There is no pattern in randomness. That's why it's random.
But to continue with your example of the lottery. Suppose that the official that draws the lottery numbers pushes a button to generate a number. The computer the button is attached to looks at the time in microseconds that the button was pushed, takes the last 2 digits and uses this as the next number. The official then takes a sip of his drink, checks his watch, reloads a news-website, or whatever and repeats the process. How are you going to predict anything if the sequences of numbers are generated in this way?
Note that this is obviously not how lottery numbers are generated, but it is a decent enough example of a random number generator that is extremely easy to implement and that will be more than random enough so that no human will ever be able to predict the next result.
