Will you actually win the lottery when the draw of the same exact date occurs?

Possibly if you get there right before the drawing. The longer you're there, the more your actions will cause events to diverge.

There have been a lot of threads recently where someone posts about a fictional situation that they made up and then asks you how the rules of their fictional situation works.

If I could fly by flapping my arms, how fast could I go?
If I had X-Ray vision, could I see naked ladies, or would I just see their guts?

No, you could go back in time to a different draw of numbers. Random!

Unless you believe the 8-ball comes back out of the pocket, gets struck by the que ball again and then goes back into the pocket. Only to repeat.
