A Scratch and Win ticket misprint may turn into a legal battle between a Brampton lottery player and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation.
Thomas Noftall, 27, believed he had won $135,000 on four separate Fruit Smash scratch cards. But when he tried to claim his prize, officials from the OLG said there was a ticket misprint and there would not be a payout.
He says he plans to pursue whatever legal avenues are available to him in order to get the agency to pay up.
"I want what's mine," Noftall says. "It's not like I went out and printed these tickets myself and illegally made (them). Don't they have insurance for this stuff?"
The OLG confirmed to CP24 that at least 1,000 Fruit Scratch tickets have been recalled because of a printing problem.
The corporation says they noticed a problem on Friday after receiving a number of complaints about the tickets. The OLG recalled the tickets, but says it doesn't know how many are still in stores or have already been sold.

I think that the OLGC should pay the 'winnings'. If they knew about the misprint, they should have pulled all the tickets. What do you think?

OLGC should pay the winners, or
stop selling tickets, it's OLGC's
error, otherwise they are cheating
the public, which is against the
law.
