You have the same decision or choice as me in that you will always be confident and rely on your own abilities, even though lottery is not bet that I really like, but occasionally I still want to try it just to test my luck.
Moreover, in the country I live in, it is the same as what you experienced, where there is no machine feature for selecting numbers for purchasing lottery tickets and everything still runs manually where gamblers bring their own numbers.
We should choose the numbers ourselves rather than relying on lottery machines. Even though we know it will depend on our luck, at least it is the preferred number that we choose based on our wishes. So whatever happens, we can accept it. We can occasionally hand over the number selection to the lottery machine, but for the most part, we choose it ourselves.
I also don't buy lottery numbers very often, so I buy them for fun. I also don't really hope to win because I think it will be very difficult. Many people also want to win the lottery, but only lucky people can win.
