You can put the lottery number in your database along with a timestamp when that number was generated. When a user accesses the page, you can either display the number from database, or, if the timestamp was over an hour ago, make a new number. Of course, that won't update every hour if no one accesses the page, but why does it need to change if no one is using it? I guess it depends on what you are trying to do.
