Stories like this always give me chills. Those signs from a late father, leading to a $1M Lotto Million 1 win, remind us how personal connections drive so many plays. Interestingly, this guy's the same one who hit big last year using numbers tied to his late wife, showing lightning can strike twice with meaningful picks. Congrats to him, it makes you wonder what signs you're missing in your own routine.

And I forgot to mention that your wish for great melodies for John couldn't be much Higher.

May you make great melodies with the new guitar.

Music and in particular great melodies often transcends, appeals and connects across many lines - man-animals-plants.

Hahaha, I forgot to mention that the stores I mostly buy my tickets are 99.99% gas stations.

They almost always have a coffee station some where at the corner

I wasn't that shocked, but I was excited, John recalled of the moment he won. I could feel my father's presence with me when I walked into the store that felt like a sign.

Congratulations on the win.

May you make great melodies with the new guitar.

The only sign that I get when I go to the store to buy my ticket is always the smell of coffee

After lighting a candle and saying a prayer, I saw a flock of geese passing by, John remembered. My father was a bird hunter, so it felt symbolic like good fortune. Then I scratched the ticket and won.

The flock of geese he saw were real. It is an event that occurred in another nearby Dimension were John concurrently exists. The prayers he had said were irrelevant, impertinent to the trigger of the win. The intensity on the part of John to win and destiny, are at least among the contributin... [ More ]
