The Rubbish Lottery: every disposable package is a 'lottery ticket'

The Problem:
Litter everywhere.

The Social Invention:
Every disposable package for a product (particularly products used by children such as canned drinks, crisps and chocolate) could have a unique number that is a number for a special 'rubbish lottery'. The number would be entered on a special website and the website would indicate if a prize is won. Prizes could range from cash to holidays etc.

The website could have an 'every one a winner' policy so that every number entered would reward the user with - at the very least - a joke.

You'd have to make sure that you didn't end up with loads of people buying hundreds of cans of pop just out of the hope of winning the prize.
