National Lottery Gremlins Fixed as People Purchase Tickets for £7.3 Million Triple Rollover

DON’T PANIC! If you intend playing the National Lottery this weekend for the big bonus of £7.3 million, you may have seen reports that there has been an outage on their systems.  

You may have been one of the hundreds of people who were left in limbo on Thursday and were unable to access the National Lottery app. The good news is that the planned maintenance work has been completed but you might still find a delay as there has been a surge in people using the app ahead of the weekend jackpot.  

Some issues were still noted this morning, with players being met by a message apologising and saying that the National Lottery’s online services are “temporarily unavailable” and requesting patience.  

Casinos.com created a brand-new account just to test the system and the good news is we managed to purchase a ticket for Saturday’s draw.

The £7.3 triple rollover comes after the Wednesday draw remained unclaimed.   

Allwyn Confirms App Is a Ok

One ticket holder did scoop a £1 million prize after matching five out of six numbers and the bonus ball. The winning Lotto numbers were 07, 20, 33, 50, 51 and 57, with the bonus number 44.

An Allwyn spokesperson said: “The National Lottery website and apps were closed overnight for planned maintenance and reopened again just before 8 a.m. on Thursday. We appreciate players bearing with us and wish them the best of luck in this weekend’s draws.”
