The three lugs are for the wiper and each end of the resistance track, so sorry, you can't just wire them 'to the third lug'. You need to make a separate connection to earth.
I seem to remember these pots came with a washer with a tab that could be soldered to (or is that just the MojoTone ones?). If not, improvise with something similar such as those which are often used on cars, then ensure the 'washer' is under the nut when you install the pot, for electrical continuity with the shielding foil/plate and other pots etc.
Alternatively just take a wire to another earth point inside your guitar, which if course would normally be the back of a pot....
