There is the issue with 'meddling'. You can influence people into certain paths, but does it make it determinism if they are choosing by their freewill to take that path?

For example, in two days, Rhyfelwyr is go to his corner shop to get a scratch card which gives him 1 million pounds. He can obviously ignore this and think "Yeah, I am not doing this Beskar", but now I start working behind the scenes. I throw Rhy's milk away so he needs to pick up some more, I plant a sign that says the corner shop is giving away free milk, so he goes to the corner shop, then I get the shop keeper to give him a complimentary ticket which I planted there. Rhy takes the ticket, goes home, thinks "Why not" scratches it, wins a million.

Is that really determinism? I don't think so.
