Have you been to Ontario in Canada where the Niagara River water roars over the edge of Horseshoe Falls and plummets to a violent pool some 13 stories below! Ontario is as big as France and Spain combined and most of that land area is in the province’s sparsely populated northern regions. Other than this scenic beauty Ontario’s lotteries do attract the Lotto players too!
Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation( OLG) came into existence in 2006. It is responsible for the province’s lotteries, charity and Aboriginal casinos, commercial casinos, and slot machines at horse-racing tracks. OLG’s prize centre is located in Toronto. As part of modernization efforts OLG also has introduced lately iGaming.
