In Atlantic Canada. Not that one store. I'd be willing to bet there was ONE person in THAT store that ordered $10 and got $27.

Even $17. It's worth $17 to know I didn't void the winning ticket. We're not talking thousands.

The argument in the paper was maybe he didn't have an extra $17. Frankly, if I didn't have an extra $17, I wouldn't have spent the $10 on lotto tickets in the first place.
