    Jumbo cactpot times are a little skewed....

    Hello,

    I found myself very excited to notice it was 12:05pm (ADST - Sydney), and that the Jumbo Cactpot was to be drawn. I walk up to the Cactpot Cashier who promptly tells me:

    "... This week's winning number has yet to be announced."
    "The winning number of the Jumbo Cactpot will be drawn every Sunday ay 12:00pm. (Earth Time)."

    Umm.... it's 12:05!

    Is there an error with the clock for the cactpot? Does it not know that Sydney/Melbourne are in DST? Maybe their international clocks need their batteries replacing?

    And in case the Mandervilles are unaware of Australian customs and laws, DST finishes here on the first Sunday of April every year!

    We've already moved out of DST for the Americas.
    our usual "9 PM Draw" occured at 10PM.

    The draw has always stated 03:00 GMT Sunday in the UK but is actually drawn at 02:00 GMT/UST. When we change to British Summer Time (BST) soon it will be drawn at 03:00 BST but unless they change the in-game text mentioning GMT it will imply it is drawn at 02:00 BST.

    In short, it's been wrong from the start of Gold Saucer and probably will continue to be wrong until a fix is issued.

    Yet another reason to stop the clock change non-sense.
