TORONTO - An Ontario man who says misprinted scratch-and-win tickets made it appear he had won $135,000 has received a "payment" from lottery officials but adds he didn't get his dream.
Thomas Noftall says after having officials with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. explain the rules to him during a meeting in Toronto, he acknowledged he did not have a winning ticket.
He says OLG officials apologized for the misprinted tickets and reached a settlement with him, but he could not disclose any details for legal reasons.
A lottery spokeswoman says they have made a "payment" to Noftall but would also not disclose any details.
Noftall, 27, had claimed he was initially told by a lottery employee that he would be paid even though it appeared his win wasn't legitimate, but was later told he would not receive anything.
