2009/2010 Breaches

This section contains licence breaches as recorded by the National Lottery Commission during the period 2009/2010.

• Dream Number tickets

  Between 1 February and 28 March 2009 some Dream Number tickets featured Dream Numbers which were not consistent with those entered into the draw.

• Daily Play tickets

  As a result of a data conversion error some Daily Play Match 0 prizes were not recognised. In the case of 32 tickets the gaming system recognised only one Daily Play Match 0 prize when more than one of these prizes could be attributed to that ticket.

• Prize Payment Security System

  In March 2009 Camelot made changes to the National Lottery gaming system, however it failed to make compatible changes to the Prize Payment Security System (or PPSS). As a consequence for the period 4 March 2009 to 12 May 2009 PPSS would not have been able to perform as expected. Had circumstances arisen which would have required the operation of PPSS, for example if Camelot had become insolvent during the period, the Trustee’s ability to perform its functions would have been compromised, with potentially serious consequences.

• Player Guide

  Player Guides produced by Camelot for the third licence contained inaccuracies and were not in line with the versions approved by the Commission.
