Of course.  A moment's thought will make it clear that the list which
was finally exhibited with the correct lottery numbers on it was not
the same list which was sitting in that guarded envelope all that time.
Somewhere along the way, in the process of opening the envelope, the
magician makes a switch.  It's the oldest trick in the book, or one of
them anyway.
