Speaking as the person who actually picked these lotteries and numbers:
Wouldn't it be simpler and just as effective to pick the names of the nomcom

random?
Picking out of a hat is random enough. It’s just not very verifiable. I’m not
saying that Harald would manipulate the draw, but some people might and we
won’t be able to prove to them that the process was not manipulated.
