Countrywide problem stopping stores from offering lottery tickets.

There seems to be a disruption in the lottery ticket buying and checking process in Australia. The Lott has reported that around 40% of the outlets that sell and check tickets have been affected since 5am. This means that many people are unable to purchase or verify their tickets at this time.

A spokesperson from The Lott has confirmed the situation, stating that there is currently a partial service outage across the country. This is causing inconvenience for some of their licensed Lotto outlets. The team is working tirelessly to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. They apologize for any troubles this may have caused and appreciate the patience and understanding of their customers.

Unfortunately, this outage has occurred just before the much-anticipated $20 million Powerball draw tonight. This means that many hopeful players may not be able to participate or confirm their numbers. However, there are still many ways to get help and information about gambling.

If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, there are several resources available. You can call the National Gambling Helpline at 1800 858 858 for assistance. Online counseling is also an option, as well as finding information about help services in your state or territory. There is also support available for family and friends affected by gambling and resources on how to approach someone about their gambling habits. Additionally, Gamblers Anonymous offers meetings and support for anyone struggling with addiction.

All of these services are free, confidential, and accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
