Much More Than A Lottery: A Conversation With Atlantic Lottery CEO Patrick Daigle
When people think about the Atlantic Lottery Corporation (ALC), they usually focus on lottery tickets and big prizes. But its impact is much greater than that. It’s an important contributor to the economy through its role as an employer and the indirect jobs created in the region that support the lottery.
ALC has contributed $10-billion since its inception in the 1970s to provincial governments in support of public services like health and education.
