It takes from the poor and gives to the rich.

What fraction of lottery players are rich?

I don't know, but I assume (yeah) that it is small. Given the very low probability of winning, playing the lottery is generally a bad decision. People who habitually make bad decisions are generally not wealthy.

"What fraction of lottery players are rich?"

Players are mostly poor to middle-class. All winners are rich, by definition. Not to mention that they did not earn any of it.
