What's New On These Pages: June 2007

Next month: July 2007

• Saturday 9th June
  For the second consecutive Saturday, the full results come out surprisingly "on time", yet again there was no main Lotto jackpot winner and for the second Saturday night in a row I was able to buy two more tickets for the following Wednesday's main Lotto rollover draw.

• Friday 8th June
  My work PC has been updated to a Dell Dimension E521 with 2GB RAM, 250GB hard drive and an Athlon 64 X2 4400+ dual core CPU (running 64-bit CentOS 5 in case you're wondering). This dropped the time to generate the Best Performing Tickets page from 12 minutes and 33 seconds (on a 3.4Ghz Pentium 4) to 10 minutes and 45 seconds. Not a spectacular speed increase (14%), but every little helps...

• Saturday 2nd June
  Phoned Camelot (yep, this is getting to be almost a daily thing now) to get the drawn order of last Thursday's Daily Play - they finally had it this time, meaning I now have all game info in drawn order again - and last night's UK winners info for Euro Millions. Unusually, last night's Daily Play draw did actually turn up on the official site in drawn order - only the third DP draw since 8th May to do so.

  Tonight's full results came out earlier than expected (some time around the hour mark, whereas it's been 2-3 hours in recent weeks) and they were fast enough to let me buy two more tickets online for next Wednesday's main Lotto rollover draw.

• Friday 1st June
  Phoned Camelot to update the drawn order of balls for last Wednesday's Thunderball and last Monday, Tuesday and Thursday's Daily Play draws, but amazingly they couldn't give me Thursday's (i.e. last night's) draw order for Daily Play! Yep, none of this info is on their official Web site for nearly all of the Thunderball and Daily Play draws since 8th May. I keep getting promised by Camelot that they're fixing it, but absolutely nothing is done about it...
