National Lottery site down?

Is the national Lottery site down for everybody or is it just me?

Want to get my Christmas tickets, anyone know if the ticket machines in shops are working?

  • Nope, still cant get it either with IE or Firefox. Tried turning off firewall etc. still no go. How strange, can't even get a ping back.

    Does it work when you use the IP address

    I had a problem with OpenDNS a while ago. I couldn't get in after receiving one of those..."We have exciting news about your ticket" emails.

    The longer it took me to find a way in, the more convinced I was that I had hit the big time!!! unfortunately it was a welcome but miserable tenner!!!

    Anybody else having problems today? Lottery queue in the shop was a mile long so thought I'd do it online. Can access the site fine but its saying 'game unavailable'. There is a draw tonight isn't there??

    I cannot buy tickets - "Game is not available"

    Don't tell me I'm gonna have to wonder down to the shops and join a massive queue!!!
  • I got mine online this morning, no problem for me

    I was in our local shop two hours ago and they were having problems with their lottery terminal and said it was a national problem.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die
