Here's a counter example:
Supose that there were seventy million possible sets of numbers to be played. Consider the following two options:
Option A') Play the same set of lottery numbers every week for seventy million weeks.
Option B') Play all seventy million different sets of lottery numbers in one week.
In option A' it is possible that your set of lottery numbers never comes up but in option B' you are certain to hit. Option B is better.
