Speeding Ticket Lottery
In Stockholm, Sweden, a portion of the fines collected from speeding drivers is put into a lottery. Drivers who don't have any offences are automatically entered in the lottery and have the chance of winning some cash for driving safely. Motorists have received checks of up to $3,000 and the scheme has encouraged road safety.

#5 how did norway turn in to "denmark" by the end of the blurb? anyway, the program is apparently called the "sovereign wealth fund." also, the reserve per citizen is apparently somewhere over $100K, not a million. at least in the world's top currency. if the money was zimbabwean or something, i guess the number would be hard to even write down without math.

BTW, #18 is not 100% true. We pay more taxes than we need to the rest of the year to compensate for this. This is an old odd thing created so people could have more money for Christmas.
