There was a big documentary by CBC that exposed OLGC. Its a very simple step that they have to take.

All OLGC retailers selling lottery tickets and their immediate families should be barred from claiming any winnings. They get a percentage if the winning ticket came from their store.

How complicated is this to put into legislation.

Premier sacks Ontario Lottery board and CEO

The entire board of directors of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. has abruptly resigned and chief executive officer Kelly McDougald has also stepped down as the McGuinty government takes sweeping, pre-emptive action to stop a potential spending scandal before it even begins.

The first action of a new interim board was to end Ms. McDougald's employment as CEO, a position she held for the past two years.

“The expenses are a symptom of a much larger problem.”“Today we are taking another step to protect taxpayer's money,” Dwight Duncan (Finance Minister) said at the news conference.

The Ontario Tory caucus submitted a freedom-of-information request last January for the travel expenses of senior executives of the lottery corporation. The deadline for receiving those documents was Monday.

Kelly(McDougald) was in the telecommunications industry for over 25 years, serving in senior executive positions at Nortel Network and Bell Canada.

http://www.lotteryinsider.com/people/bios/mcdou...

Kelly McDougald has held a variety of senior leadership roles at Bell Canada – most recently as Senior Vice President, Enterprise Customers and Government – and at Nortel Networks.

Ex-Nortel executive to run Lotto 6/49
Sep 06, 2007

Former CEO Duncan Brown resigned in March just before the province's ombudsman alleged that retailers and “insiders” had won a disproportionate number of lottery prizes. Three other OLG vice-presidents and Michael Sharland, the head of security, followed Brown out the door.

Among McDougald's immediate priorities, the board says she will lead the organization towards achieving the “highest standards of integrity, transparency, accountability and responsiveness,” as well as attracting and retaining a senior management team.

AGAIN: lead the organization towards achieving the “highest standards of integrity, transparency, accountability and responsiveness,” as well as attracting and retaining a senior management team.” (where have we heard this before?)

There are few ultra honest fellas like yourself I would be delighted to introduce you to that owned these publications if you like. I would prefer to remain in the background doing what I do best, generating revenue and you guys can manage it again =)
