Because you literally just described a scam. I'm not judging you, but stating a fact. And this is why we wonder how those in power get corrupted.

What makes it a scam?

Someone pays you to buy them a lottery ticket. That lottery ticket wins millions. And instead giving that person the winnings, you just run away with it and leave them high and dry.

How is that not a scam?
