Buying ticket increase your chance to win. At the same time, buying ticket is kinda like gambling as well infact lottery is just a gamble.
You could choose either to spend money buying ticket directly or earn your ticket through gambling. Both are actually pretty much the same though because there is no guarantee that you might win something from your gamble . You could lose everything then get some ticket which is the same as buying it directly
Well, the common idea is buying huge amount of golden tickets will increase your probability of winning. It does not mean you'll surely win in the lottery if you buy more, it'll only increase the chances and even a user who has only 1 lottery ticket can still win the game. So I guess doing both, gambling and getting golden tickets is the right way, it's like hitting 2 birds in just 1 stone, buying tickets will cost a lot of money.
The bolded part also implied to gamble as well. It doesnt mean you are going to get anything from your gamble. In your post , you are making it sounds like you are going to make some money while earning some ticket ( the underlined parts )
Which is why I suggested that with the same amount of balance, you might be able to get some ticket if your main interest is indeed the lottery but if you are more keen on gambling then go ahead with it. Both choice is pretty much the same, Im just implying that though
