It's Friday, which means it's time for National Lottery's Euromillions and Thunderball draws. But the draw has been delayed for unknown reasons, with the winning numbers still not drawn.

Unfortunately, the feed is not working and there have been no further updates. There appear to be technical issues with the live stream. The National Lottery website reads as follows, on both Euro Millions and Thunderball:

"Tonight's results are on the way, so please pop back later or check previous results."

The National Lottery have also replied to social media users: "If the draw is not able to be live streamed on YouTube, please check the National Lottery website for all results later."

The results have not yet been posted on the website.

WalesOnline has reported that all of the Euro Millions draws are ran and held by the French operator of the National Lottery, La Française des Jeux, in Paris.

In turn this will also impact tonight's Thunderball.

The game is offered by 10 lottery operators in 9 countries.

This includes:

  • Austria
  • Belgium
  • France
  • Ireland
  • Luxembourg
  • Portugal
  • Spain
  • Switzerland
  • United Kingdom

The National Lottery are currently investigating the problem with the live streams.

An Allwyn spokesperson said: "Unfortunately, tonight's draws have been delayed due to a technical issue.

"We're working to complete them as soon as possible and, as always, they will take place in the presence of the Independent Adjudicator. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused."

The Euromillions draw takes place every Tuesday and Friday and a ticket costs £2.50. That includes automatic entry into the UK Millionaire Maker draw which creates new UK millionaires every week. The overall jackpot can rise to £167m. The jackpot for tonight's Euromillions is £25m. Where you can win £500k on the Thunderball draw.

National Lottery players are being urged to check their tickets as two millionaire jackpot winners have yet to come forward to claim their prizes.

On Saturday, October 4, a single ticketholder won a Lotto jackpot of £10,633,323. They matched all six main numbers in the draw 06, 08, 12, 33, 49, 59 to walk away with the entire jackpot.
