How are huge amount of people losing out if someone passes money to their children, exactly? Was the money supposed to be given to the government and redistributed?
And as for the lottery, the reason that states/countries have lotteries is because they make buckets of money off of them. Is the state at fault, then? While I personally think it's a waste of money to participate, people choose to give money to the lottery, and are told up front what the odds are of winning, which are very bad.

In the context that, otherwise, it would go to the state in taxation and everyone would benefit to a tiny extent. > Is the state at fault [for running the lottery] I'm not sure what you mean by 'at fault', exactly. As you say, people participate of their own accord. The only thing that you could take slight issue with is the "are told up front what the odds are of winning" because (many? most?) humans are notoriously bad at rationalising probabilities, especially astronomically low ones such as the chance of profiting from a lottery.
