The interruption has altered the puller's balance, timing, and state of
mind. So I say almost certainly not. It's the Butterfly Effect.

Scenario:
You have lots of tickets in the drum for the big drawing. You show
up at drawing time and stand just a few feet from the tank. The
Master of Ceremonies opens the drum. The designated ticket puller is
walking up to the drum. Just at that moment you decide to cross the
path to the other side of the drum. As you cross over the designated
ticket puller stops dead in their tracks as you are in their way. As
soon as you clear out of the way the ticket puller procedes to the
drum and pulls out the winning ticket.
Question:
Would the ticket puller have pulled out the exact same ticket had
you not crossed in front of them?
