I think the point is employees under estimate the risk involved. I could make a start up that pays people in literal lottery tickets but I'd be unable to hire anyone because prospective employees can easily see it's a bad deal. Not the case for start ups.

I was thinking yes, but then no?! I bet you could hire a bunch of people with lottery tickets!
