The British Columbia lottery, or the BC lottery as we commonly know it nowadays, was launched in 1969. And since that era, the lottery has developed games which are extremely exciting, fair and fun for everyone who partakes in them. The lottery games also play a massive role in contributing to the growth of the province.
It started when the states of B.C, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba joined forces and began creating lotteries in Western Canada. The sales of the BC lottery began on August 4, 1974. A few years later in 1982, the first ever "pick your own numbers" of Canada was launched all over the nation and it was known as Lotto 6/49. It is a well-known fact that British Columbia lotto results have changed many lives.
Then, in 1986, BC lottery’s first and only online game, Lotto B.C. was launched successfully, along with Pull Tab tickets being introduced in adult social events.
