Abstract
Every Saturday, and every Wednesday, millions of people club together and give millions of pounds to a few people. The beneficiaries are not selected for their achievements, efforts, or personal qualities. They might be the most unsuccessful, lazy, and unpleasant of all the players; when there's a hint of this, the tabloids enjoy themselves, but the winner keeps her money. Nor are the winners given the money because they are most in need. They might easily be richer than many of the other players, even before collecting their prizes there's nothing to stop the Duke of Westminster having a flutter. This can seem like a very unfair way of distributing money. But the players buy their tickets through choice, and even the losers benefit from the excitement of playing: perhaps it's just harmless fun.
