A National Lottery spokesman said: "We have identified a temporary issue on our host system which is causing intermittent issues for isolated lottery retailers and some online players. We are investigating as a matter of urgency." Regarding the draws due later today, the National Lottery spokesman said "All lottery draws will take place as usual this evening." One disappointed player, Mr Ward, 57, from Cheshire, attempted to purchase his lottery tickets but was informed by shop staff that he would have to try later. "I've never missed a draw and tonight should be my lucky night, it could ruin Christmas if my numbers come in." said Mr Ward.
