Before 1967 it was illegal to buy a lottery ticket in Canada, but that year the federal government introduced a special law – an Omnibus Bill – to bring up to date a number of obsolete laws. This included a new law concerning lotteries. Montreal mayor Jean Drapeau, trying to recover some of the money spent on the World’s Fair and the subway system, inserted his own amendment into the Omnibus Bill, proposing a “voluntary tax”. For a $2.00 “donation” participants would be eligible to win silver bars if they correctly answered questions about Montreal in a drawn competition.
