The lottery idea can't be worse than what we currently have, although I'd add a stipulation that once picked for an office you cannot serve in other offices for 10 years after leaving office - your name is permanently removed from the lottery. Maybe more than 10 years, depending on how high an office you get picked for - being president for one term permanently disqualifies you from ever holding any other office.
