Yes, you are correct. Sentence A), "Win the lottery, please!", is written in the subjunctive mood. The subjunctive mood is used to express something that is hypothetical, desired, or contrary to reality. In this sentence, the speaker is expressing a desire or a hypothetical situation of winning the lottery. The use of the verb "win" in its base form without any change in tense or form is an indicator of the subjunctive mood.
