1-900 Jackpot Inc. has a very interesting type of lottery up their sleeves. It is called the "Lifestyles Immigration Lottery", which is essentially aimed at foreigners who might be interested in immigrating to Canada. According to a recent press release issued by 1-900 Jackpot, the Mexican based lottery firm, Emerge Enterprises, has stated a lottery license will be approved in September to begin selling the tickets in Mexico. Furthermore, there is supposedly interest from other countries as well, including Russia, China and India.

The tickets will begin selling in October of this year, with the first jackpot draw expected to take place by December 31, 2007. Depending on the success of the lottery, multiple draws are planned throughout the year. Indeed, it shall be interesting to see how the lottery is embraced, considering each ticket will cost $103 each, with a total of 1 million tickets being sold. With a 1 in a million chance of winning, $103 might not be worth the risk to foreigners who obviously might be struggling to begin with if they are hoping to immigrate to Canada.

The prize package for one single winner includes $10 million in cash, a $1 million home in Canada, a $100,000 car, a 7-year employment contract worth $3.9 million, and assistance in meeting immigration requirements for becoming a citizen of Canada. A little strange to say the least, it can't be said this lottery is anything but unique. Lifestyles Immigration Lottery will hopefully make at least one person's immigration dreams come true.
