Lotto ticket terminals crash again

National Lottery ticket terminals crashed yesterday for two hours — for the second time in less than a month.

The National Lottery confirmed the disruption was due to a firewall server malfunction, claiming the issue was quickly resolved.

The latest crash came after the company was forced to defer the February 4 midweek jackpot. The postponement had been the first in the Lotto’s 28-year history, after technical issues caused a service outage across 95% of the network.
