27-Oct-06. Review of lottery winners pondered. Calgary Herald, A7.

The Western Canada Lottery Corp. (WCLC) may review recent lottery winners to reassure the public that ticket retailers have not been collecting an outsized share of prizes. The WCLC does not keep track of precisely who is winning Alberta lotteries but winners are extensively interviewed and questioned on the circumstances of their ticket purchase. A 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.
