Chaos theory is about finding randomness out of order, not randomly randomizing order. One of the famous experiments is the pendulum — which has a specific order to its cycle.
The Chaos Theory version says “Let’s put the base of the pendulum on a vertical spring”. Physics-based hijinks ensue, including certain cycles where the pendulum does a 360 (or some multiple thereof) just when you thought it was running out of energy.

Take them all off, keep the one you like, and then the rest back. It’s just a wall peg.

It’s not Chaos when the “random numbers” are put in order on a peg.

If they could make it truly random and write the computer code for that algorithm, they could make an awful lot of money.

You don’t know if you’ll still be alive when your number gets called.

From Chaos eventually comes Order, from Order eventually comes Chaos.
