Your understanding is not quit right. We get paid roughy a penny for every Gem rewarded through Tapjoy (and some videos play fractions of a penny but we still reward 1 Gem), so we actually get paid more per Gems if someone buys them from the App Stores.

I wasn't referring to I think in most interpretation of the English language, couple means two. And of course I wasn't referring to pure non-exhaustible rewards as only handful of players may have exhausted them. Even for the players who actually exhausted all badges and quest Gem rewards, they will at least find themselves at least in the top 100 and likely much higher, and the reoccurring rewards also adds close up to nearly two pulls (only 700 Gems shy of 3600 for a rank 100 player, who only has 23K power).
30 days of Daily Login rewards = 900
30 days of guild lucky cards = 600
4 Sunday Reward (minus cost) = 200
4.5 weeks of Hero Halls = 450
Monthly Badge Rewards = 400
Arena Rewards for top 100 = 350-4500
So yes, player setting at the top of the arena most of time definitely can squeeze enough free Gems for 3 draws, and for someone like yourself capable of holding around 10th spot, just counting the non-exhaustible free Gems is roughly good for 2 draws.
