Lottery glitch

Earlier on Saturday, a technical problem with the National Lottery computer network left customers across the country unable to buy tickets.

Operator Camelot apologised for the glitch, which affected both in-store sales and those via the lottery website for about four hours.

National Lottery presenter Carole Machin also said sorry for the problems during the live draw show.
