  Has anyone else noticed that the "Edit" post feature does not seem to give you a Full 20 Minutes to continuously re-edit your post.  It's more like just 10 minutes.  This "Edit" feature seems to be functioning on its own time clock.  blindly.

  I've never had this problem, but let's do a test. I'll try to edit this post two minutes before the 20 minutes elapses.

  That time will be 11:35.

   

   

  This test of the Lotterypost system has been successful. If this was a real emergency, officials would notify the masses of the nearest shelters.

  It's now 11:30, I'll check back in 5 minute.

  I checked back at 11.40 AM to confirm.

  Maybe it just me, but it seems like 20 minutes goes by very quickly.  Maybe TODD should extend the re-editing time to a full 30 minutes !!!

  If he did that members could make predictions 20 minutes before the drawings and correct them after the drawing.

  They can do that now. Florida's p-3 mid draw is at 1:35. I could post predictions at 1:30, and at 1:49 edit my post. Florida has a 800 hotline that announces the winner about 15 minutes after the drawing. Unless someone is paying attention to my numbers, they'll never know.

  I would never do such a thing. I'd only be fooling myself.

  Anyone trying such a thing wouldn't be trying to fool themselves but others.
