You are obviously correct here… if someone should win the lottery and become wealthy… they would not necessarily be alphas… just lucky… in this… as in every other situation… there are exceptions…

Would an alpha have to be financially wealthy or are there other means of enrichment which they can amass and use as an alpha.
Being an alpha does not necessarily entail the quest for money… Dr Martin Luther King certainly was an alpha… yet he was not after money… Lance Armstrong is certainly an alpha… yet his prime motivation probably was not money… world class athletes are certainly alphas… however… money is probably not their prime motivation…

An alpha is an assertive person… not necessarily a money hound…
