In Florida, there are lottery draws every Wednesday and Saturday evenings. You can play the regular Lotto – for just a buck – or you can play the Powerball, for two bucks. Wednesday afternoon, I decided to go big time and bought a Powerball ticket. The jackpot was $154 million.
In Powerball, there are nine different ways to win – at least, according to the website. I came in the door calling out the numbers for Rob. He glanced up from whatever he was doing and said, “What’s the Powerball number?”
“Twenty-three.” I immediately thought of the posts we’d done on that number and recalled that Hexagram 23 in the I Ching is called Splitting Apart.
Rob said, “Oh, good number. What do you win if you get just the Powerball number?”
“Uh, four bucks.” I wondered why he’d asked about just that number.
Around 11:30 Wednesday night, I checked the Powerball website. And yes, you guessed it. The only number on our ticket out of the six was the Powerball number – 23! So, even though we didn’t win $154 million or even a million for getting 5 numbers, I got back the two bucks I’d spent on the ticket plus another $2 and we experienced a straightforward precognition.
Doubling your money is good – do it for a month and you are a millionaire! Strange though about the ’23’ , and why Rob asked about the Powerball number .
a car was going over 55,555 miles… walked in picked 5-10-15-20-25 mega 5…played also 30-35-40-45-50 mega 5 also played 10-20-30-40-50 mega 5… all that, only hit one number!!!!!- “not” one of the better lotto stories… could of made this one up…..
Funny! But hey, at least you hit one number!
I’m going to try again for tomorrow’s powerball
yeah but Witch one……me I don’t bother… but then there be the real strangeness,,,, Can’t miss it….
That’s funny,I’m reading a book called “Powerhunch” by Marcia Emery

at the moment,which is all about developing your intuition.
In recent weeks I’ve also been playing Powerball in Australia and like you I’ve had success in guessing the powerball quite well,but not the rest of the numbers that I need to win a prize,but I’m having fun testing my intuition against the 20-1 odds of guessing the powerball that will be drawn from the barrel every Thursday night.
Here is an interesting clip of Marcia giving a talk about intuition –

Thanks for the link. Will check it out!
I tried Saturday’s drawing…didn’t even guess the Powerball number! I look at it this way: someone beats the odds, so why not you? Or me?
You’re right Trish and it’s fun to test and build your intuition skills and at the same time maybe win some money.
The main thing is to relax and not worry about winning the money,just treat it as a game.
As soon as I start stressing about winning something my intuition gets buried by my rational mind’s critic and I fail.
As long as I treat it as a game with no expectations of winning a prize I do remarkably well considering the 20-1 odds of picking the powerball in the Australian version.
