Lucky Lotto: To create buzz around Kombispel (that’s the Sweden scratching lottery, for those of you who are not proficient in North Germanic languages), the gaming company placed lottery tickets on car windshields right before it started to snow. In the morning, when people were scratching the ice from their windshields, they saw the message “scratching should be fun” and a lotto ticket. How lucky! (that is, if they were able to peel the lotto ticket from their windshield…)
