25 years later: Lottery Post celebrates Silver Anniversary
By Todd Northrop, Founder of Lottery Post
When Lottery Post first launched on May 31, 2000, it began as a small website designed to give lottery players a platform to connect over their shared love for the games. I had no idea that this humble little forum would eventually grow into one of the most established lottery websites in the world.
Before social media even existed, there was almost nowhere for lottery enthusiasts to gather and share information. That's why I built Lottery Post, with the sole intention of creating a space where people could openly share their thoughts and insights.
The website was created with one simple forum, and it started with a single forum post.
From the very beginning, the evolution of Lottery Post has always been propelled forward by one of its primary objectives: promoting free thought and preserving the quality of honest discussion without the intrusion and disruption by commercial spam. I believed then (and still do) that you cannot create a community built on trust when people are suspicious of those they're talking with.
Lottery Post has always been a community at its heart — the social media platform for lottery players long before Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), and TikTok.
The website continued to grow as Lottery Post's memberships and discussions swelled, and so I expanded the site to include several specialized forums, which made it easier to organize and find conversations.
The year 2002 marked Lottery Post's first major expansion beyond forum discussions, as we introduced a page displaying all daily lottery results from across the United States. In just the first couple years, Lottery Post had already undergone a pivotal shift to transform it into the most comprehensive resource for lottery players, the one-stop shop for anything a player could need.
The website expanded so much, that in 2022, Lottery Post had to undergo a massive technological upgrade just to accommodate the growing number of users. It was an intense and carefully-orchestrated two-year project that culminated in a unified mobile and desktop redesign and an overwhelming multitude of quality-of-life fixes for players navigating the site.
Today, lottery results at Lottery Post remain the most accurate and complete found anywhere online. More people get their lottery results from Lottery Post every day than any other website in the world.
And after 25 years, Lottery Post has become one of the most popular lottery-related websites in the world — more daily visitors by far than any other U.S.-based lottery website (including every official government lottery in the United States).
We're proud of what we've accomplished, but we will always remain driven in our mission to continuously improve for the lottery players in our community.
25th anniversary celebration
To celebrate our 25th, Kate has designed a special logo, which we'll feature at the top of the website for at least the month of June.
Also in June, look for Kate to be running some giveaways for members to thank you for being the most important part of our website all these years! The specifics will be posted in the forums, and anyone is free to participate. All that is required is to register a Standard (free) Lottery Post membership.
Thank you again to everyone who makes Lottery Post a part of their daily routine. We're able to celebrate this anniversary because of you!
Happy Anniversary Lottery Post!
Thank you Todd....

Happy 25th Anniversary!!! I've watched Todd's hard work expand and refine Lottery Post over the years into the epic site it is today. Congratulations on all your hard work.
I've been around the whole 25 years and remember when you didn't need an account to post and you could make up any name you wanted to post under on each post you made.
Congratulations on 25 years

Happy Anniversary Todd , Thank you for all you've done.
Happy 25th Birthday to LP and Todd and Kate. You both do not look a day over 21.
Happy Anniversary! Though I'm officially a new member, I've been lurking around on this site for at least 10 years and finally took the plunge to sign up and then get a paid account. I've loved this site for some time, thrilled to find other lottery geeks.
Happy 25 th Anniversary Todd and Kate. May GOD continue to bless the LP members
on this special occasion.
Celebrating 25 years, whether it is a wedding anniversary (Silver Wedding Anniversary), a work anniversary, or any other significant event, represents the completion of a cycle and the celebration of an important milestone. It is an opportunity to reflect on what has been built, the experiences shared, and the goals achieved. In many contexts, 25 years symbolizes the durability and strength of the union.
Happy Birthday guys.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! (And here's to many, many more!!!
)
Congratulations Todd 🌹💫🌹
Happy 25th Anniversary!!!
Happy Birthday
Way Back then...
Congratulations!
Happy Birthday Lottery Post!!
Thank you Todd for creating such a wonderful platform!!
Happy Anniversary!!! 25 is a great number!!!
Computer capabilities greatly increased in those 25 years. The only thing useful I did on my 2000 home computer was to compose and print a resume, sell and buy a few things on the new fangled ebay, sign up for Paypal. For fun, I played audio CDs and the original Half Life.
My 2025 computer is used for computing, mostly. So much faster with much more memory! Way more capable than the supercomputers I programmed in the 90s.
LotteryPost and NissanForums are the only two social media sites that I login to these days; I do read news related posts from X/Twitter.
Any social media site that censors or shadow bans on behalf of the State, bad-ethic organizations, or bad moderators, are automatically rejected as I hate censorship and value free speech.
Happy anniversary. You are wonderfully appreciated
Happy Anniversary!!!
Congratulations Todd, I've been a member for almost the whole time. One of the OG's The times were great. I still miss Lucky. You have done a wonderful job keeping us all here, just like a family. I'm old now and unable to do what I use to, And the darn Texas Lottery has made it next to impossible to predict what's really coming.
Just want you to know how much I appreciate you and all you're doing ❤️

Congrats Todd Kate and LotteryPost staff on this monumental anniversary. If it weren't for my late father introducing me to this site many years ago I may not be here making all your eyes turn all the time.
Now back to my liverwurst sandwich with blah blah blah blah on pumpernickel bread spread with Dijon mustard and three gherkin pickles and a handful of sweet potato chips on the side. Of course washed down with moxie or birch beer.
The Shag has spoken!
