Answer

In order to win an Atlantic Lottery prize,

you would have needed to have bought a ticket or entered one of our contests. If you haven’t, then chances are it might be a scam.

Lottery-themed email and phone scams are not uncommon, and we want Atlantic Canadians to be equipped with the right tools to spot a scam before they’re out some serious cash.

The Canadian Anti Fraud Centre or their Phonebusters line ( 1-888-495-8501) offers tips to consider when receiving any potential lottery related scams by email or by phone. Here are some important points to remember about Atlantic Lottery:

Atlantic Lottery is the only regional gaming agency entrusted to provide Atlantic Canadians with regulated, fair and entertaining lottery products.
To be eligible for a lottery prize from Atlantic Lottery, you must be 19+ and have purchased a ticket from an authorized retailer in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island or Newfoundland & Labrador, or on our alc.ca website.
Canadian lotteries only operate lotteries, games of chance or promotional contests inside of their jurisdiction (i.e.: Atlantic Lottery only operates inside Atlantic Canada).
Canadian lotteries do not send out unsolicited cheques and do not require tax payments, administration fees or other monies in advance of releasing cash prizes.

If you think you’ve received a fraudulent call, your best plan of action is to contact either your local police agency or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre’s PhoneBusters line at: 1-888-495-8501.

Thank you for your email and bringing this to our attention. This is not be a legitimate message from Atlantic Lottery. In order to win a prize through Atlantic Lottery, you would physically have to purchase a draw lottery ticket through one of our retail locations in Atlantic Canada. Atlantic Lottery Corporation (ALC) has been aware of letters and e-mails using the ALC name and-or logo that are being distributed to the Canadian residents, stating that they have won a prize. Please be advised that the correspondence that you received did not come from the official Atlantic Lottery Corporation. Unfortunately there are many scams out there trying to get money and personal information from people, pretending to be Atlantic Lottery and other lotteries across the world. There is nothing we can do about this issue, however we do have a number for a company called PhoneBusters: 1-888-495-8501. Their job is to deal with these scammers. If you would like, you can give them a call to report the email you received if it does appear to be a scam. Also, here is the anti-fraud center's website. http://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/index-eng.htm I can confirm that we do not have an employee or contact by the name of Thomas Newman or Elder Martin Grey who is employed here at Atlantic Lottery. Thank you. - Sandy @ Atlantic Lottery

Hola Hernan: El correo electrónico que recibiste NO te lo envió Atlantic Lottery. Para poder ganar un premio de Atlantic Lottery, debes comprar un boleto de lotería de Atlantic Lottery y eso solo lo puedes hacer si te encuentras en la región del Atlántico de Canadá. Existen muchas estafas que usan el nombre y el logotipo de Atlantic Lottery o de otras loterías para intentar obtener dinero y datos personales del público en general. Gracias por hacernos esta pregunta. -Janet @ Atlantic Lottery

Hi Aslan; If you want to buy an Atlantic Lottery product and you don’t live here, you must travel to Atlantic Canada where you could buy a ticket from one of our retailers. We can only sell tickets to people who live in Atlantic Canada or are visiting our four provinces. You should also know there are many scams out there pretending to be Atlantic Lottery or other lotteries who try to get money and personal information from people. Unless a person has bought a ticket from Atlantic Lottery they cannot win an Atlantic Lottery prize. – Janet @ Atlantic Lottery

Hello. I received an email from Miss Janet Spencer with the content that I've won $ 800,000 in 2017 with my Gmail account at the Free Atlantic Caribbean Canada. They introduced me as a lawyer named Mr. Arthur Bouron to receive prize transfers through them. Mr. Bruin received my bank and account information and my passport, and then I received a certificate stating that And then they sent me a certificate stating that they were eligible to receive a cash prize from the Canadian Finance and Finance Office. They now told me to transfer $ 1250 in Mr. Richard Kent through the Western Union. Is this a scam? please guide me. Thank you

Good Afternoon Hasan, Mohammad and Prince, The email you received was NOT sent to you by Atlantic Lottery. In order to win an Atlantic Lottery prize, you must buy an Atlantic Lottery lottery ticket and that can only be done if you are in the Atlantic region of Canada. There are many scams that use the name and logo of Atlantic Lottery or other lotteries to try to get money and personal data from the general public. Thanks for asking us this question, Nicki
