Does this mean it is over? DV2016

Yeah even if no winners showed up yet there are winners somehow out there.
In my case i keep getting "not selected" every time so ... i might recheck to be sure in a week
and i will keep going on with life and reapply next year :)

Hilarious! It impresses me that those responsible for all this mess are this ignorant.

What you are saying in the Facebook comment makes perfect sense. Also as you said, all they have to do is try one of the winning number in 30 seconds and then they will know. it is fairly easy and simple test.
 
As frustrating as it is repeatedly getting this "session timed out" messaging (still am as of just checking again a few mins ago) and not even knowing for sure what the status of my entry is, you do have to have a laugh about the whole thing! :) I hope they see your comment, BritSimon!
 
Seriously, it looks like a certificate issue. In all likelihood they are checking from computers which are on the intranet.
 
They just check their database back-end without checking the front-end.

I can't believe they don't have some test confirmation numbers to login and test with.

Very true.....and I am very sure the issue when resolved will also include some NON SELECTED ones to change to SELECTED ONES......this is my blind believe ;)
 
If serious. I think they broke the base of the winners. If they hide, then the error is serious and requires a new draw.
 
They only need a new draw if the old draw did not meet the specifications, as in 2012. Not if its just a notification issue.

If there are no old or it is completely in error.
What to do then? 1) recovering 2) new draw, if not help. I am inclined to the worst case.
I really hope this guide will discharge from the lottery for negligence .

Sloner that is silly. YOU more than anyone else should know by now that 2012 was a special cases and this is NOTHING like 2012.

Oh wow - serious deja vu of this conversation with Sloner...

Doing something wrong (because they are idiots) is not the same as wrongdoing.
