EXCLUSIVE: Weeks-long computerized draw error prevented many DC Lottery tickets from winning a prizeReply
The coding error blocking repeat digits like 111 or 229 in DC 3, 4, and 5 draws from March 31 to April 21 wiped out roughly 27% of combos in DC 3 alone (since 10^3=1,000 total minus 720 unique-digit ones), which is why sharp LP folks caught the stats anomaly so fast.

Cloudflare causing disruptions this morningReply
Thanks for the info! I saw the cloudfare 500 internal server error splash screen of death earlier this morning. It took out sites globally. The trade off of hundreds of replicated nodes for the rare service provider blackout still seems like a better way than the single point of failure physical server hosting.
