Stupid Tootsie Pop Question

Okay, everyone’s been told by some cruel person when they were a kid that if you see the Indian shooting a star on your Tootsie Pop wrapper, you win a prize. Obviously this is not so now, but was it ever true? I have seen many wrappers with the Indian boy sans star, so there is some element of chance getting the star. Anybody know?
