27-Oct-06. Ontario lottery ripoff raises questions here. Edmonton Sun, 7.

The Western Canada Lottery Corp. may review recent lottery winners to reassure the public that ticket retailers have not been collecting an outsized share of prizes. Ontario’s ombudsman said yesterday that he will investigate allegations that lottery ticket retailers have been winning more than their fair share after a CBC documentary report aired suggesting otherwise. A quick survey of recent 10 lottery winners in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba showed there was only one case that involved people who sell tickets and they were part of an office pool.
