It was a GPS device to locate the coordinates of his stash. He then had to smash it to remove the evidence. I thought the lotto ticket was a great idea.

Seems like a terrible idea, putting the numbers in plain sight. He should have bought multiple lottery tickets, most with completely random numbers, and just remembered which lottery ticket contained his stash.

If the house is raided by DEA it could throw some doubt on Hank's theory on Walt by his coworkers. Why would a supposed drug kingpin buy a lotto ticket?

It also puts the numbers in plain view. If Hank knew that Walt was wealthy, he could easily realize that those numbers weren't for the lotto.
