  I downloaded the testpb.doc file this morning. The most recent results in the file are still for 3/13, not last night's drawing. Does anyone know how soon this file is updated to the latest results by any chance?

  Gonna win.

  The document I just (11:15 am) downloaded has the 17 March 2010 pre-tests, draw, and post-test included. - Perhaps just a time issue of a few hours

  I'm in Arizona and some days I've had to wait as late as 1pm or 3pm for it to be updated/available (on my end).

  YES and I honestly think it could be related to web site propagation... which means that the servers/hosters across the U.S. aren't always as up to date (or sync) as they are in different locations (for end-users). I used to believe it was because they didn't update the file until the next afternoon, but now I would have to think it's related to sync/timing issues based on location.

  I doubt very seriously that they will be posting them anytime soon..they do that on purpose so you cant use them..so they will wait to the the latest time they can get away with before they post the next set of pretest draws..

   

  and I would also bet you a MILLION dollars right now...that if you took the OFFICIAL pretest draws and compared them to the ones they post on their website..I would bet you  that the draws they post on their website IS LOADED down with errors..and I bet they are on purpose..so you cant use them also..but they put something out there to make it look legitimate...

  Of the typos I've found, they actually weren't very many. As for how accurate ALL of it is... now that's another story!
