If you consider Ontario lotteries a kind of tax on the poor, get ready to see the poor taxed a lot more. And you may have to wait behind them at the supermarket check out too. The Ontario government says it will expand the sale of lottery tickets at supermarket and big box store checkouts across the province. That means multiple-lane sales at stores instead of selling tickets at just one lottery checkout. This follows a recommendation from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. Other recommendations: include an online casino and a new casino in or near Toronto. Can door-to-door lottery sales be far behind? Hey, don’t get us wrong. Live and let gamblers live. But the sale of lottery tickets will slow down the checkout process noticeably.
