This was like booking passage on the Titanic, when did you first see the ice berg, when did you suspect you were headed for trouble, etc?

In my opinion a lot of the computer stuff is done to us on purpose to make us buy new machines. Windoze, I have to go back to win95 install because all my higher versions are upgrades that won't install without a previous version, it's a nightmare to replace a hard drive let alone what you must have gone through.

Hi everyone, just wanted to say thanks for the words of encouragement for tomorrow. I'll be happy when it's over.

I also wanted to let you know that more good stuff is one the way. Within a week or two (probably the week after next) I'll be releasing a new feature aimed squarely at Pick 3 and Pick 4 players. It's a nifty tool that Gold and Platinum members can use, and Platinum members get some really cool extra features. It's one of those things that is very helpful, but also just plain fun to play around with.

How's that for a tease? Don't worry, it will be here before you know it. Cheers!

Serious tease, I am chomping at the bit. Thanks.
