I cannot get into their site to buy a ticket..not all day

Considering the money Camelot make out of it, they could at least afford to pay for some decent software

The lottery should be given to another company who can actually do the job!

Site seems to be working now?

Big rollovers are going to be a regular thing with the new numbers, they need to up their game.

Seems fine here, I didn't buy my lines there but I can safely get to the enter numbers stage quite fine.

On wednesday, the site was dead for me as well.

Yes newspapers reporting website crashed again. Was selling 400 tickets a second apparently.

I normally just get a paper line for a few weeks when I'm out, no hassle.

The largest jackpot in American history is on offer to US lottery players, with a payout of about $900m (£620m) possible for the Saturday night draw.
Lottery fever in the US has resulted in long queues outside lottery-ticket vendors, driving up the jackpot value.
The rise means that an individual could take home about $558m (£384m) if they choose a lump-sum prize.
The winner must match five numbers between one and 69 and and a sixth number between one and 26.
The lottery, known as Powerball, is played in 44 of 50 states and three American territories. It takes place each Wednesday and Saturday at 22:59 pm (0359 GMT).
Lottery officials quoted in US media say the odds of winning are one in 292 million.

When you think about it, you could, if people bought tickets online, trade out in play, a bit like deal or no deal? Like after every ball you get offered a value, and a minute or two decide whether to take it or not.

Interesting thought actually.

It's (C) ME if Camelot try to steal it.

A record £66m National Lottery jackpot will be shared between two ticket holders who each matched the six winning numbers, Camelot said.

The winning numbers were 26, 27, 46, 47, 52 and 58. The bonus number was 48.

The jackpot, announced live on BBC One, comes after 14 consecutive rollovers found no winner.
TV presenter Noel Edmonds pushed the button for the lottery draw, more than two decades after presenting the first National Lottery show in November 1994.
