A Toronto shopkeeper has been charged with fraudulently claiming a C$5.7m (£2.8m) lottery prize which four of his customers had won.
Police allege that Hafiz Malik had been asked by the actual winners to validate their tickets, but had told them they had not won and stolen their tickets.
Seven months later, he claimed their prize for himself, police say.
Police are investigating a number of other potentially fraudulent Canadian lottery wins by retailers.
