It appears to be for just me, I am on three and tried firefox and chrome, clearing cache, rebooting and nothing works on any device. Any advice
I am responsible me, myself and I alone I am not the keeper others thoughts and words.

    Certainly fine on desktop, have you tried the app on your phone?

    I am on three and have just been on, bought a couple of tickets and logged out .. It did ask me if I was in the isle of man but that's normal for it.

    Oddly enough, I tried to buy a ticket late afternoon yesterday. The National Lottery site couldn't be reached and timed out. I just put down to excess traffic due to the big Euromillions jackpot.

    I'm using Three Homefi 4G.

    I got the "Site is not responding due to a long running script" message (IE11) on Thursday, which I've never had on the National Lottery site before. If I clicked on "Stop script", none of the buttons on the page would respond to input. Eventually, I just let the script complete and was able to navigate without any further problem, but I've never had this before on that site.

    Best advice here would be to stop using IE11 (for anything).
