The odds aren't per side, the odds are any side. Probability would only increase if after each roll, one side of the dice was eliminated. Other than that, the odds remain the same.

Would buying more lottery tickets increase your odds?

If they are all different (i.e. you choose your numbers and make them different) then yes you’ll increase your odds. Same for a raffle, except you don’t need to worry about the numbers as each ticket is unique. But if everyone buys more raffle tickets with the same multiple, then your odds don’t change. If everyone buys more lotto tickets, everyone’s chances of winning increase (but also the odds of having to share the jackpot).
