My interpretation of the U.S. lottery

In the movie, "The Island" (2005), directed by Michael Bay, there are people who live in an underground city in the middle of a desert. In this city, these people are clones of original human beings, although the clones are not aware of this fact.

Once a while one of the clones win "the lottery." The lottery, according to the island will win a clone the opportunity to some paradise somewhere. The truth is that wealthy individuals cloned themselves as an insurance policy, so that when a lung or heart or some other part of their body gets damaged, this rich person can have it replaced by harvesting his/her clone. So that when Senator Richie has a kidney disease, his clone 'wins the lottery' but his clone is really going to his demise.

What am I saying?
Every November, the United States of America holds a lottery so that the winners could become citizens. The question is, are they going to live a rosy life after they win? Will the winners live in a comfortable country in exchange for working odd jobs for the rest of his life just to keep up with bills. When a lottery winner, who was a medical doctor in Sri Lanka gets to the U.S. and finds a job managing a small bank, was that really a step up in her career?


To put it bluntly, I saw a picture of America needing more middle class workforce, so they use the lottery to get that diverse workforce.

Note: I am not saying that this is the actual interpretation of the U.S. lottery. This is just my personal interpretation of a few cases.
