So like a a lot of people in Florida, I bought a ticket for this large 900 million dollar Powerball Jackpot.
I was going to the Florida Lottery website to check for the winning Powerball numbers around 11:41 p.m. and the website just won’t load.

I get error messages and my guess is it’s being crushed by the volume of people trying to see if they if they won. I’m guessing this is an all time high volume of web hits for most of the websites that would have posted the winning Powerball number.
I hope they have their IT staff look and figure out how to prevent this from happening in the future.
