The national draw has been stopped for about 36 hours last night, making it the biggest upgrading of game technology in 31 years.
Allwyn operator confirmed that all the sale of games and claims in the UK shops was stopped at 11pm Saturday after Lotto and Thunderball’s draw.
The website and the national lottery program are also low. The service is expected to resume “late Monday morning”.
Allwyn advised the players to check out the results and claim prizes before 11pm on Saturday, as they will not be able to enter their online accounts, buy lottery tickets or claim prizes-in store or online-until Monday.
Players will be able to review the results until the systems are offline and are still able to buy scratch cards.
They can also see the last draw and see the full results for Saturday’s draw on the YouTube National Lottery Channel.
During the pause, Allwyn national game and retail systems transmit and update the lottery to new operating systems.
However, he warned that the “small portion” of the terminals within the store could create delays if the specific upgrades’ processes were cut off for various reasons.
The Allwyn Group based in Czech-which obtained a 10-year license to run Camelot Lottery in February last year-said: “In-store systems and terminals that return from the National Lottery to 2009,” before iPads, Uber and Instagram “, which must now be presented to provide” ambassador “for a national draw.
“This is a once -generation opportunity to present the national draw that Britain deserves,” said Allwyn chief executive.
“We are making unprecedented and needed changes, which brings us closer to achieving our view of national draw and returning its magic and increasing its positive impact on life throughout the UK,” he said.
“This will mean short -term disruption for our retail players and partners, but they allow us to promise new and exciting new games, a better player experience and our commitment to return for good reasons from £ 30m to £ 60m every week at the end of 10 years,” he said.
Following the acquisition of Alvin’s license, the change has been delayed, which has passed these new draw -based games.
After the agreement to extend the contract for the existing supplier, International International Game Technology (IGT) was unable to change to a new technology provider.
IGT had challenged the gambling commission’s decision to grant a 10 -year license to Allwyn, but later reduced legal action.
Allwyn had earlier admitted that the delay in new games he hoped to introduce in 2024 would pay the amount of money he could give in early his 10 -year license for good reasons.
But despite the lack of initial goals, the group was committed to double their long -term goal.
