The Lottery has been down all over our area, but apparently the fault is nationwide. Anybody else having problems?

I was in the Stratford-on-Avon branch of One Stop (closet Tesco Express) today and I overheard a member staff say the system was down, I thought the customer will be gutted if her numbers come up.

it's being reported on bbc news that the 'National Lottery system experiencing problems - Camelot says issue "being resolved"'

Yes there was carnage in the local Spar when all the usuals couldn't put a pound on their lucky dip. The air was blue. Bluer than their blue rinses.

I was going to get a ticket from Morrisons only to see their new fangled lottery machine wasn't working, so I guess it must be a nationwide thing.

Yep our machine at work was off as well, which led to a lot of unhappy customers. One of them told us we should get the draw cancelled.

I love it when customers think you are personally responsible for 3rd parties when there is a problem.
I get it all the time on Support when the HMRC give wrong advice (obviously its our fault and the HM Government are never wrong) or their systems goes titsup.
