Comment on Thousands in Norway told they had won life-changing sums in lottery errorparent

"Figure out who won what" is kind of the core business function of a lottery, obviously upper management is responsible for ensuring that happens correctly. Not necessarily through direct involvement, but through ensuring the right people and processes are in place.

If they aren't responsible for that, what else would a lottery CEO be responsible for?

The winnings were calculated and paid out correctly. The error was just in the string formatting in some App notification.
