加拿大以销售彩票筹集善款遭到人们质疑

　　2011年10月19日，专门为加拿大大不列颠哥伦比亚省的和平大门医院和社区卫生基金会筹款的Winfall彩票游戏的发售结束，然而，只有三分之二的彩票售出。Winfall彩票游戏“失败”的消息一经传出，引起当地市民的热议，并提出他们对于慈善机构和销售彩票的看法：以销售彩票筹集善款遭到人们质疑。同时，媒体也公布了一些读者的来信，并加以讨论和评论。

　　“经过销售截止日前一周的销售热潮，本次Winfall彩票仍然没有卖完。”和平大门医院和社区卫生基金会执行主任杰基·史密斯说，“由于购买彩票包中的数量不同，目前我们仍然在统计具体数量，目前我们说它不成功还为时过早。”

　　据了解，2011年Winfall彩票的销售情况非常不乐观，在距离19日销售截止日期的前一个周末，只卖出总量的三分之一，执行主任杰基·史密斯决定亲自出马召集民众购买彩票。由于杰基·史密斯的出现，约有1900名民众前来购彩。尽管如此，今年Winfall彩票仍然没有卖完。

　　Winfall彩票游戏作为和平大门医院和社区卫生基金会的筹款项目已经有16年了，这也是该基金会筹款的主要活动之一，累计为该基金会筹款2500万加元。今年Winfall彩票游戏首次出现赔钱的势头。

　　根据游戏规则，本次Winfall彩票游戏开奖日期为11月8日，杰基·史密斯对此表示，如若本次Winfall彩票游戏确实有经济损失，那么一切将由基金会负责，“我们会通过其他方式赚钱，比如停车场。”也就是说，本次Winfall彩票游戏的失败不会影响到慈善金数额和玩家的奖金。“这个游戏已经有15年了，通过今年销售情况的最终数字统计和程序分析以及彩票市场状况调查后，我们再决定明年如何操作。”杰基·史密斯说。

　　“对于Winfall这件事和其他慈善机构的资金短缺，我并不感到意外。彩票种类太多了，人们骑车、划船，都有彩票赞助，他们或许不知道，我们民众已经到了超负荷的地步，本来对于不景气的经济，人们已经没有那么多钱来做慈善。”民众乔治写道。“回想起最早大不列颠哥伦比亚省的萨利纪念彩票，现在的彩票种类简直是泛滥。每天，电视、广播、邮箱和广告小册子，你不知道地球上有多少种彩票。政府为医疗系统支付钱和必要的设备，那是我们的纳税钱，为什么还要让我们买彩票？”民众希拉写道。

　　加拿大大不列颠哥伦比亚省彩票机构授权和平大门医院和社区卫生基金会发行Winfall彩票游戏，该彩票游戏的发行已有16年。本次游戏共发行223750张彩票，3张彩票包共有25250份（75750张彩票），售价100加元；9张彩票包共有8000份（72000张彩票），售价250加元；16张彩票包共有4750份（76000张彩票），售价400加元。派发奖金总额是200万加元。
