The Pennsylvania Lottery completed upgrades to its computer system Tuesday afternoon after a brief outage.

That means Lottery players can buy Draw Game and Fast Play tickets from retailers and vending machines.

Those who want to cash a winning ticket can also claim their prize.

It’s the first time in 16 years the lottery upgraded its systems. The system was shutdown around 11 p.m. Monday evening and was down through early Tuesday afternoon.

With the PA Lottery up and running again, that also means you can get your Mega Millions tickets.

Tuesday’s Jackpot is at an estimated $893 million or a $421.4 million cash option.
