I don't think that actual no. (or % of total) of tickets released for the lottery was made public, and the no. of tickets released for the so-called priority access period was also not publicized. For that matter, the allotment is very secretive and the lottery was a close door event and not subject to independent oversight.
When we don't know how many tickets were actually released, "tens of thousands" is simply a convenient figure that you desired to pick from the sky. However, if you have actual validated figures, please share and quote your source. Thank you in advance.
