URGENT UPDATE: The National Lottery Technical Switchover – Date Announced
Our members Allwyn have asked us to update retailers on their upcoming National Lottery technical switchover.
From 11pm on Saturday 2nd August, the next part of The National Lottery transformation will take place. Over Technical Switchover weekend, new terminal software will go live to support National Lottery core gaming and retail technology systems moving to new platforms.
What you need to know:
Technical Switchover will start at 11pm on Saturday 2nd August, and National Lottery terminals will be down for approximately 36 hours to enable the new systems to go live. Stores will still be able to sell activated Scratchcards during this time.
Over the next 10 days, there are several activities to deliver before gaining final approval for this date, including final testing. You will be informed of any critical updates that may impact the date.
What you need to do to prepare:
Jackpot Lite magazine has all the information you need and will land in store later this week. Please read it as soon as possible to get ready.
