Pennsylvania Lottery payouts back on track after computer system upgrades
MIDDLETOWN, Pa. (WHTM) — The Pennsylvania Lottery says it is back on track when it comes to payouts after a computer upgrade caused delays in May.
Lottery Spokesperson Ewa Swope said timelines are back to normal.
She said the Lottery hadn’t upgraded their computer system in 16 years.
“We just wanted to thank players for their patience and kindness throughout the whole process,” Swope said. “We’re all caught up now.”
The Lottery’s computer upgrade included vending equipment, improved technology, and new features to improve the Lottery playing experience. A hold has been put in place on processing claims during the transition.
