OP here 1) I guess that makes sense as most of the attention around lotteries is getting money, people typically ask for money when they don't specifically know what they want, and now that I think about the grubbiness of lotteries, if you actually know what you want, there are probably far better ways of getting it.
4) What kind of odd and productive effects would you predict?
The most productive thing I could think of would be being part of a spell for a gambling addict to shatter the glamour around gambling for them in some way.
And theoretically, if as you say the lottery tends to drain people's luck away, then given there's no such thing as 'away' it stands to reason that the luck has to go somewhere. Paying in with no expectation of getting money out might allow tapping into that luck as a payout instead, but I'm guessing you'd tap into the karma and grubbiness as well and it probably wouldn't be worth it.
In any case, I'm probably going to replace casual lottery play with my aforementioned meditation on getting from where I am to what I want, and if I need more luck, there's candles, planetary charity, and yet more meditation for that ;)
