The MUSL Powerball Outage
During the outage, the Powerball website couldn’t handle the huge amount of traffic it was receiving. Page load times jumped from five to over 10 seconds, and the vast majority of users were unable to fully load the site. Web server availability cratered in all but two cities. The outage was caused by a software update, which affected lottery agents as well as the Powerball website.
MUSL’s powerball website wasn’t equipped to handle the massive amounts of traffic
The Powerball draw, held on Tuesday night, was one of the biggest lottery draws ever. But MUSL’s own website wasn’t equipped to handle the massive traffic. Page load times on the website spiked to over five seconds just minutes after the drawing. The vast majority of users were unable to load the site completely. Moreover, web server availability in all but two cities plummeted.
MUSL, which runs member lotteries, was not prepared to handle the massive traffic. This meant that it had to shut down the website. This was a huge mistake. Despite a large number of backup systems, MUSL’s powerball website didn’t have the necessary resources to cope with the traffic.
During the live drawings, a special wheel was used. However, in 2006, MUSL replaced one of the five spaces on the Power Play wheel with a 10x. This meant there would be at least one 10x drawing each month. After that, the game was moved to Florida. The Power Play multiplier wheel was retired in 2012. In 2012, a random number generator was used to draw the winning numbers.
MUSL’s powerball website couldn’t handle the massive amounts of traffic
In February 1996, the MUSL’s powerball website was overwhelmed with traffic from millions of people across the country. This caused the lottery company to remove Georgia from the MUSL and move its headquarters to Orlando. The lottery company also changed the Power Play multiplier wheel and replaced it with a random number generator. The new version of the Powerball was launched in May 2010.
MUSL’s powerball website crashed
MUSL’s powerball website crashed several times during the outage, but eventually recovered to run smoothly again. The company’s powerball service is provided by Cogent Communications, which also provides service to MUSL members. MUSL is a consortium of lottery companies in North America that offers the Powerball game. Its members are subject to the MUSL Agreement and the MUSL Powerball Product Group rules.
The outage happened because the lottery website was not equipped to handle massive traffic volumes. MUSL hosts its Powerball website in a data center in Kansas City. The multi-state lottery association works with Cogent Communications, which owns the data center. At around 7:05 p.m. EST on November 25, MUSL began using Microsoft Azure routes to direct traffic from half of the nation’s largest cities.
Powerball is a game in which players choose six numbers from a predetermined field. The winner of each number is determined based on the matching of the numbers on the ticket with the data stored in the lottery’s gaming system. When the winner is selected, the winning ticket is paid out in cash or annuity.
