Get Those Lottery Tickets Rechecked
March 2, 2005


Some Atlantic Lottery ticket holders who had their tickets checked Monday may be winners after all. Monday between 130 and 230pm Newfoundland time, there was something wrong with the validation system used to check tickets. As a result though people may have received a validation slip saying 'call ALC with ticket for prize claim instructions', the terminals made the sound most associated with non-winning tickets. The tickets affected were:

- Atlantic PAYDAY and TAG on PAYDAY on Thur. Feb. 24

- LOTTO 6/49 and TAG on LOTTO 6/49 on Sat. Feb. 26

- Atlantic 49 and TAG on Atlantic 49 on Sat. Feb. 26

- LOTTO Super 7 and TAG on LOTTO Super 7 on Fri. Feb. 25

- KENO Atlantic and TAG on KENO on Sun. Feb. 27

Atlantic Lottery's Robert Bourgeois says they are investigating. 9 hundred winning tickets ranging from two to a hundred and fifty dollars were affected. He says people should have the tickets re-checked. Validations for instant tickets or older draws were not impacted.

Were there any winners here victimized by this inexcusable blunder? Be sure to always check your lottery tickets with at least two sources before throwing them out, e.g., Internet then lottery retailer.

I always double check my tickets both manually and then at the store
