Just troll the lottery winners history and you will see several players that won the Lottery with much less tickets than 500.
Be careful not to create a expectation with people that they would have a better chance of winning, if they have 500+ tickets, because the odds are still very much against them with that amount of tickets. 
I have a weird feeling that we are running circles here.
The problem is, there are thousands of those lottery participants 50-500 tickets and only one of them wins the lottery
Winning with 500 tickets is indeed not impossible for SOMEBODY. It is nearly impossible, FOR YOU. (Assuming you only control 1 account with 500 tickets
)but in order to do that they would have to claim the free coins from the faucet on the hour every hour and gain that much on all the accounts. from what i've seen people who do this are always caught sooner or later. specially since they have been improving their multi-account-catcher system
so i don't think there are that many who are winning the lottery through having multiple accounts.
