Have you ever won a lottery?

I've bought a lottery a few times, but they all were miss. Probabilistically I think they eventually will be a waste of time, people say that is like a buying dream though. Rather than that, I would like to try an investment like stock or real estate. Starting from a small amount of course.

I've bought a lottery ticket a few times, but they all were misnone were winners.

Probabilistically I think they eventually will bare a waste of time,. However people say thaa lottery ticket is like a buying a dream though.

You could say 'probabilistically' but 'statistically' would be another valid word choice. I get the contrast you're going for with the second statement, but splitting it into two sentences makes it clearer.

Rather than that, I would like to try an investment like stock or real estate.

Great ambitions! Lottery tickets are appealing in the 'get rich quick scenario' though :)

Thank you very much for your careful corrections.
When I think of sentences, I think about the sentence structure and expressions in Japanese and then translate them into English.
I guess I still need more practice to be able to think in English from the start.
