I agree that providing accountability to evaluators is a real challenge. I don’t have much more to add right now, other than we really hope our work will help!
As for your last point—at least from a simple expected-value perspective, I’m not sure you should care too much about other lottery participant’s values. The idea is that by donating to the lotter, you’re not increasing the expected amount of money other participants influence. Of course, there could be other reasons to not want to participate in lotteries with people whose values you don’t share.

Re: value alignment, that’s a great point, it looks like I fell victim to a bit of loss aversion! (I imagine I’m not alone)
