National Lottery ticket machines and its website are back up and running after a mass outage caused panic as tonight’s bumper jackpot heads for €12 million.
Following last week’s record National Lottery draw, more than half of the jackpot remains unclaimed.
National Lottery regulator Liam Sloyan has requested a report on the attack from PLI.
Following the problem, the midweek draw was deferred for the first time in Lotto history.
The winning numbers will be published here as soon as they are announced.
The lottery’s grand prize was last won December 25, when a ticket worth $60-million was sold in Mississauga, Ont.

The largest ever jackpot for the main Lotto game was on Saturday, January 9, 2016 when two winners shared the £66m prize. This pushed the odds of winning the jackpot out to almost 11 million to one.
