This is something I was already doing from the very beginning as the RP are much more interesting than the lottery tickets. Before the WOF, I bought 1 lottery ticket every week as 1 ticket is sufficient to win something. And in the past one user already won the top prize with 1 ticket!
Of course, that lucky guy is a great example of the fact that only 1 lottery ticket is enough for a big win. However, the problem is that it only happened once in 344 rounds. By the way, I would also like to mention that I finally won 1 golden ticket.

Honestly, I'm a little glad because this is the first time I have won such a prize from the wheel of fortune since it was added to the site.

You do not have to buy one ticket. You could always gamble or claim free faucet and you will get tickets for it. Each ticket costs about 1 satoshi as well, and you can get tickets from wheel of fortune too which is free to enter once a day if I am not wrong, or maybe once every 2 days, based on your fun token this changes a lot. So all in all I have to say it is not something that is forces you to purchase only.
However even if you purchase, getting like 100-200 satoshi worth means 100-200 tickets and that's basically nothing, I get like 30+ satoshi each time I claim the free prize, meaning in 6 hours I can claim it 7 times (first time is null then one more each hour). Meaning I could get like 200+ tickets in just one day doing it 7 times. Looking at the winners, under 200 tickets kept winning almost every week, not all weeks I am sure but almost.
