Players are mostly poor to middle-class. All winners are rich, by definition. Not to mention that they did not earn any of it.
All winners become rich by the act of winning. Which shows that a poor person can become rich by robbing a sufficient number of his neighbors ... that is all. Not sure what your point is.
In any case, my post stands ... playing the lottery is a bad decision ... winning the lottery is a reward for making bad decisions ... and people who habitually make bad decisions when poor will not suddenly start making good decisions when they become rich as a result of a bad decision. They will continue making bad decisions ... and they will demonstrate that rich people who habitually make bad decisions don't stay rich.
