The old scanners will not scan the new tickets.
You have to hand in the new ticket for the shop assistant to scan it for you.
So how do you know that the shop assistant wont tell you didnt win anything when you may have won a few quid??
I allways demand my tickets back as I dont trust anyone but myself with my tickets,well apart from my wife.
This is a major headache for me...
I run a syndicate with 136 people in it (we only do the Euro Millions as if we won the Irish Lotto it wouldnt be worth our while!) and I always checked the numbers electronically on the shop scanners.
I cant do this now so I have to manually check all the tickets myself.
Handing them to a busy shop assistant this time of the year is usually met with eyes being thrown up to heaven....
With the new company taking over they appear to be making a dogs dinner of the technology change over....
The new crowd running the Lotto seem to be at odds on how to do business with people who want to do business. A month ago you could not do more than two games in advance, little sympathy for somebody going abroad for more than a week. The checking machines have not nearly all been replaced since and I reckon it will take much longer than 3 weeks. The results are slow in being posted on the draw night for all their events including Euromillions. It is faster to get the results elsewhere.
I hear the television gameshow on Saturday night might be scrapped soon in favour of bigger prizes (you really think prizes will be more and bigger? - not me!). I know it is not a high risk show and everybody comes away with a good few bob. Mainly it is a terrific feel-good show and many older people enjoy it. The Canadians do not know their Irish audience. And Marty does a great job.
Their new tickets look and feel like they are printed on cheap euro shop paper and...In relation to the email you received from the National Lottery earlier today, please review the following update;
During a software update this morning we released a batch of emails which related to recent prize wins, password re-sets and account unlocks. These messages should have been sent earlier but were inadvertently held in our system over the past two weeks.
Please be advised that no further action is required. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.

Ah no way.
I only watch it to see what mad hair styles yer wan from Cork will have each week.She seems to like squeezing into that skin tight leather skirt alot.
Yeah Marty Morrissey does a great job indeed.
Their new tickets look and feel like they are printed on cheap euro shop paper and...
Even their online tickets are now all watery and substandard looking.
Some downgrade,fair play to Anpost when they had sole responsibility
Me too...
She is a bit left field but she works for me.
There is definitely something adverse up with our National Lotto.
1. If you want to check your lotto ticket in a shop their "checking" machine is still not working.
2. It take hours for the Euromillions and Lotto numbers to be placed on Aertel.
3. I hear that more numbers will be added to the lottery to make it even more difficult to win.
4. A few weeks ago the Lotto website informed me that I won a €3.00 Scratch Card. When I showed up in Tesco to collect the prize I was informed that it was a €1.00 Scratchcard I won. I informed the lady behind the counter who informed me that I was one of several who had the exact same complaint and just took the €1.00 Scratchcard.
I get the feeling that the new crowd haven't a clue about the Irish psyche or way of doing business here and are like a UK Chainstore opening in Ireland for the first time thinking that our population is akin to that in the UK.
