For the first time, the B.C. Lottery Corporation’s PlayNow.com is offering the opportunity to place a wager on the chances of snow for Christmas in Victoria.While it has been a snowy past few days in the capital region, PlayNow.com — the only legal, regulated online gambling website in B.C., with revenue going to government coffers — notes that the current forecast for Christmas is for rain, with temperatures of 6 C and 8 C on Saturday and Sunday.
For meteorologists, an official white Christmas calls for at least two centimetres of snow on the ground on Christmas morning. The whole idea is to do something light-hearted for the holidays, Lee said. Next week, the lottery corporation will take bets on which hospital will have the first New Year’s baby of 2023.
