Yes, yes, it does mean lots, no doubt about that. The holiday is named after that.
But many times in Jewish tradition, things are looked at deeper than what is on the surface.
Yom Kippur also has "lots" and there are thoughts of it's connection to Purim, sometimes called "Yom Kippurim".
Judaism looks at things as a whole, as everything being connected, not just the individual parts.
So there is no real one answer to your question as it relates specifically to Haman's lots and why the holiday is named after that.
