National Lottery website not opening

For some reason I am unable to open the National Lottery website from my desk top.


It was working fine for years, then Friday last week I get a message saying website is not available.


I have checked with Camelot and the site is working
I have tried 3 different browsers
I have cleared history and cookies
Checked security settings
Added the website to trusted sites


I have run out of options now.... Any ideas?
NO to pasty tax We won!!!! Just shows that people power works! Don't be apathetic to your cause!

  • Have you tried turning off your antivirus and firewall to see if that works then turn them back on to see if it blocks again?
  • Have you signed up for your ISP's family protection stuff, it could be that or some other family protection

    Try flushing the DNS resolver cache by opening a Command Prompt (as Administrator) and copy/paste this

    ipconfig /flushdns

    and press enter..
