Atlantic Lottery moves to curb retailer fraud

An internal review suggests that retailer fraud could be a bigger problem than Canada's Atlantic Lottery Corporation realised. Over the last six years, lottery retailers in the Atlantic provinces have claimed 10 times as many prizes as statistical probabilities indicated they should have. The lottery has announced a series of new measures ranging from customer-facing screens on lottery terminals to background checks on vendors, and is educating players about how to avoid being ripped off when retailers check their winning tickets.
