You have to pick:

Gain complete control over a patch of land measuring 256 meters by 256 meters and located in a random spot somewhere on Earth. You're able to magically reshape it and anything on it in any way that you desire.
 
or
 
ATMs will release any sum of money requested to anyone. However, for each dollar you take out one ticket in your name is entered into a draw. At the end of each week a single name is drawn and that person is killed.

That could be really interesting. Greedy people have a much higher chance at death, and the possibility of death would hopefully keep most sane people in check. Of course, there's a good chance that riots would ensue...

One possible workaround: take out billions of dollars, then use a portion of that to hire a mercenary army to protect me from the lottery enforcers.

Well, you could raise an island from the ocean floor if need be. But it occurs to me that the literal reading of this specifies a "patch of land", so it makes sense that the random location would not be in an ocean or lake.

I found a website that serves up random locations on Earth and kept clicking until the first one that was on land. I got a spot just inside the northern edge of Bandingilo National Park in South Sudan. Looks like a pretty nice place, and not too hard to get to (I'd hate to have hit a spot in Antarctica or the heart of the Sahara or something like that). The local political situation could be a bit tricky, though, South Sudan is wretchedly poor and wracked with civil war. I'd probably want to keep a low profile.

On the good side, greedy people would probably lead themselves to their own demise.
On the bad side, the value of/trust in the dollar would crash instantly.
