Nobody knows exactly. Derren Brown did not officially reveal the trick. However he took a pledge that there are no tricks or camera trickery during the trick.
However, some people have actually learned to do the trick themselves and have posted their results on YouTube.
Derren Brown has not revealed the exact method of the trick due to the Magicians Oath. An oath every magician is bound by, just like the Hippocratic Oath that doctors take.
There are some opinions on how Derren achieved the trick. However, they are not accurate because they are only personal opinions.
Opinion One
If you watch him looking at the screen when the lottery is on that tv, he holds the card, and has his hand on his mouth and doesn't move. That's because the screen has 'frozen', and the lottery is being showed on the tv screen, isn't actually on the tv, it's just pasted on by computers. He's adopted a pose that allows him to look like he's acting, and the fact he hasn't wrote the card because he'll leave that to when the screen 'unfreezes'. His excuse will be 'I wanted to write them in numerical order'. While the screen is frozen, they will place the balls in order so it looks like he's predicted them. While the screen is frozen the film isn't rolling. So we can't see any of this going on. The stuff on 'How to Predict the Lottery' is just mumbo jumbo.
He did not predict the lottery.
Opinion Two
My theory is that he did not have the numbers written down before the lottery started instead he had balls in the studio with the numbers on them. When the lottery was being drawn the tv crew focused on derren brown and the tv so whilst the lottery numbers came up i think they had someone placing the balls onto the rack during the lottery. So when the first number- 2 came up I reckon a member of the TV crew placed the number 2 ball onto the number rack of course you couldn't see this because the camera was zoomed in on derren brown and the tv.

Since Derren is skilled in all of them, yes, I would say he's a genius. He can also predict things about people just by analysing them. He can make people believe things that never happened. He can even hypnotise people such as making them unable to move from a spot.
