The province's finance minister says the bill is necessary to protect the health and safety of Quebecers because ill

No names and definitely no picture of me in the paper, said Brigitte Serpa, a waitress at the Euro Deli on St. Laurent Blvd. who spends about $40 a month on Super 7 and 6/49 tickets. Serpa, 34, said a new Loto-Quebec policy not to publicize any details about people who win more than $4 million suits her just fine. The publicity restriction comes after an alleged extortion plot

Quebec Lottery winners' names to kept secretReply
