Lottery computer glitch fixed

HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania Lottery officials say they've fixed a computer glitch that took down game terminals.

The lottery said today that a computer network problem affecting terminal-based games and ticket validation functions lasted until about noon.

Lottery officials say the glitch affected all of its approximately 8,500 retailers.

Players who purchased advance tickets for the day's drawings can validate winning tickets now that the system is back up.
