    Odd order of winnings

    The list of winning entries used to be in reverse chronological order (most recent at the top). I've noticed in the last few days that they appear to be random, or maybe clustered by the most recent character that won. Anyone else notice this? I, personally, would really like it to go back the way it was.

    I also noticed this and found it a bit annoying.
    Mostly due to the high chance of winning these various token, pipeweed, etc. lotteries I end up having to read the most recent 10 or so to figure out if any of my characters have actually won that day.
    Nothing more than a minor annoyance but if it's something that can easily be corrected I sure would appreciate it.

    Re: Odd order of winnings

    There's a known issue with repeating lotteries: it's an old one, but it really only becomes noticeable when we have lotteries like these that are constantly starting and restarting. (See the Lottery Known Issues Thread.) It looks to me like it's the same issue: when a character wins the same lottery again, the "old" one is also dragged forward in the list, and that leaves it looking pretty jumbled.

    It is rather annoying - I've taken to just logging in all my characters every once in a while to see if they've won anything, which is easier than trying to puzzle out the dates in the list of recent winnings.

    But at least things should go back to normal when the anniversary is over and the frequency of lotteries goes back down. And hey, it's free stuff, right?
    My characters are listed at my lotro-wiki page.

    Yes, this exactly. Which is why I want to emphasize this is really just a minor annoyance.
    I'd much rather have high frequency of winning lotteries with a jumbled list than a nice clean list and rare winnings
