Dialing Do's and Don'ts: Picking Up the Right Phone
First things first, there are actually two main ways to contact the OLG in Toronto:
- Phone: This classic method is perfect for those who enjoy a good chat (or prefer to avoid navigating website menus). There are two numbers to keep handy:
- General Inquiries: 1-800-387-0098 (This is your one-stop shop for most questions.)
- Toronto Corporate Office: (416) 224-1772 (This might be useful for specific inquiries about the Toronto office itself, but for most things, the general number is best.)
Important Don't: Don't call these numbers while yelling "I'm a winner!" in public. It might lead to some awkward explanations (and possibly security).
Website Warriors: Conquering the OLG Online
For the tech-savvy or introverts who prefer the comfort of their keyboard, the OLG website is your digital battlefield. Head over to https://www.olg.ca/en/home.html and navigate to the "Contact Us" section. Here you'll find a handy live chat function (available 24/7, because lottery questions never sleep!)
QuickTip: Copy useful snippets to a notes app.
Website Warrior Pro-Tip: If you're claiming a prize, there's a specific section for that too. Just follow the easy-to-navigate steps and avoid accidentally sending your winning ticket to your grandma.
OGL in Person: Venturing into the Corporate Den (by Appointment Only)
Now, for the truly adventurous, there's the option of visiting the OLG Prize Centre in person (located at 20 Dundas Street West). But here's the catch: visits are by appointment only. So, channel your inner Indiana Jones and make that appointment before heading out on your quest.
Important Note: This is primarily for claiming prizes, not general inquiries.
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
