Instant lose lotto tickets

Wouldn’t it be fun if they sold big money instant win/lose lotto tickets? No numbers and no waiting; you just get a piece of paper from the gas station cashier that has the amount you won on it (most likely a big, fat “0”). Not too fun, but maybe people will think twice about spending a buck for a piece of paper with a big zero on it.
