Now, now, that's obviously a Euro date, Peaches! The site was updated on October 20, 2003! Wonder if they'll be kind enough to share what the weekly Lotto numbers were on that date, since it's already happened in their world? :rolleyes:

Noooo - that's an "old timey" date, not a Eurodate! :P Back in the 1920's (and yes, I WAS around then.....) that's how we wrote dates. Really! Trust me! It's just silly to think they updated an internet website in the FUTURE when it's quite clear it was done in the 1920's.

Actually, IIRC, Acacia has a patent for writing dates backwards which they received back in the early 1900's, so there could be legal trouble brewing........ :unsure:

But as far as looking into the future, since it becomes "the next day" 14 hours sooner in OZ, I count on CJ and Lisa to let us know if anything important is going to happen. B)

Your both wrong!

it's obviously October 3, 1920.

Standard Engineer's date recording, year-month-day (20-10-3 = 1920 - October - 3)
