With a lottery, which has already been suggested, you can charge <x> amount per entry, destroy a % of the gold and drop the rest into the jackpot. No one would know exactly how many people are playing and how many times they play, if you have a decent size player base you could conceivably destroy 50% of the money from each entry and still end up with a sizable prize pot to encourage people to play. Yes you will end up with some players becoming more rich, but overall the available gold in the world will decrease, and people won't stop playing just because they have won. That's how lotteries work.
