Tried to scan my Powerball ticket on my phone this morning and I got a "contact lottery" message. When I looked on the New York State website it says pending. I contacted New York State lottery by email andI received an email from the lottery saying "hold on to your tickets while we resolve technical issues". Just checked and nothing. I don't know if I've ever seen this before in all the years I've wasted my money on lottery tickets. Russian hackers?😂

Any idea what happened? Thanks

The comic forum I frequent has been down for at least 12 hours now after having intermittent service all day yesterday. A large auction house I follow postponed today's auctions due to technical problems. I'm guessing there are denial of service attacks going wild just now.

Are they having this problem in all States or just New York?

Is this related to the Fastly outage?

The comic forum now says it is down for unscheduled maintenance, but at least you can no get on for the message.
I've no idea if this is an isolated incident. Yesterday afternoon I couldn't get on this forum for a few minutes.

There was a period yesterday that I couldn’t access any of my websites or my host’s site - event though I know they are on servers in different cities. Then a couple hours later, it was as if nothing happened.

At a different point, I couldn’t access any Wizard sites. Then later, no problem.

I assumed it was due to the Fastly issues.
