Do you have the same situation like this in your country where gambling operators are not getting the same treatment?
Lotto is more affordable to all people from all walks of life even nongamblers who are lured to a huge jackpot will eventually bet, I have a lot of fo friends who are not into gambling but when the prize reaches hundreds of millions they decide to take a chance, they don't even have to analyze a number they can also use a lucky pick of the lotto and they don't even have to spend a lot of money a $1 bet can get you 2 tickers, compared to cockfighters where you need to be a veteran cockfighting bettor so you can check what cocks are likely to win.
