in Italy the numbers can be chosen based on the " dreams " you have! obviously it is also tradition to play important dates such as birthday, marriage...
or worse option there are a lot of players still play the "late" numbers.
although there is a lot of magic behind this way to pick number and it seems somehow funny, I have never played this type of game (lotto, super enalotto, italian version of "powerball")

Lottery is probably the most well-played betting game in our place. And I must say a lot have become addicted to it, except for myself.
When I bet, I actually have my own reserved numbers but I'm not keeping it like for months or a year, probably just for couple of days just to minimize my losses as well. And I never have tried allowing the machine to find lucky picks for me, that will only increase the chances of losing. Lottery is a business, so there's no way that they will provide us winning digits as that could be a loss on the house. I just trust my own luck and my own instincts when betting.
The numbers that you are given by the machine are not really meant to be some sort of accurate prediction of the numbers that could make you a winner, it is just an easy way to allow gamblers to get a bunch of numbers they could have never picked on their own, however while an interesting feature, it is not as if you could not have done this on your own, since there are many ways a person can generate random numbers on their own without the aid of a computer.

I more of witnessed scratch-type lotteries more often than we choose the number we want but even in that kind most often people choose their combination on their own not based on any machines and lottery bettors are more often obsessed with the registration plates of vehicles in my opinion and its some kind of superstition is common.

Anyone playing such kind of bet knows that they must have numbers of theirs that can be added to from others or the board.
I never liked playing such Lottery unless it is online bet and it's on a selected occasion still.
I don't see any difference between allowing the machine to pick numbers versus the current application of AI bots in gambling or betting apps that have odds. It's practically allowing another intelligence do the thinking while we simply go with the flow or opt to go with our own numbers.

I, on the other hand, just bet on occasional basis. If I feel the numbers are lucky.
Though I really don't have fix numbers but most of the time, the numbers that I bet have meaning in my life.
But in my experience, I have the feeling that I will never be lucky so not really serious on this one.
I just take it as extra funds that I can dispense without worry. Not expecting anything out of it.

The lottery is very popular here in our country you can find lotto outlets in almost every corner of our city, and there's always a long line whenever the top prize balloons I frequently bet in a lottery but every time I bet I just mark the LP sign in a lotto form which means Lucky Pick that is the machine will be the one to pick the numbers for you.
My reason is I don't want to have attachments on numbers that I'm going to bet because it will make me a lotto betting addict, some bettors keep their favorite numbers to bet and they make sure that they bet on it daily in fear that it will come out when they failed to make a bet.
In your country do you have this LP lucky pick feature in the lotto form and do you choose LP to make a bet for you or are you keeping numbers to bet, what are your reasons, and what's your success rate?
I don't think that if you have machine pick it for you, you wouldn't be addicted on it too, that's probably just a theory. You'll get addicted to it even if you don't have something like numbers to care for, addiction doesn't seem to have that kind of pattern. I think most lotto winners have numbers they care.

Will one win even more if he or she picks the numbers themselves?
No. There will be no additional in the winning amount. If you pick a set of numbers by yourself, you simply have the idea of your number sets. If ever the winning numbers have been chosen, you can identify them immediately after seeing or hearing them on the radio/television. Some people repeatedly bet on their set of numbers for years until they finally win the jackpot. People in our country have a belief that being loyal to your set of numbers in the lotto will make you lucky one day.

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.
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.

I do not play lottery, but my dad did for almost 15 years of his lifetime. He has a set of numbers that he was "taking a good care of" and it was composed of the combination of every member of our family's birth date. It became a routine for him to bet on it everyday after his work. He spares an amount everytime for lottery because he has this thinking that he might win one day and become and instant millionaire. I view it as a desperate move because he can just save and invest instead, but resorted to an 'easy way' which is hoping for the best and relying on pure luck. Good thing is he quit already. Perhaps he realized that it was somewhat a waste of money on his end because he barely won anything during that 15 years.

I have my own numbers kept in my wallet. 
I think many lottery enthusiasts do the same especially the old ones who had habitually betting everyday or every time there's a lotto draw. I don't use that so called auto pick feature of them because I think there's a chance that it is rigged. You know, it came from them so they might avoid what will come out once the draw happens. I have not seen or heard about a winner on this kind of strategy so maybe it is cutting the chance of winning the jackpot for the reason that I've said. Plus, it takes out the fun on winning by your own numbers.

Will one win even more if he or she picks the numbers themselves? It's gambling anyway, either you do the picking or you let the machine do it for you that doesn't protect you from losing your money, believing that lottery and gambling is complete luck makes me abstain from dreams, it's not bad to try your luck but I don't want to waste my strength on anything that have to do with luck.
I choose numbers, but having confidence in them as if an angel have revealed the outcome to me is something I can never do, losses waits for gamblers more than wins, you will likely lose that's the most popular results that everyone gets from gambling and it's easy to understand, if you are willing to accept the truth that gambling is beyond anyone's power and control.

Its an individual choice whether they are choosing numbers randomly or they will use their own keeping numbers as they believe that it will give them a luck. Gamblers are aware that most of the time, winning in gambling is purely because of luck and not because of some winning strategies as this lotto ticket game is operated by the machine. You've already said that it's not bad to try so it's okay to let others try it, especially if they have experienced winning even for a small amount.

