What's New
Lottery Ticket Retailer (LTR) Ticket Redemption Inspection Program
The MGCC’s new LTR Ticket Redemption Inspection Program assesses LTRs’ ticket redemption practices. Effective immediately, the MGCC’s inspections will seek to confirm LTRs’ compliance with these four requirements:
- Confirm the player has signed their lottery ticket
- Check the lottery ticket on the terminal
- Return the lottery ticket and the validation slip to the player
- Pay the correct prize amount to the player
After an inspection, the MGCC will contact all LTRs to give feedback on the inspections. Manitoba Lotteries Corporation will also be notified of the inspection results.
Please click here to learn more about the MGCC’s Inspection Process.
Always sign your tickets and check them yourself before giving them to a lottery retailer for verification.Winning numbers are available online and in Luck magazine, or you can use the self-serve ticket checkers. Always get the validation slip and signed ticket back, and check both to make sure the ticket numbers are the same. For more information on validating lottery products click here. |

Promotional Contests
Contests are very popular promotional tools used to generate interest in products and services offered by businesses and other organizations. The MGCC is often asked what the “rules” are for contests. Real promotional contests are not regulated by the MGCC, but there can be a fine line between a promotional contest and a raffle, which is a form of gambling. For more information visit our webpage on promotional contests or have a quick look at an excellent article by Drew Mitchell of Thompson Dorfman Sweatman entitled No Purchase Necessary - The Pitfalls of PromotionalContests. |
