A homeowner in Millarville, Alta., is free to give away her $1.7-million home in a creative essay contest. Alberta's lottery regulator has finished investigating the contest and has determined it contravenes no rules. The contest sparked a series of complaints to the regulator, Alberta Gaming Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC), which launched an investigation. She said the contest did not meet the definition of a lottery, so it was outside of the regulator's jurisdiction. She was told her contest wasn't a lottery, so it didn't fall under the regulator's purview, she said.
