Transmission of incorrect Daily Play results

Background
Camelot is required to ensure that any material designed to encourage or enable a player to enter into or play a Lottery game is accurate, does not mislead players and is compatible with the relevant game rules and procedures.

Condition
Condition 9(31) of the licence granted under Section 5 of the National Lottery etc. Act 1993 (as amended).

Description
Incorrect results for the Daily Play draw were broadcast during the Saturday night draw show on 3 February 2007. The correct results were broadcast later the same evening. Camelot received 11 queries and/or complaints from members of the public.

Regulatory Action
Having written to Camelot and considered its response, the Commission concluded that there had been a contravention of the licence requirement.  A licence breach was recorded on 13 September  2007.

Outcome
Additional controls and checks have since been introduced to minimise the risk of a repeat of this incident.
