Is it possible to send ETH to an address that hasn't been generated yet?
I saw someone got mistakenly send an eth to an unknown wallet I don't know if it has been generated or not, looks like no one owns it.
Maybe if this is not generated there is a lucky person in the future will that claim this reward. Any thoughts? I'm not that good in this stuff.

What do you mean not generated? Someone just started typing some random numbers and letters to form an address and sent it? I do not think that is even possible. Well, you could do the experiment with your own eth to see if it can be done.
