I think there may be a problem with the online update for the UK lotto, when using online update for the UK 6/49 , all results from 12/11/08 to 14/05/08 are missing !!

I know that the UK Lotto web site has undergone recent changes and it is no longer possible to download the FULL history unless specially requested .

Will we now have to update manually ?? or is it possible for you to rectify this ?

further to my earlier post about the online update ....................

I have deleted all the draw history and then when I go to and use online update , I only get the last 31 draws and nothing else ?????

I am working with the UK 6/49 lottery.

ANY comments or resolutions would be appreciated !

[/quote]It looks to me that the draw history on the web site only goes back 6 months and the draw history download goes back 180 days. It says that you have to contact the lottery commision to get a full list.

Thanks Padawan ,

I suppose then that Online update is not going to be viable for the UK 6/49 to have a FULL history available.
Which means that it is going to have to be a manual task each & every time because if only the last 180 results are downloaded it will corrupt the database that we use ??

Thanks

the download will just add those last 180 results to your database, it won't delete anything.
if there's a location on the web where the full history is available, i can fix the plugin to download from a different source...

you need to complain to the lottery commission and make them publish the full history for download:)

you can some past data from our web site but it won't be a complete history either i'm afraid.
perhaps some other expert lotto user from uk can help you out
