I do agree that fiscal responsibility (for individuals) should be praised over buying lottery tickets, especially since such a small % of the modern population actually practices it. But being "self-made" has nothing to do with being fiscally responsible, and has everything to do with luck, connections, inherited wealth, etc. Yes of course some self-made millionaires were in fact hard-working people who had the right idea at the right time, but they are certainly in the minority compared to those who were born into wealth and connections.

Yup, it all comes down to 100% luck in any given place and time.  'Hardworking', is also a product of luck.  The whole idea of being "self-made" is about as attainable as deciding who your parents are going to be before you are born.
