In the book 11:11 The Time Prompt Phenomenon they took an example of 9/11 and after the fact how different things related to that event added up in one way or another to those numbers. The book also gives a few other examples but again after the fact.

I'm not saying that if you do play those numbers, it's impossible for you to win. I'm saying it can go either way and that the numbers are after the fact. You might have had those numbers in mind, and you might have thought of playing them, but if you played them, they might not necessarily had been drawn.

This is where it's not so apparent. It not just what you do that counts, it's what you don't do. And when you're not doing one thing, you're doing something else. So you're changing everything else that happens.

Sure, those pieces of the puzzle are close to each other, not 500 miles away.

But I see now. You're talking about Quantum physics, and how distance doesn't matter. They have already proven that they can influence an electron particle many many miles away. They reversed an electron's rotation, and the other electron which was somehow related to the first one changed it's rotation to the same direction. Now that's weird stuff.

I'm with joker on this one!

Although I agree that what we do has a ripple effect.... I don't think if I bought tickets it would change the outcome of the numbers......hmm unless a higher power didn't want me to win.

To all the people who say if only .....if doesn't count! It really doesn't matter because you didn't

What does it change, specifically? I mean, outside of you driving to the local corner store, grocery store, etc. and giving the clerk your tickets /money, what happens??? They take your money after your selections/QP's have been played, give you your tickets, and tell you good luck. You're now in the running, along with everyone else in the world who played, to win on the game you played.

The people in the store are from various walks of the day i.e just got off work, going to work maybe, pas... [ More ]

IMO I don't think our daily actions affects something that is as random as lottery drawings.

It certainly does affect people that are 500 miles away. It affects people across the world. I don't believe I'm drawing the picture very clear to you. Remember, it spreads out. Put a puzzle together. Put it on a slick surface. Now put your finger on just one of those pieces. Now move that one piece. All the other pieces of the puzzle will move with that piece that you're moving. It's all tied together. Me and you are tied together right at this very moment.

The future outcome is determined by my present behaviour; meaning, every action that I do is so sensitive that it changes the end result or outcome; Affecting the Universe?hmmmm!

Yes, iF The Butterfly effect does not apply: Future behaviour outcome. Sensitive dependance on initial conditions! If this is what you are saying Guru; it's kind of close to The butterfly effect maybe we will need joker to clarify! Interesting none the less

I live in Southwest florida, which is located about a 5 hour drive to Tallahassee, where they draw the numbers. The people around me at the store or near where I'm driving to the store won't affect the lottery officials 500 miles away.

Now, If i personally knew who the person who actually hits the release buttons for the ping pong balls, and I interrupted him or her a few minutes before the drawing, that might affect the draw results because he or she may turn the machine on a few minutes lat... [ More ]

this reminds me of the different colors each individual like...if orange is your favorite color if you walk in a room or outside the first thing your eyes are going to set eyes on is whatever has the color orange, then your second favorite color then third and if is not the case you will set eyes on everything else but you will remember more that which had your favorite color and so you will go about the world remember more things that have the color that you like...Someone who likes the color g...

That's exactly what I'm saying. And yes, it does create a shockwave because you're changing everything that's around you. It's just not something that is immediately apparent. Think about the people that are around you in the store. Think about the people you would have been driving in front of and the people behind you. The turns you took. The way people were reacting to the way you behave. It spreads out. And what they do spreads out. It all changes everything.

You would be correct if the person at the gas station was playing QPs, and you think the lottery officials are conspiring to make sure a set of numbers won't show.....lol but I think he/she was talking about actual numbers the player was using, their own numbers. I don't believe the actual involvement of a person playing distorts the universe. At least in this case.

But I do believe in the butterfly effect in general, just not in this case.

You're talking about the butterfly effect.

But buying a ticket at a store doesn't create any shock waves. It happened to me last saturday. I had my 12 sets of pick-3 numbers to play in my back pocket, but never palyed them that night. Had I gone to the store and played them, I would have won 40 bucks, spending 6 bucks for a 34 dollar profit. Are you telling me that If I did decide to go to the store, the number had the possibilty of not hitting because of my involvement in the great scheme of... [ More ]

VERY, VERY INTERESTING...thanks...i was reading your post and i thought, how about the second per minute that the machine feeds the numbers into the computer in the gas station...like if you wasnt first in line then the second person would had been and it will had cause a different reaction...Dont know if the lottery plays based on what it has been fed meaning it is able to track every entry submitted and plays accordingly...

Not trying to brag but i have a system that overcomes that (no it d... [ More ]

Something to think about: You would not have necessarily won.

Guru101 — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 22:19:06 GMT

Just something I've kinda been thinking about. Every so often I hear someone say they forgot to play their numbers or something to that degree, and that they would have won $xxx or whatever, and after they find out they seem to be quite upset. It happened once to a buddy of mine that didn't play his Pick 4 numbers straight. He assumed that had he played, he would have won $5,000. Unfortunately, these people are looking at the results after the fact that they didn't play, not considering what the... [ More ]
