Simple answer. Collectively, a systematic approach is better for choosing lottery numbers than a random approach.
When choosing numbers for a lottery, the best approach would be systematically. By systematically assigning numbers:
The best way to demonstrate that lotteries should be played systematically is by doing a quick demo. In this example, we will use a pair of virtual dice.
The green dice will assign results systematically, from 1 to 6 sequentially.
The red dice will assign results randomly.
Goal: How many rolls of the dice will it take so that each number on the dice has shown up at least once?
Systematically, the answer is alway 6. Try rolling the dice to see side-by-side results. Remember, the red dice is totally random, so we cannot tell you what your results will be. However, guaranteed the systematic approach will always be better or even to the random approach. From our observations, a LOT better in most cases.

Total Rolls:
Let's say 6 people played this mini lottery and the dice rolls determine the numbers assigned to the players.
If the 6 players were assigned numbers from the green dice, their selections would all be unique with no duplicates.
However, if the same 6 players were assigned numbers from the red dice, there would be duplicates and certain numbers would not be assigned.
On draw day, the lottery would roll 1 dice and that number would determine the winner.
There would be a guaranteed winner with the green dice group.
Not so with the red dice group.
The Odds of this demo work out to be about 14.7 rolls of the dice for all the red dice to be rolled at least once. Chosen numbers selections would always be 6 rolls - mathematically making chosen numbers selections 145% more efficient that random selections.
You can see first hand how systematic outperforms random.
How would this concept work for lotteries? Well, we did the math - and provided the results at our blog page - The New Standard for Choosing Lottery Numbers.
We are hoping this demo will change your thoughts on your methods of choosing lottery numbers.
