Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience, Deb. You also, Konane.I can't claim I've ever doubted that there's a strong metaphysical element to the numbers and their behavior, once I began looking closely at them. Judging from the number of anecdotes on the Mystic Forum I'm also inclined to lean to a view that people who are already into metaphysics and mystical matters seem to have a somewhat 'special' sensitivity to whatever drives those behaviors, making them a bit more predictable for...

One thing you might try is when picking numbers, write them down in groups of no more than 5 plays as if they were already printed out on tickets.Then using intuition (get totally right brain on this) try to see which of your plays you're drawn to most. That one may prove to have the most correct numbers in it ... or at least the nearer to being correct. Then see if you might be able to further refine another pick or two from that point.

Interesting ideas, Jack! In addition to using statistical analysis, so called predictive lotto programs, birthdays and other no-no numbers, I've tried using a pendulum to pick numbers both for Powerball and for the Oregon Megabucks ... similar to dowsing I guess. But that doesn't seem to work for me..... keeps giving me numbers that come up for some other state too far away for me to get to--- and I can't tell in advance which state it's going to be. <Grin> I've also used an alternative ran...

I ask that the winning numbers (for whatever game) come up and I drive watching for roadsigns which have the numbers on them.

Being a believer in psychic stuff I often wondered why I never heard of someone actually claiming to have divined the winning numbers. Seems to me most of the winners got it through a quick pick... maybe I'm wrong.I've tried myself many times to see the numbers, and though I've been close at times, no cigar.
