I am not sure if I understand the question. I think this is what you want to know: For "big" lotteries, the kind that runs on a regular basis with one or more drawings per week, the numbers are set up in such a way that it should take a while (on average) for a winner or winners to emerge. It would be a huge problem if there are so few combinations that a winner or winners appear at every drawing. The prizes would be small, few people would play, and this certainly wouldn't amount to a good revenue source for states. There are usually 10's or 100's of millions of different possibilities for the bigger lotteries. Let's say that a game has drawings twice a week, and there are one hundred million possibilities. It would take nearly a million YEARS before the game could even be PLAYED the number of times equalling the number of possible combinations. But, it's better than that. WAY before every combination is hit, there will be millions and millions of duplicates, combinations that come up a second time or more, before every combination is hit. I'm not going to try doing the calculations, but I wouldn't be surprised if it would take billions of years before every combination actually gets hit. Just imagine the time in the distant future when one half of all possibilities has been hit. By then there will already have been countless duplications. but at that point, any series that wins will have a 50% probability of being a series that has already won at some time in the past. You get the picture.

Are lotto numbers from the series of Fibonacci?

No ! Fibonacci numbers are in a special sequence, omitting many other consecutive numbers in between that don't fit the Fibonacci series. Lotto number are random. The range of numbers differs in different 'lotto' lotteries. A national lotto, for example, may use only the numbers from 1 to 49. The numbers are chosen by a random process, perhaps by having a ball marked with each number. The balls are drawn at random. When five balls have been drawn, the five numbers, sorted into numerical order, lowest first, become the winning lottery 'number'. Another lottery may simply use a sequence of numbers generated randomly by a computer. Regardless of the method used to create the winning number, the Fibonacci series is totally irrelevant to the process and result.
