Possible method of making lottery companies lose money

I thought about a possible way to work around the odds of the lottery and make them lose money. There are probably many many numbers chosen multiply by many people, that are all failing numbers but contribute to the pot. At the same time, there can be no two winners at the same time, but since the odds are heavily stacked against individual people anyway, this outcome is unlikely.
>Formulate a website where the people can display the numbers that they've chosen
>others know to pick another number instead
>If the odds are 3 million to 1, and 3 million people all choose unique numbers, there will always be a winner
>If the pot is over 1 billion, unless the odds are over a billion they will lose money/make nowhere near as much
Disregarding things like the taxes, as long as the total pot is greater than the odds (converted to dollars), there will be a guaranteed winner and the lottery company will lose money.
Would this method work?
