Government officials have blasted an idea put forward by the Ontario Lottery to give away twenty two Mercedes Benz B200’s during it’s April promotion. The license to win promotion will see twenty two of these German cars given away and government officials feel that to give away German cars when it’s own auto industry is struggling to survive is ‘wrong on all levels’

Deputy premier George Smitherman lambasted the lottery saying he would have though the OLG would be sensitive to the problems currently being faced in the provinces own auto industry.
The American and Canadian auto industry is in grave danger with the current economic crisis and it would seem this competition is thoughtless and ill advised, clearly government officials feel that the Ontario Lottery and Gaming commission could have better spent the cash on home grown products.

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming commission run most of Canada’s biggest lotteries including the Lotto 6/49 and this decision could well backfire in the terms of sales and support for the lottery.
It’s not yet known whether the competition will go ahead to give away the twenty two Mercedes Benz Motor cars or whether the OLG will agree with the government and replace them but it does seem to be a bit of an embarrassment to the lottery and the country as a whole.
