I wish I was that lucky!

Take it from someone that got a speeding ticket in December. Not good. I'm not sure what the fine will be, but I'm not looking forward to it.

Police in Melbourne, Fla. took a different approach when pulling people over on Christmas. About 30 motorists pulled over for speeding and were greeted with a surprise: scratch-off lottery tickets, courtesy of the police.

However, the gifts came packaged with warnings or actual citations for drivers.

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!
