| Yup! That's what she said on the news last night. Then she announced,
"I don't have a husband at this time." Of course someone from the
audience responded quickly. I think the two youger women on each
side of the winner were her daughters. All I can say is:
"Good for her!!"

| It was 55 million ($6K a day for the next 20 years). Two
previous winners used numbers from their dreams. In one
case, the winner had a dream of his recently deceased
daughter telling him to use the numbers on her New Jersey
lottery ticket and that he could find it in her damaged
car. He used it and won!
Who says dreams can't be helpful...

| 848.3 | fate ? | SHRFAC::ADAMSM | | Thu Sep 08 1988 12:37 | 10 |
| Have you ever noticed how many winners seem to do so by sheer
fate? It's always "Well I usually play my son Harold's birthday
but I was mad at him so I played my ex husband's" or "I sent
my daughter to play my wednesday numbers and she play my Saturday
numbers instead"
Maybe it's just that we don't hear about the guy who's spent $30K
over the last ten years on the same number and it finally pays off.
I've always thought with all this psychic stuff around, somebody's
gotta come up with a sure fire way of predicting the numbers. If
anyone does, please give me a call. I'll put up the buck!

| I used Tarot cards once to predict the UK football pools (rather
like a lottery - pick ten games out of 58 which will finish with
draws at full time) and got rather close for comfort.
Not a good use for the cards. I never went back to re-check if
they'd been misinterpreted as they were so close (missed only 2
out of 8 and it would have been a $2Million win if spot on!).

re: last few replies
I've always felt that numbers such as lottery numbers are never
"random". Probably anyone with an insight into the ideas behind
numerology would agree. On the other hand I don't believe that even
*good* psychics or scientists could ever come up with a perfect
system of predicting winning numbers everytime. It seems to me that
the winning numbers of a lottery are deeply influenced by many many
things in the world and by all of the people who play that lottery.
Psychics will tell you that usually their predictions are based
on current trends and cannot be known with 100% accuracy just because
of the influence of the unpredictable human element. Therefore it
seems that in a lottery what you have is that same human element
multiplied by millions!
I myself, and various other people I have met over the years
have stories associated with numbers that they either played or
should have played. A couple of years ago during easter week I had
a strange feeling that I could sort of intuit what the Massachussetts
"Megabucks" numbers would be for that week, but of course I didn't
bother to play them. As it turns out, if I had, I would have hit
either 5 or all 6 of the numbers correctly. Another person who used
to work in this same plant once said that on the day that his daughter
died, he was sitting in his livingroom and some numbers occurred
to him, which he didn't play but which turned out to be the winning
Megabucks numbers. Many times I've heard stories along these same
lines, but I guess what I'm trying to say in a longwinded fashion
is that I don't believe that anything at all is random, but that
doesn't necessarily mean that we can simplistically figure out a
system to *beat it*.

I believe that crooked bookies from another dimension send the
numbers to their earthling relatives through visions or satellite.
Ain't this cheating!
Oooh Oooh, Wait ... I think I am visualizing a number for the
Mass Lottery.
five .. twelve .. thirteen .. seventeen .. thirty .. thirty-three
Ok, whoever had the buck out there, buy the ticket and send me half
the winnings.
Now you are saying to yourself, NAAAHHHH! he is full of
baloney, he can't predict which number will win. BUT what
if I can and you don't buy it, you will be kicking yourself
in the pants for the rest of your life.
"Damn, What a fool I have been, I could 'ave been a millionaire
if only i had listen to him, he was right after all, oh damn"
Make it easy on yourself buy the ticket. Hey, it's only a buck but
remember to send me half of the sure-fire winnings or i will put an
evil curse on you which will cause your soul to be condemned to
a building, which is inhabited by former IRS employees who yearn for
their old line of work, for eternity.
