I seriously want to do it, yet I've never been picked in all of my 34 years of living. Everyone that I know has been selected for this, some more than once, but I've never been selected! What am I doing wrong?

If they are mistaken, they can issue a bench warrant for your arrest if you don't appear. You don't need that out there.
