There are other questions I would like to ask. I have noticed that using the 'de', as in 'boleto de lotería' appears to have the same meaning as without using the 'de'. Is that sometimes correct? Are there certain words or phrases where this applies? Or is it a matter of preference?

In Spanish one must express belonging, origin, matter, etc., and that implies the use of prepositions; in this case, "de".
In very few cases can it be omitted.
