More woes for lottery as system crashes again

National Lottery ticket terminals briefly crashed yesterday for the fourth time in just over a month.

In a statement, Premier Lotteries Ireland confirmed there was a short disruption to the service around 6pm, but that service was restored within minutes after back-up systems kicked in.

“There was a minor service interruption to the network at around 6pm, PLI’s network monitoring systems immediately captured the incident and transferred over to the back-up system, restoring normal service within minutes,” said the statement.
