Can't complete into the future task???

@AndreSchilder 

This is a Sims 3 question not Sims Mobile. 

After buying a lottery ticket you need to wait until the actual drawing before you again travel to the future.

Someone please help me! I'm trying to check the lotto records for the future guy but I can't because he gave me this same quest before. I have already checked the records and it won't let me check again. It says that I have to buy a winning lotto ticket in the present world. So I went back and bought not one, but three and it still does not work. I have tried deleting and replacing the town hall but that won't work. I can't go back to an earlier save file because I accidentally overwrote this one like five times in a row... How do I finish this quest??
