Arizona Considers $1 million Voting Lottery

I think this is a great idea to increase people going to the polls:

Arizonans will vote on the reward idea Nov. 7. The proposal made it onto the ballot in June after supporters turned in nearly 184,000 signatures, or about 50 percent more than required.

If the measure passed, election officials would assign a number to each voter who casts a ballot in a state election. The state commission that oversees the Arizona lottery would then hold a public drawing to pick a winner, with the prize money coming from unclaimed lottery prizes.

I would even vote several times so I could have more chances to win. Wait maybe this isn't such a good idea after all.
