An update for anyone who tried to call our winning numbers hotline over the weekend: It was down for about a day, but it’s back up and in service today.
The winning numbers hotline (515-323-4633) is one of the ways we provide the drawing results in our lotto games. Twice a day, we record new messages on the line to update the results of our drawings as they become available.
The system stopped functioning between the time that we recorded Saturday night’s drawing results and tried to record the results from Sunday’s midday drawings. The number would continually ring but never pick up.
To fix the situation, the hardware that hosts the winning numbers line needed to be reset. That process took some time, but the line was back up and functioning by midmorning today. We were just able to record the results for today’s midday drawings.
As I mentioned earlier, that hotline is just one of the ways that we make our winning numbers available. You can always visit our website to find the same information, sign up for our winning numbers emails, or find the details at your local lottery retailer.