I don't think it's about attachment though, I mean obviously if you handpick a numbers it means that that numbers have meaning in you, so that's attachment's already. The hard part is that you didn't stick to your numbers and one day let the machine pick a number for you.
Agree that when someone chooses their own number to bet on, the series of numbers has its own meaning for the gambler and they have strong enough belief that the number chosen can bring luck to win.Many gamblers are always confident in the number they have, even with every ticket purchase they will continue to include that number.
But isn't it true that letting the machine choose the numbers can actually make someone lose confidence in their abilities and they could be disappointed with the numbers given by the machine?
My advice to avoid this feeling is to use what we can create by having several lucky numbers.
I'll pick my own numbers rather than leave it up to a machine to pick the numbers. But the method used by @OP can be tried sometimes so that we don't have to think about what number to choose. Unfortunately, I haven't found that feature on the lottery machine at my place, so I still choose the numbers manually. But it's the same because playing the lottery really depends on luck. Whatever number we choose and using whatever method, it depends on luck. That's a lottery game where we can't predict who will be the winner in the next round. We can only buy the lottery ticket and hope that we will be the winner.

Hmm, it seems you got a point there when you say that it can cause an attachment. And it is actually true, as I always heard that people are adopting their numbers. The funny thing is, that if they don't place a bet or forgot to, their adopted numbers will then come out. For some, it can be the opposite. They think betting on random numbers are addicting. The same reason as when we play other random casino games.In your country do you have this LP lucky pick feature in the lotto form and do you choose LP to make a bet for you or are you keeping numbers to bet, what are your reasons, and what's your success rate?
We always look for a new one, after each one that we already tried. This is also the reason why I only have one favorite game. It makes me lose less here, and I can enjoy the game more because my bankroll will not be divided.

In our country, the LP option is also popular in lotto forms. Many people choose it to avoid getting attached to specific numbers and becoming addicted to betting regularly but I think more people prefer choosing their own numbers. LP takes away the stress of choosing specific number, and I like the randomness it brings. But I prefer keeping numbers of my own. It adds a personal touch and a bit of excitement, especially if there are meaningful dates or numbers that I find lucky. There's a sense of control and connection when you have your own set of chosen digits. Plus, it makes the anticipation of the draw even more interesting, wondering if your selected numbers will be the lucky one
I don't think it's about attachment though, I mean obviously if you handpick a numbers it means that that numbers have meaning in you, so that's attachment's already. The hard part is that you didn't stick to your numbers and one day let the machine pick a number for you.And just what, the odds of the drawn numbers is the numbers that you have been betting all your life and suddenly in just one day, you just decided to LP? So that will be hard to swallow for the rest of your life. So for me, it's better to stick to your numbers that you have attachment or whatever it means to you.

I have tried this one and for some tickets I buy, it is just one time I've got 3 numbers hit on the 6 winning numbers. Just to think that we need to hit all 6 numbers in order to win the jackpot prize the chances it very slim, it was less than 1% and if you are not too lucky, you will never get this one. In fact, some of my neighbors have been doing this for so many years and even hitting at least 3 numbers didn't happen. A lottery is definitely a hard thing to win and we solely rely on luck.
Most who continue to buy lottery tickets understand that it will not be easy to become a winner but that never reduces their intention to keep buying tickets because they think that by having a lottery ticket there is a chance of winning, that is why there are countries that hold lotteries because their citizens will always be interested to buy it and the country gets income from it.If someone regularly buys lottery tickets every year but has never won them, of course they have to win a large amount if one day they can get it, but for gamblers, even if they only get a small amount, their hopes will increase again that they will get another prize so that they will continue to gamble on the lottery regularly.

It's not as if the machine will intentionally pick the wrong numbers for you so that you will never become a winner and even if you choose numbers yourself your hope is still all on luck anyways, pray to get lucky or forget about the money, this is why I don't spend so much on tickets or any form of gambling in general, whatever way you choose to go you still have to depend entirely on your luck, if it's not on your side you aren't going to win.
Risk only what you can and don't depend entirely on gambling, do it like you are paying to watch Netflix or visiting the cinema with your love ones or family, gambling is good or if you make it feel like fun, and this can only be accomplished if you have other real deals bringing in money for you.
Come to think of it, how many people are winning through lottery ticket? The number is smaller compare to those who visits the casino to gamble or those who gamble online, we have more winners that gambles online than those that spend money on lottery tickets, either ways choose what you believe it's best for you, wish you guys the best of good luck.

Overall, the lottery game is currently one of the gambling games that is often gambled on in my country, regardless of age, especially now that lottery games are easy to access online, without having to bother buying the right numbers to bet on.
In our country, accessing the lottery isn't available online; instead, you need to go to the outlets to purchase tickets. I think many bettors enjoy buying tickets in person as that adds more excitement, especially with the hope of winning the jackpot. The lottery in our country typically has only one draw per day, and people make a point to secure their tickets, eagerly anticipating the live draw in the evening.
Just imagine the thrill if your combination were to win—the prospect of a life-changing, instant millionaire, as they say. However, personally, I lean more towards options with higher percentage winning probabilities rather than low percentage with high rewards, like the lottery.
Among the millions who bet, your ticket wins the combination is extremely lucky. You know what they say that you are more likely to get hit by lightning twice than winning a lottery but it happens to lucky people. Sometimes there are even a number of them which they are to divide the amount.
Therefore it's not impossible to win in the state lottery but you gotta be lucky. Allowing the machine to pick your numbers is the luckiest. I don't play the lottery can't imagine how the machine would do that but it must be random.
We may use a different approach in our lottery bet but we all need to be lucky to win. Actually, it's not a big deal though, what's the big deal here is if we could continue wasting our money or will be addicted on lottery as we would keep chasing til death. Whichever come first, but in life, we try to risk to get big reward, it's just that lottery is the easiest way but only once you are extremely lucky.
