It would be like saying you've an edge if you start earlier at the roulette.

I think you're confused.
In a lottery, the more tickets you buy, the higher your chances to have the winning number.
If we played with a roulette and said "the goal is to be the first to have a winning number at the roulette" and I could try 50 times before you started, obviously I would be more likely to win our game, wouldn't I?

Yes, but everyone else is still buying tickets for yesterday's jackpot, while you're busy accumulating them for tomorrow's.
