Finally got on using this ^^^^^ method even if an error page comes up or "blocked"........took probably 60 or more consecutive times of refreshing to finally get through.

I was getting the Blocked notification for the last 45 minutes. Just kept clicking back out of that page and hitting Buy Tickets over and over. It'll happen after 15 - 30 attempts.
Went back in the same way 20 minutes later and bought some for my daughter. Refresh was not working on the Block page. Click back and hit Buy.
Eventually their server gets exasperated and just gives in.

Yup, my mom said get me some. So I went and tried, kept crashing on the checkout page. Well mom, you got 3 extra sets of chances due to the glitch. Be a funny story if she wins.

Took awhile but we got our $50 pack. After we entered the CC information it took a minute and said Bad Gateway. Before I hit refresh, the wife checked her email and got the tixs. Im thinking people that have been charged multiple times hit refresh before checking to see if they got the tickets.

Similar to me. I would have stayed on, never a confirmation I purchased. Always bad gateway. Then look in email. Purchased $50.00 tickets. My visa charged $150.00.
Wow, thank the lord I checked my email. Easy to wrack up $500.00, not knowing you purchased.
Now where are the remaining $100.00 tickets??

I got nailed the same way. Totally bogus. First transaction that went through I was given an acknowledgement that the transaction had been completed and I would get a followup email with my ticket numbers and receipt. This happened.
Then on a second attempt I was got numerous Bad Gateway, Transaction Cannot be Completed At This Time, etc, etc. All of them Went through without the website telling me so. Definitely not paying for the overage I've been charged.
What a fiasco of a management group the Oilers have. Complete joke.

Unbelieveable. I've sent a note out to an Edm Journsl reporter that was tracking the issues today. I'm going to get real ugly with Oilers Charitable Foundation in the next couple of days. They're ripping people off thanks to their ineptitude. Bloody ridiculous.

Its at 14.5 million. This is crazy
Under the rules it states 7. No Refunds. All ticket sales are final. There will be no refunds issued to anyone for any reason.
Sounds like alot of people who did not plan on spending hundreds or thousands on tickets are out of luck

Noticed the winning numbers aren't posted yet.
If all these false fraudulent transactions went through because of system error - and people were actually getting charged each time they hit refresh... The entire lottery would be compromised - right ?? There would be so many excess numbers generated and "thrown into the pot"....
How would they even go about sorting this out ?? Re-draw ??
Sketchy, regardless.
Btw for what it's worth.... I had to hit refresh like ten times on the processing page because I kept getting the "error, try again later" message. However, only one email showed up and was only charged once. 🤷

Took us a long time to get tickets, we are not even hockey fans but bought tickets anyway since your chances are better than 6/49 , now the stupid question is , where are the winning numbers posted? Don't see anything on the website.

Draw is on hold
As of 11:25 p.m., the Edmonton Oilers website showed that the pot had passed $15.2 million, crushing the previous record of $5,417,130.
However, with many fans including some who spoke on the record to Global News saying problems with the website timing out resulted in them being charged for more tickets than they wanted to buy, it was not immediately clear whether some of the tickets may be refunded.
We need time to work through this issue before we can say with certainty where the pot will be, Tim Shipton, an executive with the Oilers Entertainment Group, told Global News.
It will be a significant number in any case.

System crash and double tickets.
I was trying and got to the enter card info. Did that and got a 404 error. waited a few minutes and tried again, same error so I said screw it and went to work on the quad. Came back in about 930pm to emails that I had bought 2 blocks of tickets. Oh well I guess I have wasted a $100 before. Glad I stopped trying 
Good Luck all
