When I was thirteen or fourteen, my father—who was pretty well-off but played the lotto very regularly—let me fill in one of his tickets for a bit of fun. I, being the precocious young person that I was, entered 1,2,3,4,5,6, reasoning that since the lotto was random, any given combination was equally likely to come up. Pleased with myself and with the laws of mathematics, I showed it to my dad, who immediately gave me a massive bollocking-out for having wasted a ticket on a number that was sure never to come up. So I can answer the OP: No, you shouldn't, because you'll really piss off your dad.
