The Mother of all lotteries

People like to gamble, but people do not like to pay taxes.  Imagine a system where people enjoyed paying taxes.  Kadizzle has found the solution.  For every dollar you pay in taxes you get one lottery ticket.  Pay a thousand dollars, get a thousand tickets.  As the money comes in the pot can keep going up.  People will love taxes. They will await the drawing with excitement. They will fight to pay more taxes.  As tax time approaches and the estimated jackpot goes up people will make sure they paid their taxes and will make sure they paid every cent they owed.  All the same hype used to lure in the current crop of gamblers can be applied.  Every month there could be a drawing, there could be special prizes, people could be allowed to pick the numbers, and on it goes.  People would get obsessed with paying taxes.
