Confirmation of Ticket

I ordered my calendars for Christmas gifts on October 15th and have received nothing so far. Oh wait. I have received something — the runaround. Big time. They are sent out in packages of three and I ordered nine. So my three packages of three were all misdelivered by Canada Post. Sure. No worries though, they were reprinted and sent out Express Mail on December 6th. December 14th and still nothing. Not even one package of three. I asked if I could pick them up at their Toronto office since I live in the GTA. I held while operator asked a supervisor. Supervisor says no. I have already missed sending them out in Christmas parcels up north due to Christmas mailing deadlines. I would gladly take a refund and donate the money to another charity at this point. Never again.

I am having the same issue as the above poster. I ordered three calendars on Oct. 18, 2011 and as of today, Dec. 21, 2011, I still have not received my calendars. Today I contacted the AGCO-Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. Their phone number is 416-326-8700 or toll free in Ontario 1-800-522-2876. Stay on the line and you will eventually be able to speak to a person. They took my complaint very seriously. The woman said she would be phoning the Calendar people and the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Ten minutes after I hung up I received a phone call from the "Head of the Calendar Lottery" claiming I would have my calendars by the end of today or he would personally drive them to my house. Iam happy to say that I received my calendars at 2:00pm today Dec. 21, 2011 by courier.

I've had exactly the same observation about the uncanny geographical distribution of winners throughout every nook and cranny of the province, including scores of communities most of us have never even heard of. Half of Ontario's population lives in the GTA, and one quarter lives in the City of Toronto. lf the results of this lottery were legitimate, they would at least somewhat reflect these demographics. An ad on the Heart & Stroke Calendar Lottery web site even reads, 'We're all over the map. Is your town a winner?' Emphasis on the word TOWN. I smell a rat. This organization is clearly manipulating odds to play on anti-Toronto sentiment and freeze out its residents. My days of supporting the Heart and Stroke Foundation are over.

I have noticed that so far this year almost evey sigle winner is eiher near or in the GTA, Guess when you people from that are complain they change it so there are more winners, i live in London Hates White People Canada, and there has not been even one winner within the city and the closest to this city was the early bird winner in Branford Ont, 1 hr from here, from now on i will never support this or any other charity unless i am either personally drawing the numbers or it is done live, otherwise its very easy for them to just put certain numbers in the draw bin, can you say SCAM?

This is definitely a scam. How is possible that a town with only over 2000 people like Sutton west has 2 winners, kapukasin has 700 and yet a winner! Scarborough with over 600000 people and 3 winners. There many examples that statistically don't correlate with demographics. Toronto including etobicoke and Scarborough have close to 25% of the Ontario population but only 14 winners which represent less than 9% of the current winnings so far. I will contact olg to request an investigation and we should all do the same.

This is the first year I purchased tickets for this calendar lottery so my expectations of this is pretty low. What i've noticed is that their aren't really any asians, african, tamil, indian people winning anything. I know a quite a few asian people who bought into this and haven't seen more than one asian person win. I've also noticed that once you guys complained the results changed! So complain some more!
