And I imagine they will likely easily farm group content solo, or sell their account for real profit.
After any combat skills get toned down a good portion of people who did those builds struggled to transition from super-high DPS to good DPS. I imagine after playing on easy mode, the winner would quit shortly after. Or even during his/her dragon-month. This short-cut dragon lotto system you thought of is an interesting idea, but its a reward with no work.
Having a strong build with the right mods on the right skills is not easy and takes a lot of time. You'll go down the wrong path most of the time, but I think thats the point of the game. Figuring out the game, finding the right skills with an enjoyable play style is enjoyable. I believe in no shortcuts for anyone, even the lucky. Waiting for the 1st of the month to see if you're going to spend the next 4 weeks as something exclusive is probably not in the PG spirit.
