    I've been trying in different shops and on line all day. I hope our syndicate numbers don't come up. I'll keep trying on line just in case.

    I wonder if you can play by text? I guess you have to already be registered for it though! What a palava.

    It's been like this since morning at least; it's sporadic. I was at work from 10am and it was on and off then, sometimes it worked as soon as you put a ticket through, but most of the time it would take 5 - 20 minutes for one ticket to go through shocked.gif and while it was stuck trying to do that one transaction, you can't do anything else like check winning tickets or pay out on scratchcards either. lol.gif

    the most frustrating thing was trying to explain to people "it's a NATIONWIDE issue!" as they proceed to moan for the 3rd time that they've just been in town and it's not working there either, but they'll just pop next door and do it instead mad.gifare you deaf? or just stupid? dozey.gif

    I printed out an odd handful of lucky dips on thunderball and lotto when it was having one of it's little spells of working though angel.gif

    Site is back up - but very sporadic.
    Very frustrating as we're running out of time.
