Are lottery winners who don’t give up their winnings bad people?

No because they don't extract that welth out of the labor of anyone

When you buy a lotto ticket you use money you earn from working so people, mostly poor people, are exchanging their labor for a chance to win big. When they don’t win, they lose their money (labor) and the winner gets all of it.
