Movie about mashines that see into the future and the operator is leaving himself clues in order to not to get killed

Hi, this is a movie my mom saw a long time ago, but we can’t seem to find it. Your help is greatly appreciated.

In the movie, the U.S. develops a technology that allows them to see into the future using some machines, and they use it to keep the country safe from potential threats. One of the operators uses the machine to see his own future before he retires, hoping to improve his future, but he discovers that he will be killed by the government. It turns out that people don’t actually retire; instead, their memories are wiped, and they are killed to prevent them from using any of the information they learned on the job. The protagonist leaves himself clues, like lottery numbers, before his mind is erased and tries to avoid being killed, all while not knowing who the threat is or who is leaving him these clues.

My mom doesn’t remember when she saw the movie or who was in it, but it was likely from before the 2000s, although it could also be from the early 2000s. Thank you so much in advance for your help. She has been looking for this movie for years, and I would love for her to watch it again since she loved it. and she is currently dealing with some health issues, so finding this movie would make us very happy.

“Paycheck” (2003)?
