A Fairview man has been charged by the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission with the theft of a lottery ticket.
The charges, theft over $5000 and fraud over $5000, stem from a complaint the AGLC received about an attempt to cash in a stolen lottery ticket.
Representatives with the organization want to remind everyone who does purchase a ticket to make sure they sign the back, and check the winning numbers themselves.
The man will appear in provincial court later this month.
