Here is the official answer from the company:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tootsie_Roll_Pop

Thank you for your interest in our Tootsie Pop wrappers. We are pleased to have an opportunity to tell the true story about our Tootsie Pop wrappers.

Many years ago, a rumor surfaced that said if the wrapper of a Tootsie Pop with a star was found and returned to the company, a free Tootsie Pop, or any number of things would be sent to the lucky person. We truly don’t know why or where this rumor started, as our records do not indicate that our company ever sponsored any type of promotion surrounding images on the wrapper.

We hope we have been able to clarify this matter for you and we thank you for contacting us

Tootsie Roll Pops traditionally were wrapped in paper with icons and symbols, including but not limited to, an American Indian with a bow and arrow aimed at a star. From soon after the introduction of Tootsie Pops from 1931 through the present day (currently generating about 150 letters a week), a rumor has circulated that a wrapper containing the American Indian icon shooting a star could be traded-in for a free Tootsie Roll Pop.

According to Tootsie Roll Industries and web site Snopes.com[2], this rumor is not true. However, according to Snopes.com[3], individual merchants have chosen to honor the wrapper legend over the years, allowing people to “win” a free pop.

With the innovation and spread of the Internet and e-mail, many queries to Tootsie Roll Industries are in the form of email. Below is the company’s response, dated March 24, 2005, to one such query:

It’s an urban legend that you got a free tootsie pop whenever you got a wrapper with a star on it. Supposedly, some stores even honor that deal (or used to), even though it’s not an official thing. But the star itself doesn’t mean anything. The complete picture on the Tootsie Pop wrapper is actually an American Indian shooting an arrow at a star on the wrapper, and they just did it for variety.

It’s just some urban legend that it will give good luck. Don’t think it means anything.
