And those comments sum it up nicely:
The message here being that it's not inherently the wealth that's the problem, but how that wealth is being used. If you land in that situation and immediately become some kind of Scrooge McDuck character: to the guillotine with you!
...but again, lottery winners are not the focus of the whole eat the rich mindset: if that's an issue you think needs to be tackled, I'd direct your focus instead to lottery systems, not just the lottery winners. Focusing on things like lottery winners is a distraction from the insanely long list of higher priorities like the Musk and Bezos figures of the world. So why even bring it up unless that distraction is your goal?
