I'm sure one of you more seasoned MyLotters will understand what's going on and be able to explain this to me...
When I look at my earnings total for the month so far, it says that I have earned $2.7705 for the month of April. However, my little MyLot wallet in the top right corner says I have $2.7677.
Where did the $0.0028 go? I realize it's a tiny amount to quibble over, but I'd like all my figures to make sense.

Your earnings are four decimal places after the period. When you are paid the earnings are rounded to two decimal places. That's why there will always be a slight difference. What's next to the $ on top right may be more than in the "earnings from discussions" or it may be less.
According to what JJ explained to me (I asked about this too), if, for example, your earnings are $5.0020 you will get paid $5.00 but mylot still owes you $0.0020. After you are paid you will have $0.0020 in your account so that total on the top right will be $0.0020 more than your "earnings from discussions" total.
But for example, if your earnings were $5.0051 and you were paid $5.01 you would owe them $0.0049, so your account total would be less than your month's total by that difference.
So, $0.0028 is what's left in your account after you were paid. After rounding off you probably owed them that much. And that's why your account total is less than your April earnings.

I sure hope someone can explain this. I do not understand it. I know that when I came on here today I glanced at my wallet and now I have a couple of cents more so it appears to be working fine. Hope you get this figured out.

What i would like to see in my account 2.7677 .without the decimal point.Wouldnt it be great to choose when your earnings are realeased on the first and fifthteenth. Or would you rather just take the money and run.

I don’t think the tiny bit of money is worth fussing over.

I believe you will have $5 in your account before April 30 is over.I have close to $2.00 in my account balance.I have like $1.79 so 21 cents more.
