Why lotto rhymes the way it does
The phonology of lotto is a two-syllable core: the short /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 21 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 40, assonance 6,733, and consonance 1026. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Lotto rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
