The site was launched in 1995 and was one of the first Internet lottery sites. It pioneered Internet gaming and processed the first-ever online lottery transaction. Since its inception, the site has raised more than US$1.5 billion for charity. It is based in Liechtenstein and is operated by the International Lottery Foundation (ILLF), a government-authorized and state-controlled charitable foundation.
In Canada before 1967 buying a lottery ticket was illegal, but in that year the federal Liberal government introduced a special bill (an Omnibus Bill) to bring up-to-date a number of outdated laws. The Omnibus Bill included an amendment permitting a provincial government to legalize lottery systems. Montreal mayor Jean Drapeau responded by announcing a “voluntary tax”. For a $2.00 donation players would be eligible to participate in a draw for a $100,000 prize. Drapeau argued that his tax did not contravene the law because it was not a lottery. The Minister of Justice disagreed and a debate raged in Ottawa and Montreal. While the debate raged sales of tickets dropped, and by the nineteenth and final draw sales had reached only $800 000.
During the course of the controversia Drapeau was replaced as mayor, but his lottery system continued to operate. In 1968 the Quebec Appeal Court ruled that Drapeau’s tax did not violate the law and it could continue. By the end of 1969 sales had declined to about $800 000 a month.
