The National Lottery experienced a temporary shutdown over the weekend as part of the largest technology upgrade since its launch 31 years ago. The operator, Allwyn, announced that store terminals resumed operation at 9am on Monday, allowing players to purchase tickets in physical locations once again. Following this, the National Lottery’s website and mobile app went live at 9:30am, restoring online access to games and services. This upgrade aims to improve the overall player experience by modernizing the platform’s infrastructure and ensuring more reliable service for lottery participants nationwide.
