Andy Warhol's prediction came true -- he said in 1968 that "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." For Luckologist & Multiple Lottery Winner Ric Wallace and his wife, they got their 15 minutes of fame with the airing of the third season third show of TLC‘s The Lottery Changed My Life on Saturday, October 9 at 9 p.m 2010. Ric and Sheila were the first Canadians to appear on the American TV show.
We have had many emails asking how much we got paid to be on the TV show. We did not receive any cash, and we will not receive royalties. While the crew was here, we did receive 2 FREE lunches. We were excited to make primetime TV on a USA network.
If you win big and want to be a star, apply to THE LOTTERY CHANGED MY LIFE. TLC focused on just one of my 500+wins. TLC said they would come back for my next big win.
The video below shows the dream home won using Black Squirrel Luck with all the cool stuff inside included.
In April 2010, I was contacted by TLC and they were here in May 2010 to spend two 12+ hour days filming.
For more information on how they contacted us, play the Lucky's Acorn Podcast - April 12, 2010 - below.
The people from Beyond Productions working for TLC had to condense maybe 16+ hours of video (our guess) into maybe 10- 15 minutes. We were excited that a first time self-published author would get his book, coins, pins, magnets, etc also referred to as Lottery Charms exposed to a targeted market of people who dream of winning the lottery and maybe believers in LUCK.
When Americans hear that in Canada our lotteries are TAX FREE and you actually get what they advertise and not based on a 20-year payout, their mouths drop wide open. Canadians while visiting the USA can play lotteries and get the tax back that is usually deducted.

On May 31, 2004, I got the call that we won the top prize worth $775,000 tax free: house, sports car, cash, toys. etc. This solved our aging car problems, roof problems, and other issues of living in a high crime area with drugs, prostitution, vandalism, graffiti, and a biker clubhouse around the corner. Winning this dream home and still owning a home in Old East London created some new problems.
