Opening heading

OLG no longer reports to the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade. As of 2005, it reports to the Ministry of Public Infrastructure Renewal. user:yellowassassin

~ OLG should be ashamed of itself. Millionaire for life is a complete and utter ripoff. 8 NUMBERS, with one prize!!! The odds of winning are outrageous.

The goverment itself has become addicted to gambling. Quit screwing the people over, split the prizes up into smaller jackpots, lower the number of digits required to actually win (7 is just crazy, 8 is absurd). Stop screwing the people over, or eventually you'll pay the price by having a goverment elected that will outlaw ALL gambling.

~ Tercero.

If the gov. is in charge of it, how can we tell them to f*ck themselves and to make some changes? Is there a place where people can rally or write to?

Fair use rationale for Image:Sign your ticket.gif

Image:Sign your ticket.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Pro-Line

The inter-wiki link for Pro-Line is obviously not related to the lottery game. How can this be fixed while still maintaining a future link to a Pro-Line lottery page? Should [[Pro-line (lottery)|Pro-line]] be used in its place? - Yougottaeat 04:29, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
