Retail owners in Atlantic Canada have been winning lotteries at rates 10 times higher than their statistical odds, confirms a review by the lottery corporation in the region.

"Can I statistically explain why retail owners are winning 10 times more? No, I can't," said Mike Randall, vice-president of social responsibility for the Atlantic Lottery Corp.
