26-Mar-07. Lottery chief forced to resign, sources say. Globe and Mail, A7.
Sources say that the Ontario government forced lottery corporation head Duncan Brown to resign in an effort to diffuse the controversy swirling around the agency before next October's provincial election. His departure came just days before Ontario Ombudsman Andre Marin was to table his report into allegations that a disproportionate number of retailers won lottery jackpots.
