AZ: Cast a Vote, Win A Million Dollars?

This is a very good idea to boost voter participation: Arizona voters will vote in November on a voter initiative to award one million dollars to a single voter in every statewide election drawn at random. If enacted, it would be retroactive and apply to the November 2006 election.

Interestingly, Arizona already has reasonably high voter turnout (by US standards): 60 percent of eligible voters are registered, and 77 percent of them voted in the 2004 Presidential election.

It's sort of disturbing to me that the voter initiative preys upon lack of mathematical sophistication (and pure greed) to improve voter participation, but in balance I do think its a good idea.
