Because it's nonsensical.
You're assuming with this petition that none of the administrators or moderators have thought out their decision and that they've just willy-nilly decided that lotteries need to go. I'm
sure there was a lot of reasoning and debate as to the proper solution to the lottery situation.
If I remember correctly, most users set up lotteries in ways that would ultimately benefit themselves, and a lot of times the lottery died out before it reached a point where there was enough in prizes to award someone. Then, when it just died out, everyone had to ask for their TC back, which was sometimes already spent somewhere else.
So, the "management" looked at it, and decided it was better that all lotteries be organized by them, thus safeguarding the community from both dead-end events and scams.
