If you had a time machine

Time travel back to yesterday
Pick the winning lotto numbers

Profit

It would be interesting to see if games of luck and chance always have the same outcome.  I hypothesize it wouldn't just because I'm a fun-killing nazi.

I would provide an infantile version of myself with a list of things to do (or not do) later in life.

i'm not sure how i'd keep myself from misplacing that list however

I am a fun killing nazi too

I would say the likelihood of a game of luck/chance having the same outcome a second time is damn near impossible (almost as impossible as time travel itself)

The only way I would imagine it would is it events are actually set into motion and played almost like a movie. Making the contest not random chance but just what I guess I could call fate.

But what would account for the divergence in the path of the balls? Seems like time travel would be worthless on that case because history is the result of many such random chances

Other historic events would be more of a causality thing.

The balls landing on certain numbers really wouldn't have anything like that. It would just be complete random chance.

But it's based on physics so it's not really random... And if it was and such a random event can so drastically change someone's life then I would find it hard to argue it couldn't change history
