27-Oct-06. Ombudsman to investigate ‘insider’ lottery wins. Globe and Mail, A8.

The Ontario ombudsman will investigate allegations about “insiders” winning a disproportionate number of lotteries to restore public confidence in the province’s lottery corporation. He said he had received few complaints from lottery-ticket buyers but said he was concerned with the lottery corporation’s initial defensiveness and by the government’s refusal to appoint an independent investigator.
