Well, that’s a first.
Tonight’s €10m Lotto draw has had to be postponed until tomorrow after hundreds of ticket machines went on the blink today.
The National Lottery insist that they are doing everything they can to fix the problem between agent terminals and the network.
They said, “that there were technical problems this morning following a service outage related to the 3G telecommunications infrastructure provided by Telefónica.
“This incident affected business customers across Ireland and Europe including over 3,500 National Lottery agents.
“We are continuing work to re-establish the connection between the agent terminals and the network.
“To ensure all our players have an opportunity to play for the €10 million Lotto jackpot, the Lotto draw will now take place on Thursday 5 February 2015.
“Tickets already purchased for the midweek draw remain valid for this draw.
“We’d like to thank our players and agents for their patience.”
