I have been thinking about this for quite a while, and have you noticed how the lottery is very popular in Denmark? Everyone goes on about winning the lottery all the time.
I reckon it's a socialist thing, with a life of high taxes, eternal debt and thus lifetime slavery, the lottery is advertised as your ticket out. Working hard will never get you anywhere, since most of the extra you earn disappears with the higher tax rates.
Britain's introduction of the lottery about 12 years ago coincided with the end of Thatcherism and a beginning of the decline into higher taxes and more socialism (child tax credits, IR35, etc.)
All very reminiscent of the film "The Island". In case you haven't seen it, all these people live in a complex, convinced that the world outside is polluted by a major nuclear war. There is a lottery - and the winner gets to go and live on an unspoilt desert island. In reality they die...hmmm....
