Plus one of the main variables that makes poker exploitable (not greatly phrased, but you get what I mean) is the human factor - one does actually play human opponents and doesn't solely have to rely on chance.
One could also take into consideration that there are actually (hold)cards that may be superior to others, which is not the case in any lotterie, since all numbers have the same value, while a pair of Kings is always better than a pair of Jacks - which in the lotterie it doesnt matter what 6 numbers one hits as long as one does hit them.

good day
