别打扰大西洋公司内幕赢彩票

     当说到彩票公司“无臂长度”的赢家，他们往往是指连接到公司的人，或者是作为工人或是供应商，还有一些是在自己的商店做卖彩票的以及他们的家人。

　　大西洋彩票公司的本周统计数据显示出：“无臂的长度“的获奖者在过去的一年中，出现了大幅度跃升。自动电平台控制（ALC）说：这是不合理的，有关的统计数据显示，这些“无臂长度”获奖者的数量，在总中奖人数中的比例从上年的4.3％跃升至11.9％。

　　实际上，这意味着，赢得价值25,000美元的奖品是由占八分之一的获奖者拿走，他们都是连接大西洋彩票公司或其供应商的人。

　　在过去的四年中，“内部人”赢得了价值超过10,000美元的146个jackpots，这可能价值好几百万美元。上周CBC新闻报道这些数据，同时ALC也反应说：“报告这些数字是对一个参与者在过程及活动结果中权益的保护。”

　　 然而，尽管这些数字被ALC消除，还是有一些人，他们关注这些数字。

　　在2007年，当时大西洋彩票公司总裁——米歇尔Carinci对媒体说：对于哪个零售商赢得奖券的这件事引起了人们大量的关注，她打算尽快解决这个问题。因此，该公司开始跟踪统计这些获奖者的数量，特别是被指控在安大略省的门票销售中窃取中奖彩票，并声称是自己的奖品这一事件之后。

　　 然而，在此后的四年中，这些中奖编号还没有移动，一直持续到今年。对此，ALC说：这并不用太担心。

　　“这些数字可能有所波动”，ALC的公共事务总监，保堤说。 “虽然最重要的是过程，但是在四五年前，我们已经做到位了。我们在以下的程序上会做到，每一个单个的获奖者经核实将会被记录下来。

　　　When lottery corporations speak about 'non-arm's length' winners, they refer to those people who are connected to the corporation, either as workers or suppliers, as well as those who own or work for stores that sell lottery tickets - and their families.

　　The Atlantic Lottery Corp reacted this week to statistics which reveal that there has been a significant jump in the number of non-arm's length winners in the past year.

　　The ALC said that it was not concerned with the statistics which show that the number of these winners jumped to 11.9% of the total jackpot winners, compared to 4.3% in the previous year.

　　In effect, this means that one in eight prizes valued at $25,000 was won by someone who is connected to the Atlantic Lottery Corporation or its suppliers.

　　Over the last four years, 'insiders' have won 146 jackpots worth over $10,000, which could be worth many millions of dollars.

　　CBC News reported these statistics last week, and the ALC reacted by saying: "Reporting those numbers are the outcome of a process that was put in place for player protection and that process works."

　　　However, despite the ALC's dismissal of these numbers, there are some people who are more concerned with the numbers.

　　In 2007, the president of the Atlantic Lottery Corporation at the time, Michelle Carinci told the media that the high number of retailers who won lotteries was a concern, and she intended addressing the issue.

　　As such, the corporation began tracking the number of these winners, especially after it was alleged that ticket sellers in Ontario were stealing winning tickets and claiming prizes for themselves.

　　However, in the four years since then, the numbers haven't moved - until this year.  Nevertheless, the ALC said that it was not concerned.

　　"Some of those numbers may fluctuate," said Paula Dyke, the director of public affairs for ALC. "What's important though is the process was put in place four or five years ago, we're following process to the letter, and every single one of those individual wins that would be counted in that category has been verified." 　　最重要的是过程放四或五年以前，我们以下程序上，和每一个赢了，那些个别的将被计数在分类中被证实。” 　　最重要的是过程放四或五年以前，我们以下程序上，和每一个赢了，那些个别的将被计数在分类中被证实。”
