Off to the shore for two days!

We will be spending two relaxing days at the shore this weekend, leaving early Saturday morning and returning Sunday night.

The weather is supposed to be beautiful which will make sitting on the beach and jumping in the ocean very enjoyable.

As a result,  we will not be updating any of our Saturday night lottery results until we return on Sunday evening.

The regular Mega Millions and Powerball results entries on this blog will be delayed one day as well, meaning we will post the results on Sunday evening and Monday morning.

Jackpots are very high right now and we wish everyone good luck!

Bug Fixes

During the past week, one of our members wrote us a note indicating that our Pick 3 pages were not being displayed. After a few days of trying various things, he observed that the pages were not being displayed in IE9.

With that, we have been working diligently trying to isolate the problem. At this point, we discovered that we were using a reserved variable name within a data structure. Once we changed that, our newly improved Megaplier, Powerplay, and Sizzler pages all work properly in Firefox, Chrome, IE7, and Safari.

At this point, we have more checking to perform, particularly with IE9, but encourage all of you to let us know if you are experiencing difficulties displaying our pages.

Lotto 649 Draws All Hot Numbers

For the first time since we first introduced our Hot Cold Analysis pages in July 2009, the Canadian Lotto 649 game drew all hot numbers on Saturday, July 9, 2011. Not only were the 6 white balls classified as hot, but a hot bonus ball was drawn as well.  For that drawing, we identified 10 white balls as being hot and 7 hot bonus balls.

• Hot white numbers:  04, 07, 15, 23, 27, 31, 33, 36, 45, 48
• Hot bonus numbers: 05, 08, 22, 25, 29, 37, 39

If someone or group had played our hot white numbers, they would have purchased 210 total combinations. This would have cost C$420 and the lucky players would have collected the C$32 million jackpot prize. 


Since nobody won that night, the jackpot has increased to C$40 for Wednesday night.

Other games that previously selected our hot numbers were: California Super Lotto Plus, and Mega Millions (twice)!
