Description:
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is paying a group of co-workers a $5.75 million lottery prize after it was determined that this group purchased a winning ticket in 2004, Kelly McDougald, OLG CEO announced today. “We are glad to be paying the group this prize,” said McDougald. “The OLG conducted its own thorough and independent investigation that confirmed the group’s claim that a winning ticket paid out to someone else several years ago was in fact purchased by them.” The case involves co-workers who bought tickets together in 2004. They contacted the OLG in July 2007 with evidence to support a claim that they purchased the winning ticket for a prize of $5.75 million. OLG referred the case to the OPP. At the same time, OLG conducted its own independent investigation which confirmed the group’s claim that they purchased the ticket.
