When we get it wrong

A reference site that hides its mistakes is worth less than one that has none. Here is how errors are handled, and every one we have logged.

The policy

Four sentences, and then the log.

What gets treated as an error

Ranked by how much damage it does if it sits there unfixed.

  1. A wrong number

    Jackpot odds, a prize tier, an overall-odds figure, a worked example in the glossary. Each one is computed from a game's matrix, so a wrong figure usually means the matrix on file is wrong, and that error is inherited by every row of the odds table.

  2. A stale game rule

    A matrix change, a price rise, a new draw night, a game that closed. Lotteries change more often than most readers expect, so a game pagedescribing last year's format is wrong even though it was right when it shipped.

  3. A misattributed tradition

    A method credited to the wrong school, an origin story presented as documented when it is a later invention, or a cultural belief described in a way its practitioners would not recognise.

  4. Copy that implies a promise

    Any sentence that reads as though a number, a method or a ritual improves your chance of winning. It never does, and the odds of winning the lottery shows the arithmetic. This is the one error class that gets fixed the same day it is spotted.

The log

Every substantive correction since 26 July 2026, newest first.

The log is empty. No reported factual error has been confirmed and corrected since it opened on 26 July 2026. That is a statement about the log, not a boast about the site: pages here carry thousands of computed figures and a lot of history, and some of it will turn out to be wrong. When it does, the entry appears here rather than being quietly overwritten.

Corrections questions

Because nothing has needed logging since it opened on 26 July 2026. An empty log is not a claim that the site has never been wrong. It means no reported factual error has been confirmed and fixed in that window, and if one is, it will appear here with its date.

A correction changes a factual claim: an odds figure, a matrix, a draw day, a price, a date, the origin of a tradition, or an attribution. Rewriting a paragraph for clarity, fixing a typo or changing a heading is an edit, and edits are not logged.

Wrong numbers get priority, because a wrong odds figure is the worst kind of error this site can carry. Reports go to hello@vibenumbers.com and are checked against the source before anything changes. If a claim turns out to be right, we say so rather than quietly leaving it.
