I still think that ideas like this will mostly only remove pp that wasn't really in circulation anyways. It's not like the people who can afford 500k guises have been buying upgrades in EC contributing to some perceived inflation among other players, and it's not like the people whose pp is actually changing hands are too likely to spend it on a 1-in-a-million lottery instead of just buying something that will be useful to them.
And if you made the lottery or prices appealing enough that people other than the super rich are willing to blow a ton of pp on it, then you've gone from being a "nonclassic sacrifice in order to make something else more classic" to "nonclassic sacrifice that only makes things still less classic."
I mean, it might help deal with inflation issues when Velious hits and all the people who have a bankroll they're saving for then would start bringing their pp out of the banks... but I doubt it.
