There's really nothing you can do. Your balance isn't final until the money goes into your account. If you look at your earnings page, down at the very bottom it says "All amounts are estimates and are subject to change until final payments are made."
This means that your earnings may go up and down throughout the month. What you see in your account isn't really what you've made, it's just a rough estimate of what you should make. So it is completely normal for your earnings to go up and down a few cents here and there throughout the month.

Thanks for your response.
I never knew that the amount shown is an 'estimate'. I thought it was the actual amount which will be added to my paypal A/c when reached $10.
Thanks for clearing my doubts.

As Thinking and others have pointed out, your 'earnings' are always an estimate until the last day of the month. They can go up as well as down, depending on when MyLot decide to do a little 'housekeeping'.
What happens is that, if you have responded to discussions (or created them) which have been deleted because they go against the Guidelines, you will lose any cents you earned for those posts (I think that's only logical and reasonable, really). The spare money which is made available because of that is then redistributed, so, if you have been lucky enough not to have had any posts deleted, you can end up with an increase. This is why everyone should read and understand the Guidelines. Make sure that you neither create or respond to discussions which break the rules and you could well see an increase in your earnings!

I really wouldn't worry about it to much, as it has happened to all of us from time to tiem. It is very easy to make it back up agaon. I imagine that a discussion or two were deleted because of a violation, and wnen that happens, everyone that responds loses as well as the one that started teh discussion. I have had my earnings reduced too, but I have been able to make them up so I never really worried about it. Just continue to post, and your earnings will go back up in no time. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.
