Tonight's National Lottery Lotto draw experienced a significant technical glitch during its live stream, leaving viewers confused and frustrated. The live broadcast abruptly cut out just before the bonus ball was drawn at approximately 8pm, displaying a message indicating technical difficulties. Reports of the outage surged on the online fault reporting service Downdetector, which recorded a notable spike in complaints around the time of the draw. Additionally, the Thunderball live stream also failed, with over 200 outage reports logged shortly after 8pm. The cause of the technical fault remains unclear, but it follows a similar incident that occurred during the EuroMillions draw on October 10. Players were left waiting for the results, which they were eager to share with others. One viewer expressed their frustration on Facebook, stating, "There was a problem with the National Lottery Draw so hopefully we’ll get an update later on who won both draws." Another user commented, "During the Live lottery, a technical difficulty has occurred resulting in the results being drawn later, I apologise for the inconvenience but I'll be posting the results as soon as they are posted by the National Lottery." As the situation unfolded, the winning Lotto numbers were eventually confirmed as 4, 9, 28, 40, 42, and 59, although the bonus ball was not yet verified. The winning Thunderball numbers were reported as 9, 11, 13, 28, 34, with the Thunderball being 13. The technical issues have raised concerns among viewers, with one disappointed participant remarking on social media, "Here we go again another lottery draw another technical fault; this is happening nearly every draw and is totally unacceptable." The National Lottery has yet to provide a detailed explanation for the disruptions, leaving many players eager for clarity and updates regarding the draws.
