Time travel paradox

Hypothetically, let’s just pretend that the lottery is rigged, and let’s pretend we have a Time Machine. We use the Time Machine to go back in time to play the winning lottery numbers, but because the lottery is rigged, those winning numbers don’t win. So that causes a paradox.
 
What about the possibility of a random generator? delivering the numbers each time thereby whether you have a time machine and go back to before the draw its not going to be drawn the same numbers.

Random v Paradox.

A paradox can only exist if time is linear and all future events are predetermined. We have freedom of choice. Thus nullifying a predetermined future. Without a predetermined future, time can not be linear. Which in turn nullifies the possibility of a paradox.
