    (MANHATTAN, N.Y.) New York Lottery has announced it is experiencing an internal computer systems malfunction which has caused it to pause prize payments.

    ABC 7 NY reports that the lottery service is working to get the system back up and running.

    All wages have been accounted for and organizers say people with tickets less than $600, purchased on or before Saturday, can receive payments at a retailer.

    All others with a winning ticket will be able to redeem their payments once the system is restored.

    New York Lottery averages $10 billion in sales annually and likely has a lot of data to process, per ABC 7 NY.
