National Lottery Website and App Hit by Outages
Lotto players across the UK ran into trouble on Monday evening as the National Lottery website and app experienced widespread outages. According to Downdetector, reports of issues spiked around 8:00 PM—the very time this evening’s Thunderball numbers were drawn—with over 700 players reporting problems by 9:00 PM.
Fans took to X to vent their frustrations:
-
One user complained, “My app and website won’t connect again. What an absolute shambles this upgrade has been. It’s been nothing but trouble. I’ll just go back to playing in-store.”
-
Another shared, “Is the website down? I can’t log in—it says ‘we couldn’t check your location.’ I’m home and haven’t changed anything on my phone.”
-
A third added, “I can’t access the website or sign into the app right now.”
This outage comes at a particularly frustrating time for online players trying to check results or buy tickets from home, leaving many wondering when normal service will resume.
