弗罗里达州墨尔本市交警：圣诞节向超速司机派发彩票

“我们正尝试一种有些不同的方式，” Jamie Rocque警官在接受《今日佛罗里达报》采访时表示。但Rocque表示，这些礼包中囊括了对司机的警告和事实举证。另一位墨尔本市的警官告诉ABC新闻频道，这些彩票只是一次性的圣诞节特例。“可以告诉大家，今天没人想着中彩，”Sheridan Shelley警官表示。“但愿没有谁会想着超速并希望赢得乐透彩—圣诞节的一次性大礼。”

不过，Rocque表示，警官们用自己的薪水垫付了彩票。“利用假期做点善事。我们觉得大家都感到很意外……瞠目结舌”这位警官表示。

如果想要刮出赢家，在圣诞节因为超速被叫停，或许真算得上一年中最好的礼物。

Traffic cops in Melbourne, Florida, hand out lottery tickets to speedy drivers on Christmas
By Eric Pfeiffer

About 30 motorists pulled over for speeding on Christmas in the Florida city of Melbourne were greeted with a surprise: scratch-off lottery tickets, courtesy of the police.

“We're just doing a little bit of a different technique,” Sgt. Jamie Rocque told Florida Today. However, Rocque said the gifts came packaged with warnings or actual citations for drivers. And another Melbourne officer told ABC News that the lottery tickets were a one-time Christmas exception only. "I can tell you right now that no one is getting lottery tickets today," Sgt. Sheridan Shelley said. "Hopefully nobody has it in their mind to speed and expect to receive a lotto ticket — that was a one-shot deal for Christmas."

Still, Rocque said officers paid for the tickets with their own money. “It's something good to do in light of the holidays. We're getting a lot of surprised looks … people don’t know what to say,” he said.

And if anyone scratches off a winner, getting pulled over for speeding on Christmas might just turn out to be the best present of the year.
