Can the natural numbers be uncountable?
Well, at least your proof is correct to show that $p$-adic integers are uncountable.

Getting exactly $n$ points from coin tossing
You can even generalize directly for a biased coin, and get, where $p$ is the probability of obtaining tail (of scoring two points), $P_n=\frac{1}{1+p}\left(1-(-p)^{n+1}\right)$.
