Is it not better to link to the toy capsule sense? The new "lottery" sense of ガチャ derives from neologisms like 親ガチャ, not the other way round, so an x-ref to that sense doesn't really explain anything.

I agree with Marcus. Without noun glosses, it's difficult to make sense of some of the above sentences.
Does this work?
