think of what you mean by benefit. lets say benefit means resources. lets say the average person has 10 resources. average value of resources is equal to total amount of resources divided equally among all the people. some people have more than 10, fewer have 20, fewer have 30, even fewer have 40 and so it goes all the way up. There is a small probability that someone gets 1000 resources. however with many people small chance events are bound to happen. the point is, the farther away from the average value the fewer people have that value. No matter how much we raise the average value, there will always be a few people that win the lottery.
