      Unfortunately, that means you’ve left no room for honest mistakes, which is an irrational notion. People are going to make mistakes. Some of them are going to involve mind-boggling sums of money. That doesn’t make it either extreme or outrageous per se.

      The lottery drawing was on Saturday night. The website’s error was corrected on Monday, the first business day after it was discovered. Does that constitute “reckless”? I don’t think a reasonable person could conclude so.

        Not checking your website when the numbers go “live” to make sure it correctly updated seems pretty reckless to me. If thousands of people are going to be viewing these changes, you at least take a peek when you update it.
