The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) app was overwhelmed when a large number of people checked to see if they won a $70 million grand prize. Many people couldn’t see if they had won or not, and they received error messages. OLG is currently working to fix the issue
“We have received reports about error messages on the OLG App (both iOS and Android versions),” OLG spokesperson Dita Kuhtey told Global News via email. “This is due to the huge volume of players checking their tickets after last night’s historic Lotto Max win.”
“We are working on the issue and ask customers to be patient,” Kuhtey said. “Customers can also check the draw results on the website or at a retailer location.”
