National Lottery Set For Life results delayed due to 'technical fault'

Tonight's National Lottery Set For Life results have been delayed due to a "technical fault."

The draw was set to be live on YouTube at around 8pm tonight, on May 26. It began as usual with the announcer saying that the draw was due to take place in front of an independent adjudicator. The machines were shown to have the balls rotating around as usual.

However, when the announcer said: "The first number out is...." No number followed. There was a long silence as the ball was delayed, before the screen cut to a message announcing the technical fault.
