I am not an economist, but I do wonder how long governments can keep up this lottery deal. I would not be surprised to see them start limiting the total payout, and possibly even refusing to pay out more than some amount per year -- even if that meant extending the payout period indefinitely.
I also wonder about that 'ten to one' odds comment. I'm guessing that would be hard to do with a simple scratch off.
I'm guessing, though, that this isn't quite real.

The way government is going these days I am surprised we aren't doing this already.
Gotta admit- that'd be more fun than the boot!

But the idea is...intriguing.
