I doubled checked and I believe it is working correctly. I think there may be some confusion, here is how the lottery works.
The lottery works by adding up all of the buy-ins and multiplying them by 0.65. That means that nobody wins 100% of the money that was spent on the lottery, instead they win 65% of the money that was spent. Probably not too dissimilar from a real life lottery. I did this to help essentially remove a small bit of money out of the games economy, much like other things in the game are designed to do. While only helping a very small amount, it was put in place to help the games economy from inflating quite as fast.
