Not a bad idea

NYT:

TUCSON, July 13 — To anyone who ever said, “I wouldn’t vote for that bum for a million bucks,” Arizona may be calling your bluff.
A proposal to award $1 million in every general election to one lucky resident, chosen by lottery, simply for voting — no matter for whom — has qualified for the November ballot.

It would surely increase turnout. The problem is that its legality is dubious. And of course, it won't happen here.
