I'm trying to understand your illustration of FTL communication.

Thanks for posting it.

So, if today (Earth time), I sent a signal beam of today's winning lottery numbers to a reflector a sufficient distance away from the Earth at a FTL speed, would I receive back the reflection of the message of today's winning lottery numbers before today(Earth time)?

If the "reflector" is moving away from you sufficiently fast, yes.
