Money is also the root of a lot of strife, both within families and beyond, both for people who have money and those that don't. People should have a right to privacy in their financial affairs.

Correct. Look at lottery winners and see how their lives are ruined when it becomes public knowledge that they are suddenly worth a lot of money.

How does removing a multi-million dollar lottery solve the issue of making everyone's salaries public and having the same issue there?

Lower stakes, lower tax income.
