This was the reply I got:

Greetings,

Thank you for contacting Pogo.com Customer Support.

There were some technical difficulties with the "Express Yourself badge" in Lottso Express. The original requirements to win the badge was to reach the 4th goal 6 times. However, considering that it may be too hard or time consuming for some players, the criteria was changed to "reach the 4th Goal 6 times" but the development team faced some technical difficulties making the change.
The technical problems are all fixed now and to make the badge more accessible, the criteria is now changed to "reach the 2nd Goal 15 times this week". If you are still facing issues with this challenge criteria then I would recommend you to try yourself during this week. I hope you will win the badge.

If there is anything else we can help you with please let us know.

What the heck am I supposed to try myself? What is the rep insinuating?

So not only was it changed to what it was originally, I guess we are supposed to get technical and what....hack into their programs and see if we can do whatever it is they can't do? Seriously, that's the worst message I think I've ever seen from POGO. You might as well have written it in Klingon and I might have understood it better. Oh wait! I think I understand! They want us to try playing it ourselves instead of letting Uncle Otto do it for us. Silly Pogo!

I had to do it 15 times  to second goal and the badge is in the album.  My home page reads 15 times also.

Express Yourself Badge Issue in Lottso! Express Resolved!
There was an issue where the directions of the badge did not match the badge progress in this week's Express Yourself Badge in Lottso Express! We have changed the requirement to "Reach the second goal 15 times this week!" This challenge is not that difficult! For tips on how to play, read our 5 Quick Lottso! Express Tips! article from April!


whatever...and this is yet another excuse that I got in the email:
"Answer

Express Yourself Badge 12/08/09



There were some technical difficulties with the Express Yourself badge. First of all, we would like to thank all of you for your patience while we sorted the issue.

Originally, the requirements of the Express Yourself badge were to reach the 4th Goal 15 times. During testing, we found that reaching the 4th Goal 15 times might be too hard or time consuming for some players.

In order to make the challenge more accessible, the badge requirements were lowered to reach the 4th Goal 6 times. However, our team faced some unforeseen technical difficulties making the change, which created some confusion the morning of the badge release.

The issue has been fixed now, and the challenge has been adjusted in a way to make it more accessible, while providing a good amount of game play.

The challenge has been changed to reach the 2nd Goal 15 times.

Keep in mind that to reach the 2nd Goal, you need to accumulate enough points to move on to the next goal. In other words, your progress bar must be full before you can reach the 2nd Goal.

We apologize for the confusion and sincerely hope you enjoy the challenge."

...what they really meant to say was "we really screwed the pooch this time" rolleyes.gif

it was changed to 2nd goal 15 times, so all you have to do is make it to the 2nd goal and hit new game, takes all of 5 mins...lol

Now instead of saying you have to reach the fourth goal it says the second so is it right or not??

Maybe they lowered it because of their stupidity? The ineptness? Their... well, you get the idea.

All I know is that I'm getting credit and some people in the rooms are not.

So, I would recommend waiting until they fix this before working on the challenge as you may end up having to do it again anyway.
