If you played the B.C. Lottery Corporations Keno free second-chance contest last fall, you might fairly wonder if you got the prize you were entitled to.
Thats because a report from BCLC found that some lotto retailers failed to submit a winners list for the grand prize draw, or submitted it past the deadline. These factors would cause a potential winner to be wrongly disqualified.

The internal audit of March 2013 was obtained by Courier under the freedom of information law. These findings were called high risk, which means an issue that should be addressed and resolved immediately.
This audit was of a free second chance Keno contest and not of the main game of Keno. The second chance contest was held once from Oct. 29 to Dec. 9, 2012, but BCLC has not run a major second one since the audit. The contest, which was also known as The Keno No More No Bonus (KNMNB), has been suspended until BCLC completes a deep-dive review of the contesting process
BCLC warned that these occurrences could result in the players disqualification if drawn for the grand prize, and negatively impact public perception on the fairness and integrity of BCLCs Lottery contests.
We take the audit findings very seriously, said BCLC spokesperson Laura Piva-Babcock. As soon as the audit report was presented, the lottery division acted immediately to address the reports recommendations and findings in order to establish an improved process. We initiated and are continuing an in-depth review of the second-chance draw and contest procedures.
One of the solutions BCLC is considering is to change players entry for second chance contests from retail locations to online, which would give them direct access to entering contest draws.

The auditor found that some retailers failed to submit a winners list for the grand prize draw, or provide evidence that the draw was conducted at their location, although the $50 Keno Free Play Coupon prize was awarded. As well, other retailers drew unqualified winners (e.g. non-Keno Bonus tickets were entered) which may have resulted in mistakenly awarding the $50 Keno Free Play Coupon prize.
Keno players wrote their name and contact information on their non-winning tickets and placed them in a draw box at retail outlets for a free chance to win a pack of Keno Bonus Free Play Coupons worth $50. The winners of that prize won an entry into the grand prize draw for a $25,000 prize and six $5,000 prizes. Grand prize winners were drawn by BCLC and announced on bclc.com For the $50 prizes, 1,150 retail locations participated, with one $50 prize per location.

Wayne Boyd was in complete disbelief upon scratching his Bingo Grand Scratch & Win ticket and realizing he won the game’s top prize of $100,000. In fact, Boyd had to check his ticket many times before believing what he was seeing.
“I checked the ticket about seven times and then realized I had an ‘X,’” Boyd recalled. “I couldn't believe it. I was in shock that I won!”
The Nelson resident had just woken from a nap when he remembered he had some spare change in his pocket, leading him to venture out on a walk and purchase the ticket at Wings Grocery on Baker Street. It was there that he also had his ticket checked by a retail clerk.
Boyd immediately called his daughter, who was in disbelief that he won.

Boyd plans to use some of his prize to help his daughter with her mortgage and save the rest, but not before he treats himself to a new pair of Blundstone boots.
