Well, we don't know how it works (if it works) in the context of time 
travel.

In a version of the universe where a time traveller returns to a new 
branch of history each time he travels back and forward, he'd find that 
he only ever managed to accumulate one payout, because he never returns 
to the version of history in which he'd previously deposited a payout.

He might even find that the winning numbers change in each new future 
(butterfly effect), making his lottery tickets worthless.

Sylvia.
