I think NO would be the safest answer; you definitely shouldn't be driving around on 4 lugs. How exactly do you "lose" a lug? If it was that easy to lose one lug(maybe not torqued down correctly?), your other 4 could be lost just as easily.

Actually it is not safe to drive on 4 lug nuts.

Short term, you're fine. Long term no. By short term, I mean long enough to go to the nearest place to get another one at a nearby auto parts store. Put it on and you're fine until you can get a matching one at the dealership.
