What’s the best way to get to know someone better?
Just starta friendly
conversation.We’ve certainly got plenty to talk about.
So let’s chat, shoot the breeze and share some stories.
After all, that’s how people really get to know each other.
Sure, we’ve been around for 35 years,
and lots of people know us a little. But we want you to
know the whole story about Atlantic Lottery... everything.
Why? Because we’re owned by the four Atlantic provincial
governments, which means we’re owned by the people
of Atlantic Canada.
But let’s not get all formal.
Let’s just talk about things openly and honestly, the way
Atlantic Canadians do. We know you have questions
about us such as where does the money go? Who owns
Atlantic Lottery? And, how come all the big winners seem to
come from other parts of Canada? Well we’re excited
to answer them... one conversation at a time.
That’s why we’ve created AskAway.ca.
It’s our digital kitchen table, and this is your invitation to
pull up a chair and chat. We’re looking forward to your
questions and sharing the stories that make us an
Atlantic Canadian company.
