Vote for a Million Bucks

This is a dumb idea:

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.
How many people who vote just to get a shot at a million bucks really care who and what they're voting for?
