This must be one of the craziest stories I've heard in a while, but given the corruption at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation in denying rightful winners in on-line lottery games in favour of insiders for so long before they were finally called out on it by the MSM, this one doesn't surprise me.
Seems that because of a misprint on some four scratch and lose tickets, one unfortunate Ontario man thought he had won the grand total of $135,000. What did he win? SQUAT!
You would think there'd be some better quality control in manufacturing tickets, especially after all of the controversy they've already faced. This one has class action lawsuit written all over it -- about 1100 misprints are out there -- and it will be us, the Ontario taxpayer, who picks up the tab if it's successful.
I'll get back into the political thing soon -- right now, I'm at a loss for words on more important stories.

He should sue!
It is OLGs mistake. What a fraud
Is OLG liable to pay for this maistake in printing? Ask yourself this question is any other oganization liable or resposible for thier misprints or mistakes? If a supplier to General motors send out defective or misprinted parts are they liable, or is the consumer? Who's to say that they did not void or just say the tickets were void in order to avoid paying out!
