Is it random? Yeah. For all you know, 80% of all the entries ARE from NJ. Thats how probability works.

Also, most new players quit after a while, it's like this with every game.

Most people put in 1 entry a week. That gives them a chance, and even a slightest chance is worth a favor a week. After all, you can get 4 favors a day. Putting in at least 1 favor will give you a chance instead of not having a chance at all. Yes, the odds are bad, but putting in more than 1 wont help you in a noticable fasion.

Say there are 2000 entries. If you have 1 of the 2000, that will guarantee a win in a maximum of 2000 weeks. Lets say you put in 100 a week. That will guarantee you a win in 20 weeks. 20 weeks is approximately 5 months. 5 months of 100 tickets a week. That is 2000 tickets total. So, in a nutshell, if you look at the average number of entries a week, thats how many tickets you would need to buy to be guaranteed a win. 2000 tickets is equal to 200 real dollars.

However, chaos is still chaos, and while there is a certain amount of predictability based on the law of probability, having 1 ticket a week still gives you a chance to beat the odds.

nope. I never put more than one favor in. Unless you start spending hundreds of favors into the lottery, your chances to win will still stay quite low. I'd rather save my weekly favors for a cell upgrade, or for the next special amenity, rather than gambling the whole 28 for a 1/120 chance to win a sofa.

Darth summed it up well
