choosing the numbers and letting the machine choose them really has no difference.

If you play the numbers from lost, and the machine picks it.. hundreds of thousands of people will probably win.

I imagine the machine picks a number with the fewest number of wins on it, in expectation that the winning ticket will be lost or the owner will not come forward.

Remember this is a game designed to extort money. The only reason it pays out AT ALL is to keep up appearances. The computer is working against you. It has a database of numbers and the number of times said numbers have been played, it will do everything it can to not let anyone win.

Also, lost was a terrible series.
