As part of the financing plans for Expo 67, the Federal Government established I believe, Canada's first lottery, Lotto Expo. It proved to be such a cash cow that when the mandate for Lotto Expo expired, it morphed into Lotto Canada. The tickest were sold through the Chartered Banks and there were a number of promotional articles produced, including these very cheap pens. They never worked very well and so nobody wanted them, even in the bank where I was working when pens were always at a premium. At some point, I cleared out my desk and took a handfull of these home. WHY? So that today I could use them as the subject of a photo excercise.
