Adrian 'Mr Lambo' Portelli's house giveaway has been marred by technology issues which has forced him to postpone the announcement of the winner. In a video, Adrian explained that the giveaway had closed at 8pm as planned, but due to the sheer volume of traffic on the website, the LMCT+ systems then crashed.
Though the issue was fixed on time, Adrian said he still postponed the raffle so he can 'personally go over everything' and ensure it is running successfully. 'This is what happens when you run things live unfortunately, this is how you know it's all legitimate because things like this happen,' he said.
