In 1975, Ontario introduced Wintario, and it quickly became more than a lottery — it was a cultural event. Shane Hewitt and Ed Conroy revisit the excitement of live draws, the beloved hosts, and the way Wintario shows turned into community celebrations. They explore how lottery funds supported hospitals, arenas, and other local infrastructure, leaving a legacy that still shapes Ontario today. The conversation contrasts the energy and connection of the past with today’s more transactional lottery experiences, offering a heartfelt reflection on how entertainment and community spirit have evolved in Ontario and all Province’s Lotto programs
