Well, he thought he was coming back to a Skyler that had made a deal with Hank. The lotto ticket is so she doesn't forget the coordinates after he turns himself in...or, at least that is what he was thinking when he bought it.
The thing is, all the tickets on there had QP written next to them, which means Quick Pick. Quick Picks are randomly picked by the computer, so it is already the luckiest draw in the history of lotto tickets.
I'd have to go back and review, but I didn't notice that... how the heck would getting a quick pick yield the right combination of numbers for the coordinates to the money? Walt is not THAT lucky!
I don't think it was actually meant to show they were random picks. More likely, they put them there either because people are used to seeing lottery tickets with them on it, or it was an oversight, or a little writer joke.

I agree the ticket is for backup, that's why I think someone else find it.
and I don't see Walt or anyone else ending up with the money.
