March is here, and it’s not just about the start of spring – it’s also Fraud Prevention Month!
Officials with Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) would like to remind players that you can only win a prize on their games if you’ve purchased a ticket. If you’ve received an email, a letter or phone call saying you’ve won a prize WITHOUT buying a ticket, or if someone asks for money to receive a prize, IT IS A SCAM.
WCLC says it is aware of attempted lottery scams in the region and would like to remind players of some key tips to protect themselves against scammers – whether through email, phone calls, social media, or even text messages.
Fraud Prevention Tips:
Unsolicited Communication: If you receive an unexpected email, phone call, or text claiming you’ve won a prize, be cautious.
Unless you bought a ticket through an official channel, you haven’t won a prize. In the Prairie Provinces, you may be contacted if you win through SubscriptionSpot.ca, PlayNow (in Manitoba), and Play Alberta (in Alberta). If you did purchase through these channels, you can easily verify the message by double-checking the winning numbers online, logging in to your account, or contacting the platform directly.
If you purchased a ticket at a Lotto Spot retailer or on the Lotto Spot app, you will not be contacted about a prize.
Always Verify: If in doubt, contact WCLC directly by calling Player Care at 1-800-665-3313. Never use contact information provided in unsolicited messages.
Do Not Transfer Money: If you are asked to pay taxes or fees to claim a prize, it is not legitimate. Don’t send money, and don’t respond.
Be Skeptical of Urgency: Scammers often create a sense of urgency. If something feels rushed, take a moment to think it through.
Keep Personal Information Secure: Never share your account information, passwords, or PINs with anyone – including over the phone.
Report Suspicious Activity: You can report suspicious activity to your local authorities or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, particularly if you’ve already provided money or information to scammers.

Are you looking to win big? The DC Lottery offers several games to choose from if you think it’s your lucky day.
You can choose from national lottery games, like the Powerball and Mega Millions, or a variety of local games, like the DC 2, DC 3, DC 4 and DC 5.
While your odds of winning a big jackpot in the Powerball or Mega Millions are generally pretty slim (here’s how they compare to being struck by lightning or dealt a royal flush), other games offer better odds to win cash, albeit with lower prize amounts.

The Chicago Bears have dealt with injury issues in the secondary throughout the 2025 campaign, and that led the front office to sign veteran defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson in late October. While he has only been part of the defense in the Windy City for two games, the decision to add the veteran to the roster looks like a fantastic decision based on the early returns.
To find a player with the experience that Gardner-Johnson possesses on the free agent market in the middle of the season is not something that happens every season. His successful addition to the defense also prevented general manager Ryan Poles and the front office from having to seek out a different player to join the secondary via trade, which would have cost the Bears far more than the $1.1 million Gardner-Johnson signed for last month.
The veteran defender shined again in Sunday's win over the New York Giants, finishing with seven solo tackles, two lost yardage tackles, a pair of sacks, and two quarterback hits. In other words, his signing couldn't be going any better.
There is a reason why Gardner-Johnson was available via free agency; other teams felt he would be a risky addition for their own sets of reasons. Chicago decided to take the gamble, though, and it is paying off in a big way as the veteran has already shown with his playmaking abilities and overall approach to the game. This has been evident to Gardner-Johnson's new teammates as well, with Jaquan Brisker offering up one of the best responses to the signing and what he, Gardner-Johnson, and Tyrique Stevenson can accomplish as a trio.
"Especially the way I talk and the way other people talk," Brisker said to ESPN's Courtney Cronin. "We get people's heads. Grown men will be really crying out there. Men with kids. Imagine that. Seriously. It's hilarious. I wish I mic'd up every game."
For teams looking to kick the door down and force themselves into the playoff conversation, much like the Bears are under first-year head coach Ben Johnson, these are the type of low-cost roster additions that can pay major dividends when they work out in the team's favor. This is especially true when some of the higher-priced offseason additions to the roster have not panned out thus far.
In Gardner-Johnson's first game as a member of Chicago's roster, the Super Bowl champion played like a veteran with something to prove as he finished the Bears' win over the Cincinnati Bengals with six total tackles, five of which were of the solo variety, as well as a QB sack. Including the win over the Giants, he now has three sacks while allowing just seven catches on nine targets for 40 yards and a touchdown.
Having a player in the secondary who can be depended upon should only make life easier on the Bears down the stretch, as the stakes are only raised from here. If Gardner-Johnson can continue to contribute at the level he has through his first two weeks with the team, those secondary concerns may not be as substantial down the stretch as fans had feared.

A former football hooligan who scooped £1,000,000 on the EuroMillions has revealed he nearly missed out on his windfall due to a technicality.
Daniel Wright, whose book Northern Monkeys is a fictionalised account of his time as part of Bradford City's notorious firm "The Ointment," was on holiday when he discovered his life-changing win.
Speaking to podcaster James English, Daniel recalled the moment he came across the incredible message he'd won. He explained: "I just thought I'd check my emails, and I saw on that said 'You've won on EuroMillions.' I thought it would be £2.50 or something."
However, when Daniel opened the official lottery app, a prominent notification confirmed his substantial prize. He said: "I wasn't really paying attention. I thought I'd won £1,000, then I thought 'That's not £1,000. I must have counted it 10 times, then I shouted 'Woo!' Like Rick Flair."
Yet there was a potential complication with Daniel's jackpot.
"I won the UK match matchmaker," he explains. "But I was in Cape Verde at the time. If I'd bought that ticket in Cape Verde, I wouldn't have got paid."
Daniel's ticket had been purchased through a regular weekly direct debit. However, he was abroad when the draw took place.
When he contacted lottery officials to claim his winnings, they questioned him about his location when purchasing the ticket: "They said to me, 'Where did you put the ticket on?' And I said 'Well, it's a standing order, so it just comes out my bank every month'.
"They said, "Alright, that's alright – but if you'd have bought the ticket while you were abroad, we won't pay you. Imagine that. Imagine if that happened to you.
"So, if you ever win the lottery and you're on holiday, don't ring them until you get back."
Daniel still had 10 days remaining in Cape Verde, meaning he couldn't claim his winnings for a fortnight.
That was sufficient time for him to begin worrying whether the entire situation was an elaborate prank, considering it occurred just after April Fools' Day, and then to start experiencing concerns that someone might try to sell a story about his criminal past.
He continued: "I think The Lottery knew that I've been in jail, but it's not it's not a rule that you can't be in in jail and play the lottery."
Once he finally collected his prize money, he wasn't entirely certain what to do with it.
"It's strange feeling because you don't know what to do really," he recalled. "You can do what you want so I went traveling for a bit. I got one of those train tickets that goes around Europe, and you can get on and off wherever you want for a month. But after a bit, I got bored of that.
"Even though it's great going looking at all these different cities, but like there's only so many cathedrals and museums you can see before you think 'F***,I want to do something else'
"So I moved away. I put some money into a couple of businesses here and there and then I just concentrated on writing books. I always wanted to write a novel and I thought 'I've got the perfect chance now,' just so I did that."
