Problems playing the Lotto online?

Has anyone else had problems playing the Lotto online? I did recently and about 10 days ago?

It is when I am logged in to my account and try to play either Lotto or Euromillions- I input my numbers, the chosen date etc and click 'play' (as I have loads of times before).....but nothing happens? Not even turning to a new page to confirm it?

I have tried clearing my cache etc and using antivirus and have no issues, nor with general internet use, so I emailed National Lottery explaining my problem, they replied with:-

"Dear Sir/Madam

    Have you tried another browser?
    Also make sure you try buying during the day because there is a cut off time.

    Thanks, Big Ed, I'll try IE next time, although I am aware of the 7.30pm cut off point.
