8:07 am
goodies for you. if you pick either time you have a better chance of binge the lottery good fair enough. after you go through all thaw need your confirmation so hold on to that. >> absolutely. number three would be that you are going to receive, right on the screen, after you have been in a lottery a confirmation that you have, your entry has been submitted. maybe a few hours later you will get an e-mail. don't be concerned if you don't get that e-mail right away. sometime late their day you will get an e-mail confirming your lottery entry has been accepted. >> and then one of the tips is you can only enter the lottery once. >> that is what we suggest. we are going to have the consultant that we're working with ticketleap, threw all of the entries and they will remove duplications, they will remove things that look suspicious or fraudulent. you risk having your entry voided if you enter more than once. we suggest just enter one time, with your one address.
8:08 am
>> we will kind of double down on the be patient but just take your time, relax, take a deep breath, take your time going through this. >> yes, because we have expanded the infrastructure, we now have the ability to accept even more entries, so we won't have to take down a system down like we may have the first time. but it may be slow. the the important thing is that you have all day long. you can keep entering fit is slow or just come back later, be patient. we have to wrap but one chance to make everybody comfortable, it is in fact going to work this time, you're confident. >> we are confident, not only are we working with ticketleap. that is what they do. they sell tickets on line. but, we also are working with our am on services, the the actual cities hosted by amazon. we have done everything we can. we don't want it to have a problem a second time so we feel very, very confident. >> jerry williams, we appreciate you being so accessible and sharing
