If you want to win the lottery in Canada you should bone up on your maths skills*. Canadian law, bans “for-profit gaming or betting.” (with certain exceptions) Some lotteries, however, take advantage of the fact that the law allows prizes to be given for games requiring both skill and chance so they will put a maths test on the form.
In essence, there is a law against getting lucky in Canada, (Actually, there is a law against profiting from people getting lucky) so if you happen to win the lottery, you may to answer a skill question, which is usually a four-part mathematical test.(something like 8 x 6 - 5 + 9)
Well, some say lotteries are a tax on stupid people, this clearly is not the case in Canada!
*Of course if you boned up on your maths skills you may choose to gamble your money in a way where the odds of you winning are not so astronomically tiny.....or maybe I should stop calling down rain on your hopes and dreams!
