Just a small suggestion, what if you "cat lotto.cf >> local.cf (or 
spam.assassin.prefs.conf)" and test out mailscanner.. won't help you to 
really solve the problem but will at the least identify if the '.cf' 
file is not being read at all OR mailscanner can't read the lotto rules.

Also check some basic things like ownership / permissions on lotto.cf 
(already sure you've done that) assuming you are running --lint (or -D) 
as root and mailscanner as your mta id / group.

Hope that helps,
