Publishing winners is important to demonstrate the integrity of our lottery games.

OLG reserves the right to publish the name, address and photograph of any lottery winner. The names of winners at gaming sites are released only with the permission of the winner.

9. Does OLG regulate or license charity lotteries? Can charities apply for grants funded with gaming proceeds?

OLG operates commercial gaming on behalf of the province of Ontario. While OLG proceeds support charities through the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the regulation and licensing of charity gaming is a responsibility of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.

10. Do lottery retailers win a disproportionate number of lottery prizes over $50,000?

There has been much talk across Canada in the recent months about lottery retailers who play lottery games and the proportion to which they win these games. In particular, there has been certain analysis commissioned by the CBC that suggests that lottery retailers in Ontario were winning major prizes at a rate that was almost statistically impossible.

Given our concern about what this report implies and our commitment to transparency with our players we contracted three qualified independent researchers to review the original research and conclusions regarding the rate of win by lottery retailers.

The one common thread that all three experts found is that there is not enough information, with a high degree of certainty, to draw the conclusions that have been made about retailers. In fact, depending on which inputs you use you could reasonably come up with different possible answers and conclusions

Retailer Claims by Retail Location

Recent media reports have suggested that retailers are winning a disproportionate number of lottery prizes over $50,000. The following is a breakdown of retailer wins by distribution channel.

Olg Lottery Group Play Form

The figures in the chart below shows the number of lottery prizes of $50,000 or more won by retailers over the period 1999-2005 broken down by distribution channel.

Without knowing more about the lottery playing patterns of the employees in each channel, it is impossible to determine whether the figures suggest any anomalies in win patterns. Among other things, the chances of winning large prizes in a particular channel are affected by the number of employees in that channel, the number of lottery tickets purchased by each employee in that channel and, since different games offer different odds of winning large prizes than others, the particular lottery games purchased by the employees in that channel. There is no reason to believe that the channels are uniform in each of these variables.
