It depends how early back we're going, but probably

Don't drink milk, work out.

Or winning lottery numbers or the 5 stock symbols of some stocks that'll take off. Though if you said Goog to me 15 years ago I wouldn't have a clue what you're talking about, nor would I really have had the money to do anything with that advice if I did.

Well, way to burst my bubble. Now I hate you. :|

You could say something like:
5 3 43 21 54 15 using 2 zeros as seperators
50,030,043,002,100,540,015

Two zero separation lottory 50 quintillion, 30 quadrillion, 43 trillion, 2 billion, 100 million, 540 thousand and 15. Thats one word for the number.

Good luck pronouncing that in 5 words or less.

Encode it as a binary string with 0's and 1's then convert that to a's and b's. Pronounce it as one huge word:
"Lottery binary a b abaabbaabb...." If you have multiple a's say "ah-ah-ah-etc" and multiple b's are "buh-buh-buh-etc". It'd be one heck of a made-up word, but I think it'd work :D

Those aren't words, those are sounds.

Plus, you wouldn't understand WTF you just heard.
