There's a nonzero probability that the lottery is a complete scam, and the winners are entirely fictional. (The lottery in 1984 worked like this, but I'm not paranoid enough to believe this is true in real life.)

Sure, but a small enough one that I don't think it makes much difference to anything here. I might be missing something, though; if you disagree, would you like to say why?
