another possible reason is that with the anniversary ending in a day or two, turbine doesn't want players complaining about having won tokens but not being able to cash them in.
I have not had a lottery to enter in since I think Saturday or before. Is this an account bug, or have they just not stuck any out there yet since the patch? I keep up on the lotteries pretty good and win fairly often, so I am a little worried.

They posted on Twitter yesterday that the lotteries would be delayed due to the downtown. I guess with the forum issues, the lotteries are STILL delayed.
Lotro's Forum and Lotteries are not all messed up, they are working fine... As fine as any BETA stuff should!
So it's WAI, not flawless but working.If you do win something from the lottery and don't get it in your mail, it's due to BETA status, provides a lot of handy excuses
It's been in BETA for years now!
Cheers!
**Also, in french, when you qualify someone of "Beta", you're saying that this person is an idiot... Maybe it's subliminal message they are sending the community!
I've had the Welcome Wagon Lottery and the Lottery of the Free Peoples appear on the lottery page. It looks like they are posting each lottery with a slight delay. My guess is that all of the lotteries will be available soon.
The lotteries are starting to appear again. Welcome wagon and free people are up now, I suspect the higher-level ones are being set up as I type this. Note that lottery frequency has been VERY high across the anniversary event, with all those flash lottos giving tokens away. The 'usual' state is for welcome waggon and friends to be run once every few days, but they did get a bit 'pushed out' with Monday's maintainance.
OT: So, I guess the forums are having issues again with thread-starters appearing well after they were actually posted.. (and lotteries are up, as you already likely know)
Not only that, but this is the 2nd time in as many attempts that I have clicked (SUBMIT REPLY) only to have the window clear and nothing happen.. *grrr* At least now I know to clipboard my post before I click..
