How information is handledIndependent information for adults in Zambia
Editorial Policy
The standards used to select sources, verify future result records, disclose commercial links and correct material errors.
01 / Principles
Accuracy before speed
The guide publishes only what can be stated responsibly from accessible evidence.
Missing information is described as missing. An assumption is not converted into a fact, and a search phrase is not treated as proof that a product, draw, schedule or result exists. Commercial usefulness does not override the need for accurate wording.
The site avoids claims of official status and separates editorial information from affiliate destinations. It does not reproduce logos or presentation in a way that could make this project appear to be an operator's service.
02 / Sources
A practical source hierarchy
Preference is given to the closest available primary public source, supported by stable identifying details.
- Accessible pages or dated announcements published by the service responsible for the information.
- Public notices, legislation or regulator material where the legal or licensing context is relevant.
- Reputable secondary reporting used only for context and clearly distinguished from a primary record.
Search snippets, copied posts, anonymous messages, predictions and screenshots without a traceable date or source are not sufficient evidence for a factual result record.
03 / Result checks
No numbers without a traceable draw record
A result should be published only when its numbers can be attached to a clear draw date and reference from a reliable primary source.
Before adding a record, the editor should confirm the source is accessible, transcribe the numbers exactly, preserve the correct order where order matters and record the date of the check. Conflicts between sources must be resolved before publication, not hidden behind a generic “latest results” label.
Until those conditions are met, the results page remains in a “Coming soon” state. The guide will not fill an empty table with examples, inferred values or numbers taken from another lottery.
04 / Corrections
Visible, proportionate updates
Factual errors should be corrected promptly and material changes should be explained where a silent edit could mislead a reader.
Minor spelling and formatting fixes do not require a correction note. A change to a result number, draw reference, source attribution or important safety statement should receive a visible note explaining what changed. If reliable evidence cannot resolve a dispute, the affected claim should be removed or clearly marked as unverified.
Review and modification dates change only when the underlying content receives a genuine review or substantive edit. Dates must not be refreshed automatically merely to make a page look current.
05 / Commercial content
Affiliate links stay separate from evidence
An affiliate relationship is disclosed at the point where a reader can leave for a commercial service.
Payment or potential commission does not make an advertiser a source for unrelated ZAM818 facts or results. Affiliate destinations are identified as separate third-party services, and commercial links do not receive editorial claims that cannot be independently supported.
All gambling-related content is written for adults aged 18 and over. It must not promise a win, present past numbers as a strategy or encourage borrowing and chasing losses.
