Covid-19 is having an impact on Lotto
17 August 2020
Hundreds of thousands of people buying their tickets online proved to be too much for the Mylotto website and app at the weekend.
The system crashed after Saturday night's big 50 million dollar draw.
There were 10 winners sharing the big prize.
Chief executive Chris Lyman says two and a half million tickets were sold but the shift from 20 to 50 percent in online sales caught them out.
He says big Lotto draws happen every four years - but we've had two this year.
Each one had sales of 2.5 million tickets.
