you know that they going to take 60% of that right
i won $1000.00 on Christmas i got just $400 of that
60%? Not even the people who won the jackpot on Who Wants To Be A Millionnaire had to pay more than 45%.
This is shocking to me

One more thing..
Keep any future losing tickets this year as you can write off those losing tickets up to the amount you have won..
And if you scratch the entire ticket off well, you should see letters that will when put together give a hint to the amount won...I see you have a few small letters showing already.. (below your winning numbers but above the numbers you scratched off)
Those letters are a fraud detecting device ( one of a few the lottery uses )
Again, Congratulations !!!!!!!!!!!!!

OLG didn't investigate insider win
The National Post, Windsor Star
Published: Friday, December 21, 2007
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation awarded a $5.75-million jackpot to a Toronto lottery retailer in February, 2005 without any formal "insider win" investigation to verify he was the actual owner of the ticket.
Hafiz Malik was interviewed by a "winners associate" at the lottery corporation before the jackpot was approved and its internal security staff were not involved, according to internal documents obtained by the National Post.
In fact, the lottery corporation decided four months before Mr. Malik was awarded his jackpot that security staff would no longer conduct insider win investigations.
Mr. Malik, 60, is now facing theft-, fraud- and proceeds of crime-related charges after he was charged this week by the Ontario Provincial Police and accused of stealing the winning ticket when one member of a group of four regular lottery customers had it validated at his store in west end Toronto in June 2004. Police have seized two of his cars and put restrictions on what he can do with his $1-million home in Mississauga and his investment accounts

Chief of Ontario lottery corporation dismissed
Last Updated: Friday, March 23, 2007 | 6:26 PM ET
CBC News
The head of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation was dismissed from the scandal-plagued organization on Friday, CBC News has learned.
CEO Duncan Brown was escorted out of the lottery corporation's offices in Toronto, two sources told the CBC, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Repeated calls to officials at the lottery corporation went unanswered Friday.
The dismissal follows allegations that several lottery clerks stole winning tickets from unsuspecting customers and cashed in millions of dollars in prizes themselves.
The allegations came to light in the fall, when CBC's The Fifth Estate told the story of Bob Edmonds, an 82-year-old Ontario man who sued the lottery corporation in 2005. Edmonds, from the town of Coboconk, alleges he won $250,000, but his prize was fraudulently claimed at his local corner store.
We're not related, but can I have the quarter?
Thanks.

I NEVER buy them, but I am thinking about it now LOL
traderpro...when you saw the matching number, how did you reveal the prize you won ??? Did you scratch it off all at once, or did you reveal it from left to right 1 digit at a time. If the latter, how were you feeling when you saw the $50, part ??? Was your heart pounding ??? Were you alone or someone with you ???
Do tell...I need some vicarious excitement
BTW...CONGRATS !!!!!!!
I buy them as gifts. Gave a bunch out for Christmas. I'm asking for them back now...
