The other thing in your example, is that you are only giving one drawing (although with incredibly high odds against). I think that it can be granted that improbable things can and do occur. However the way that statistics works, is that they do not happen consistently. Now in the next drawing, you switch it up, and again, you get the exact combination required. This happens again and again. At some point, it's reasonable to expect that something is up.
Unless reality is absurd, chance must operate within some set parameters according to mathematical principles that transcend the randomized system in order to constrain it. The role of 2d6 produces a Bell curve distribution between 2 and 12. It never produces 13 or the square root of -1. So while the skeptics can appeal to chance, there must always be a rational order in the background.
