The National Lottery has said its draw results are operating successfully despite technical issues with the broadcast of the draw earlier this week.
The National Lottery is now responsible for the production and broadcasting of the draw results after a decision was taken by RTÉ recently to no longer produce it for cost-saving purposes.
The lotto draw results started broadcasting from a new studio at the National Lottery headquarters last Wednesday, 11 March.
The draw in that livestream was paused for around 90 seconds in between the Lotto Plus 2 and Lotto Plus 1 draws due to what the National Lottery said was "a slight technical issue".
On last night's draw there appears to have been audio interference with a buzzing sound heard throughout the broadcast.
However, the National Lottery said there was no issue with the quality of the audio during the live results.
A spokesperson said the only sounds were of the lotto balls and the lottery ball machines.
It said: "The draw results for Wednesday 11th March and Saturday 14th March Lotto and Lotto Plus games were carried out successfully in National Lottery HQ."
The National Lottery has said there were no technical issues on last night's live draw.
Watch: Technical issues interrupt Wednesday's Lottery draw
It is also reminding the public that it can be viewed live and watched back on the National Lottery website at www.lottery.ie/live-lotto-draw (accessed via the How to Play section) at approximately 7.55pm on Wednesday and Saturday nights.
The main draw and full results are also broadcast on RTÉ One ahead of the Nine O'Clock news.
It said existing draw controls and oversight mechanisms remain in place, including KPMG's independent observer role.
Telly Bingo is due to follow in the coming months as part of a phased rollout.
Both draws will continue to be broadcast on RTÉ One.
