The "rational recommendation" would be to figure out a way to decrease your effective ticket price (example: "Mom, next time, instead of buying me yet another pair of black socks I hate, just give me a few lottery tickets!").
I feel like you're fighting the hypothetical here. The point of the example was to illustrate a particular feature of rationality; obviously it's going to break down if you allow yourself other options.
