Do a Google search for 'site:national-lottery.co.uk images/games' and tell me it's not 'tmobile-wap.national-lottery.co.uk' tha'ts impacted...

(Especially as following any links there gives 'permission denied'!)

Sorry just wanted to get the headline in before the Daily Mail....

You can claim several hacks on the same winning support ticket.

Hmmmm! On Wed. night their Lottery rundown clock said 30 mins to place your bets - or words to that effect- at 19:15 - 15 mins before end of official betting time.

Was it already hacked at this point?

You know, with all the money Camelot scrape off the lottery, they obviously can't be arsed to secure their own website..think of the waste of profit that would entail.

Paris, because she can be ....- oh, work it out ffs.....

Don't be silly, it all gets scraped off into the top execs back pockets as per normal UK/US corporate policy.

/ That's it, the one with the lottery ticket in the top pocket...

"This is obviously a vulnerability that would need to be cleaned up. In my personal opinion, with an information-revealing vulnerability such as this it can be only a matter of time before full penetration can occur," he said

Paris....

Re your comment on how much they scrape off, I used to work with Camelot and they really don't get that much from a ticket. From what I remember it goes like this

75p - Prize fund

18p - Tax

5p - Retailer

2p - Camelot (including running of machines etc)

The proportions are the same on scratchcards, no matter how much the card costs.

That said, they still have plenty o cash, so they should be securing their website. I had an e-mail from the recently saying that the card registered on my account expires next month, which is odd as I don't have a card expiring next month. Perhaps they truly are incompetent

Did they get next weeks winning numbers?

First: "Camelot can confirm that the main player site at www.national-lottery.co.uk has not been compromised" clearly indicates that they are admitting that some other site DID get hacked.

Doesn't really matter how minor it is, if it revealed useful passwords.

@Ben:

From memory, the prize fund is only about a third of the income. I note that your list does not include any 'Good Cause' money, which also runs at circa one third, so there is something wrong with your figures.
