Serious response to the OPs question. If you want to make good money doing as little work as possible then there are really 3 ways to go about it.
First requires that you leave your conscience at the door and start doing dishonest work that takes advantage of people. Those Televangelists make millions for preaching for 2 hours a week and they all know full well that their spiel is full of shit but don't care cuz they are raking it in. As long as you have a talent for that type of thing and don't feel bad about taking advantage of vulnerable people, then this can be very lucrative for the amount of effort. It does take time but if you are convincing, it's easy money. Alternatively, selling drugs/people/guns/whatever is illegal can be lucrative for the effort. Once again, leave your morals at the door.
The next way to make money without doing any real work is investments but these are inherently risky. Not as bad as the lottery but more likely than not, you will go bankrupt. Some people make millions off investments but many more lose their house from making poor investment decisions.
Finally, the only other way to make money without working hard involves a lot of hard work up front. Basically, start a business. Become that guy who pays you peanuts. At first, you will work extremely hard. Like expect constant 14 hour work days for several years as you try to gain traction. Then as you start taking off and earning some money, you can start to pay other people to do the grunt work that you don't want to. If you play your cards right then eventually you can sell the company and retire with millions.
