Let event $A$ be "The line $ax - by = 0$ intersects the circle $(x - 2\sqrt{2})^2 + y^2 = 6$".
(1) If $a$ and $b$ are the numbers obtained by rolling a dice twice, find the probability of event $A$.
(2) If the real numbers $a$ and $b$ satisfy $(a - \sqrt{3})^2 + (b - 1)^2 \leq 4$, find the probability of event $A$.
