I am a lifelong atheist and non-believer in any type of psychic abilities or realities. I am a computer programmer by profession. KWHILBORN challenged me and I embarked on a program of time travel. Twice a week, I make my mind travel into the future and see the drawings of the California SuperLotto. My predictions, so far, are much better than random. They have shaken me up. I am starting to believe that if I can do this well from a totally cold start, after only nine time travel sessions, I should be able to hone this skill. If I can only triple my current rate of hits, I can make a living doing this.

Don't ask me how it works, why it works or if it should work. I have a hard time believing I am doing this at all. People have always challenged me that I don't have an open mind. Well, my mind is open, and numbers are coming in that make some sense.

There is also a timing element, not surprising with time-travel, I guess. Look at my prediction of the bonus number 15 on 6/19 and 6/23. Then they hit on 7/3 and 7/7. Also look how I have predicted 7 in the second column several times in recent weeks, and now they have hit twice. It's not sufficient to just look at one row of predictions and compare it to one row of drawings.

I have been working on getting the confusion of the temporal planes down to a minimum. Since there is an infinite number of drawings in the future, it's not clear to me I go to the right ones. So I miss the dates. Perhaps I should play every prediction for 10 drawings automatically. Another thought that comes to mind is find a larger set and wheel it. This, too, could mitigate the temporal confusion.

Believe me, this is cuckoo in my book, but being the engineer that I am, I will just continue to collect the data and see what happens.
