If you could see either all the numbers or none of them when you made your choice, then it wouldn't make sense. As it is, you're choosing between possibilities. Do you go for the line that has the most chances to win a significant amount or the line that has one possible chance to win the biggest amount?

If you haven't experienced it, why would you think there's some other hidden factor? I'm pretty sure it's just nine digits randomly scattered across a card, with each combination just as likely as any other. Which ones you get is luck, and which of those you choose is a combination of luck and the probability deductions you can make from limited information.
