OLG boss in crosshairs as Liberals scramble to pre-empt new onslaught on error-prone agency

A Good Samaritan treated shabbily when he tried to turn in a cache of lost tickets;
A malfunctioning slot machine erroneously informing a player he'd won $42.9 million when the maximum payout was $9,025;
A misprinted scratch-and-win ticket that led a man to believe he had won $135,000 when he hadn't.
But the straw that broke the camel's back appears to be Liberal fears of a reprise of the eHealth Ontario debacle at OLG...
...McDougald was not in her office yesterday afternoon and did not return emails and calls from the Star.
She was put in the top job after previous troubles at the Crown agency, where it was found that lottery retailers, employees and their families won $198 million in prizes over 13 years, dating from 1996.
