Soooo... It's great to become rich through the lottery, but NOT through hard work and/or enterprise? Never quite understood that apparent disconnect...

Not political just human nature to think that anybody with more was simply handed it while everybody with less works so hard.
My favourite lottery thing is when somebody like a doctor or that people consider already "rich" wins. All of a sudden there is an out cry of "It's not FAIR" and "They don't NEED it". Need is not definable and anybody that buys a ticket has an equal chance of winning so it is perfectly fair.
