Sometimes synchronicity is so obvious that even the Associated Press recognizes it.

Powerball ticket worth $232.1M sold in Winner, SD
By CHET BROKAW Associated Press Writer , The Associated Press – WINNER, S.D.
Friends and neighbors greeted each other in this south-central South Dakota farm and ranch town with one question Thursday: Who won?
Word spread quickly that a winning Powerball ticket worth $232.1 million had been sold in town.
In businesses scattered along U.S. Highway 18 and in the brick buildings on Main Street, speculation about the big winner dominated conversations.
At the Ampride gas station and convenience store, one man walked in to pay for gasoline and asked, “Is this the store that sold the ticket?”
The only winning ticket for Wednesday night’s jackpot was sold in Winner, population 2,800.
“How often does something like this happen _ a winner in Winner, S.D.?” said Norm Lingle, executive director of the South Dakota Lottery.
“We’re a small state. We don’t expect to have a lot of winners but when we do have that and it falls in Winner, what more can you ask for?”
Late Thursday afternoon, Lingle said the Lottery had been contacted by the apparent winner.
It’s the ninth-largest Powerball jackpot ever and the biggest ever paid out in South Dakota, he said.

The article listed the winning numbers as: 5,6,7,12,16,21.
UPDATE:
The winner was a 23-year-old dirt poor rancher named Neal Wanless. He’s single, and lives with his parents. They don’t have a phone and their mobile home was repossessed last year, and they’re $3,500 behind on taxes. Neal’s father collects scrap metal an re-sells it, but the prices have dropped in recent years. Neal will collect $88 million after taxes.
Synchronicity my ass-man! What a load of complete and utter tosh.
Good one, Jim. Check out the update on the winner from Winner. His name is Wanless, one letter from Winless, but not a concern now.

Mercury went direct tonight in Taurus – at 9:18 PM eastern. This means an end to miscommunication, to travel, car, and computer snafus. It means that whatever has been shoved to the back burner can now be put on the front burner again. For Geminis and Virgos, ruled by Mercury, it means it’s time to rock n roll; and move forward again.
May – do you watch the TV show numbers??
The article by Ellen Winner list a curious trait common to gifted children – a fascination with numbers and numerical patterns.
Maybe the ‘winner’ synchronicity is meant to point out the numbers 232.1?
Note the English/French week days—#1 Monday/lunedi( ‘Moon day’); #2 Tuesday/Mardi (‘Mar’s day’); #3 Wednesday/Mercredi( ‘Mercury day’…or Woden day)… all Represent numbers which are also planets, moon and Sun.
The #3 sandwiched between 2’s might be something. The 3 is Mercury, which in origin was: Merqurius, Mirqurios or Mircurios. These have a semblance in sound to‘mer- aquarius’ ( mer – Ocean /mother in French—water) and Aquarius (the water bearer—a masculine sign).
Sounds like an Astrology base message, and I’ve been hearing a lot about Mercury and duality signs lately… maybe someone else can see a pattern?
May Ocean wrote that she was involved in a court case yesterday. In preparation, she researched the subject of gifted children. In that research, she came across reference to an article, “Gifted Children: Myths and Realities. The author:Ellen Winner.
Keith Olbermann commented on that story last night and said, “A winner in Winner. We should’ve seen that one coming.”
