Technical Glitch Suspends Lotto Jackpot Draw
A technical glitch has caused a suspension of the Lotto jackpot draw, raising concerns among players and fans of the National Lottery. The draw was scheduled to take place on Saturday evening, but technical issues hindered the live stream on the National Lottery YouTube channel.
Details on the Technical Glitch
A spokesperson stated, “We expect to complete tonight’s Lotto draw and publish the verified results on El-Balad later this evening. We apologize for the delay.” The uncertainty surrounding the draw has left many participants eager for updates.
Recent Changes to the National Lottery
This incident follows significant changes in the National Lottery’s operations. For the first time in three decades, a new operator has taken charge. Camelot, which managed the lottery since its inception in 1994, relinquished its license in January 2023.
The current operator, Allwyn, received a 10-year license to run the lottery and is now managing the draw from the previous Camelot offices. Allwyn Entertainment is internationally recognized and is owned by Karel Komarek, a Czech oil and gas entrepreneur.
