In a time based existence, determinism doesn't exist. Time is an illusion. Determinism is no more than the existence of the perfect now being just as it is now.
I will begin this article by asking this simple question.
If determinism was absolute and really existing within our time based world the answer to this question must be yes, but is determinism really absolute, and is it existing within our time based world or not?
If I was to ask God for tonight's lotto numbers for example would he know them? Does God know the future himself? Is chance in any way only predetermined?
If I can provide an answer to these questions perhaps we will know if we are living within a world that is really only all self determined or not.
These numbers have not happened as yet as an experience for anyone, and if God was to know them now he would be taking something partly away from the total freedom that he gives to mankind and to his creation.
The only way to win in these games of chance is to mathematically know the formulas. The mathematical formula for probability is not complete, and it needs to practically allow for the actual physics of physicality to be taken into account in order to be accurate. The actual happening of an event never takes place following exact probability, but allows for a uniqueness of experience to occur which is always different and which probability only ever just attempts to describe.
In allowing for all things and in thinking of this possibility within time, the fullness of certainty will never be obtained because all parameters can never be fully ascertained without resorting to an inner knowing, rather than just from blind outer calculation. We must allow our inner knowing to point us towards the probability influence and only then the factors will show you the most probable practical falling of numbers for that time.
Maths is a perfect science, but linking it to the illusion of time creates a certain uncertainty factor within it based on the flow of that time. The numbers if they fell right now would be certain numbers, but in another twelve hours time or when the actual event occurs the time influence is then different and unknown right now. God's guess is as good as mine or as yours as to what these numbers will be.
The numbers being time linked create a reverse flow of allowing the maths to create an influx on itself rendering the maths not feasible anymore. There is no chance in perfection. All is always perfectly known when this perfection is exhibiting
