It won't be easy as you'll still have to guess the right thing, but you can probably make it work.

    Only have to guess 10 times the number of digits though, quite doable for a lottery win!

    I mean, with lotto numbers you could just start trying to count. Once you can say the number, you move on to the next one. Depending on how the wish works, you could even try just sounding things out.

    No, no, no. You'll be blocked when you try to guess the wrong thing. You still have to try guessing on your won.

    The lottery numbers haven't been picked yet, so nothing would be correct until they get picked.

    That doesn't negate that they haven't been chosen yet, so there is no correct answer, and you won't be able to say any number at all for that statement. In fact, it may make you mute until the numbers are chosen as anything you say after that would be incorrect.

    will be.... impossible to know will be.... a sequence of numbers between 1 and 69

    You could be compelled to say any number of unhelpful things instead of the numbers.

    It's stil easy you just narrow down, "will be any number between 2 and 30" ok sure, "will be any number between 14 and 20", "will be 16 and 18" yep, it's def 17

    You are assuming you'll even be allowed to utter specifc numbers at all.

    Think a genie scenario would have you utterly blocked before the first syllable that could possibly be helpful.
