Thousands of players were unable to cash in or purchase tickets over the weekend as the U.K. National Lottery's website and mobile app went completely offline due to what is being called the largest IT outage in history. This may have been caused by the "Blue Screen of Death" update.
A major worldwide IT disruption brought on by a poorly executed CrowdStrike update disrupted flight operations, delayed emergency services, the healthcare, technology, and transportation sectors globally, and might have even brought the digital operations of the UK National Lottery to a complete standstill.
