As I mentioned in an earlier post, the Torino Olympics have in cooperation with the Italian Government decided to introduce a scratch card lottery in order to reduce the current deficit and to create badly needed buzz. The game will be named "Medaglia D'Oro" (the Gold Medal) and 10 million of these scartch cards will be issued, but if  the lottery will be a success, more will be issued. (And the chances for success is quite high in a country which is famed for it's affection for lottery gambling.) For the price of two euros, which will be the price of a scratch card, you can win up to 70.000 euros.
