This really assumes that financial planning is the issue. It's a symptom of the problem. The winners of the lottery are ill equipped to pass on the life skills for success, because generally they don't have them. While tons of people gripe about the accumulated wealth of the upper class, there is some socialization in upper class families that sets the children up to succeed -- it's not just an increased access to connections.
I say this as someone who lived in a four person family that lived on a single welfare check for years. There is a huge cultural difference between those who are systemically poor, situationally poor, and the upper class.
Learning upper class behaviors -- and unlearning my 'poor person' behaviors -- has had an immensely positive effect on my life and the way that I handle situations.
