Sorry, but it does look like that page has not been updated recently.  Maybe 
the guy that updates it is on vacation or something.  I sent them an email 
inquiring about it, and will post here when (if) I get a reply from them.

If it truly is abandoned, I can probably screen-scrape the numbers, but that's 
not the best way to do this sort of thing; I'd have to update the program every 
time they changed their web page.  Let's cross our fingers and give them 
another week to see what they say about it!

Also, sorry about the missing version number, I guess I should add that.

I also emailed the powerball people asking the same thing. Lets hope someone
just dropped the *ball*. (nuk nuk nuk)
