In a Nov. 18 story on a lottery violation by a Halifax branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, The Canadian Press erroneously reported that a vice-president had broken a provincial law that says the person conducting a draw or involved in setting up the cards is not eligible to hold a ticket for that lottery.

In fact, Nova Scotia's gaming authority stated that Long had violated a section of the provincial Gaming Control Act that requires licensees to respect the terms of their licence. The authority said the violation was referring to a condition of the licence in question that stated a licensee or someone involved in the setup of any cards for a draw cannot be a ticket holder.
