Lotto case update

It’s good to see the Lotto payout fraud case getting more coverage.

This case is about whether Lotteries NSW (and possibly the newsagent’s insurance company) can leave the small business newsagent carrying the responsibility for employee fraud which seems to have happened because of poor Lotteries procedures.

The matter of breach of contract with NSW Lotteries is something newsagents need to investigate and discuss urgently. If a breach is proved, it’s likely you’re on your own.
