TORONTO — The Ontario minister who oversees the lottery corporation says he’s confident it has a handle on the “insider” wins problem.
“It’s a fair game,” Public Infrastructure Minister David Caplan said yesterday.
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation has disclosed the number of ticket retailers and OLG staff winning $50,000 or more in jackpots has increased since it began cracking down on insider fraud last November.
Over the past year, one in 20 big jackpots went to insiders.
The OLG says it’s just being more vigilant in tracking insiders.
