Manitoba MLA James Bilton warns the Lotteries Act could kill local sweepstakes and give the government a monopoly. He notes the bill lacks protection for existing local lotteries and could enable cabinet control over revenues, introducing potential abuse. The proposed provincial lottery would, if enacted, raise about 3.5 million annually based on three major sporting events like the Centennial Sweepstakes.
