I mean, technically, lottery jackpot winners aren't deserving of the jackpot, no.
And I see you're getting it. There's way more luck involved than most people give credit for.
It's undeserved not because no one else could have done the same, is that because a lot of people could have done the same given the same circumstances.
Take your lottery example. If you buy one ticket, you have one chance. If you buy 50,000 tickets, you have 50,000 tickets. But you first need $100,000 to do that.
And the laws aren't being changed by some sort of consensus... of people who already have the most. And they change those laws to ensure they get to keep the most and anyone else who would like to get ahead have a hard time doing that. The large income inequality makes socioeconomic mobility more difficult.
