That's an optimistic way of looking at it. I like that perspective. However based on my experiences I feel the article is pretty accurate. I've had a couple of base hits and several more strikeouts. Although lottery is probably not the right term.

Keep in mind too that the top 40% of good and crappy apps looks more like the long tail. Not all 40% achieve "gold mine" revenue

To the original point of OMGPOP being almost out of business - the fact that they have other apps no one has heard of and one big success also supports the article's stats closer than not.
