But losing the 'lottery' is really bad news, in this case. So is there free will to pick the correct numbers?

You missed the point. The point of the example was to show the fallacy in using a simple conditional statement to imply the universal ability of all people to meet the condition.

Since you have obviously (in your own eyes) met the condition, why do you need to tell others that they have no chance of election?

"I'm there, you're not! Tough luck, suckers!"

Your whole doctrine is one of hopelessness. There is no reason to spread the Good News, the elect will get by and it's useless for the rest.
