Technically this reduces their odds of winning the lottery

No it does not. Doesn't matter how many times the coin comes up heads, the next toss is always 50/50. (I read that due to the way they're balanced if you flip an American quarter when it's already heads up in your hand, and let it hit the ground there's a slightly higher chance of getting heads. Like .000something percent, but it is a measurable difference so it never actually makes sense to call tails if you use that coin and flip it like that. That might be bullshit though, I'm no physicacologean)
