Yeah, it does give some extra lives, but it's a random chance and not particularly sustainable. It might save your monkey behind in case a big rush takes you down to a few lives, but it's not going to grant you ridiculous amounts of lives. Also, getting it up to the cash and stunning bloons takes quite a bit of work.
