It's crazy we live in a society that redistributes wealth from millions of desperate people to some one person who will then become rich by pure luck, whose only asset was that he was stupid enough to spend his life wasting likely 1000s of dollars on a lottery where 99.9999% of the players will get nothing.

Literally increasing wealth disparity just to create jobs for a few lottery executives and maintain the illusion that America is a place where everyone will get rich someday.

I don't disagree. In fact the vast majority of people people paying into the lottery are low income, but a wealthy person has just as good of odds to win as the low income people who play weekly. Its a regressive tax. That all said....... You can't win if you don't play.
