    You can't point to an email from January that has conflicting dates and not acknowledge that every other communication since had the correct date.

    If you had to guess which was the typo, why would you assume it's the 13th (which has the day of the week AND a later sentence saying it's 6 days after the 7th) and not the 12th, which was written once without a day of the week.
    Deke, you obviously did a good job reading the initial release, why did you wait until now to voice any concern?  That's what I do not understand.

    Of course not. That would require them to accept responsibility and not blame someone else.

    That's why you enter the lotto as soon as it opens and revise your picks if you have to.

    There's a difference between sending different information at a later time and correcting something.

    My guess is Deke is trolling.  Saw someone post about it in another thread so felt compelled to stir the pot.

    A reasonable person could easily decipher there were typos in the original email. Thousands of people got that email weeks ago and it was brought up today only after the drawing ended. No need for a formal correction.

    I dont remember seeing the 13th at all, but it looks like it was in there.   I went to the website and read it about 200 times before Feb 7, so I never had this issue.  Pointing out the mistake in the initial email would have been good, if they didnt do that.   But anyone who went to the website and read the rules would have seen the correct date.

    I understand a lot of people don't but after the original email there have been wow additional emails that clearly said the 12th including the newsletter on Saturday.  Plus all the info on the site said the 12th.
