Wintario players who scratch and win instant Win'fall prizes of five free tickets will now have a full year to collect their prizes at participating retailers, says D. Norman Morris, president of the Ontario Lottery Cor- poration. "'We extended the claiming period because some of our players found it difficult to redeem their prize under the previous one-week limit," Morris said. Players win a Win'fall prize by scratching a latex-covered box at the bottom of each Wintario licket. If the word Win'fall is revealed, the ticket wins five free tickets.
