How to Win the Lottery Lotto Powerball Using the Law of Attraction

January 30, 2009 14 comments

Recently the Powerball hit $165 Million Dollars and I broke down and bought a ticket. I don’t know what makes us feel like the bigger the jackpot, the better the chance we have to win. It’s not true. Everyone has the same chance to win for every ticket they purchase. It doesn’t matter how large the Jackpot is.

I conducted a little experiment with this lotto ticket. I tried my hardest to use the law of attraction to make that $165 miilion mine, but I failed. After I learned of my loss, I took some time to brainstorm the reasons I was not able to make that money mine using the LOA. Here are some of the steps I took to use the LOA to make all those millions mine:

  1. I visualized myself going to get the money
  2. I wrote over and over again this sentence, “The Powerball ticket I bought today is the winning ticket.”
  3. I repeated my numbers as the winning numbers over and over in my head
  4. I even pictured myself giving a lot of it away.

Needless to say, I didn’t win. Now I could go on and say that the Law of Attraction is a bunch of boloney, but I started to think about all the reasons that I didn’t win by using the Law of Attraction.

  1. I knew the odds. Even though I truly wanted to believe that I was going to win the big one, I knew that my odds were more than 195 million to 1.
  2. I kept picturing all the other people who were buying powerball tickets. It’s hard to believe I will win when so many other people are planning (using the law of attraction) to win as well.
  3. My quick-pick numbers were not very well distributed. It is a known fact that the majority of people, who pick their own lotto numbers, pick them in a fairly distributed manner. When the balls drop, they tend to clump together. I just naturally felt like I had some bad numbers. This negativity made me feel like I would not win.
  4. I also had the belief, “Why would God allow me to have that much money? Have I really shown responsibility with what he has given me so far?” these are questions full of doubt that bring negativity to my thoughts.

So you see, I pretty much failed to think perfectly from the get go. I wasn’t thinking perfectly, using the Law of Attraction to its perfect perfection. Theoretically, If I use the law of attraction, I wouldn’t even need to buy a lotto ticket. The winning ticket would be brought to me.

Now the question is posed: How DO I win the lotto using the Law of Attraction?

  1. First off – I should not try to win the lotto. It is too hard to put my mind into the correct positive thinking when the knowledge of the odds and the unseen variables run rampant through my mind. I should focus on my current employment, new employment and/or the success of this weblog to bring me millions. It is more likely I will be able to believe in those things than being able to believe I will be able to win a Powerball jackpot.
  2. If I were to try using the Law of Attraction to win the lottery again, I would do several things differently.
    1. I would play for a lower prize. I would play for something I thought would be possible in my own mind; maybe just earning any cash prize, not just the jackpot. The odds of winning any prize in the Powerball are 1 in 35.
    2. In that way of thinking, If I buy 35 tickets I should be likely to win at least once. I can believe that. I can focus on that being true. I should not eve focus on what the winnings will be. I should only focus on winning. The total winnings will just be a surprise.

I guess after this whole ordeal, I figure it is better to use the Law of Attraction for other aspects of life. There are so many other ways that God can bring massive wealth into my life, I really don’t even need to win the lottery.

I am curious what you think about the whole subject. Write a comment. I would llove to hear from you.

How to Make Easy Money Using MyPoints.com

I have been a member of MyPoints for several years now. It was the only program that actually did pay me for reading my email. There was a rash of those paid-per-click websites a few years ago. All of them required you to get to certain amount of earned income before they paid you. They would expect you to either stop reading the emails after a while or they would find a reason not to pay you with a few of the loopholes that were written into the terms of the agreement. Needless to say, I wasted many hours clicking on these links in the emails they sent me, and never saw a red cent.

MyPoints.com actually pays me on a regular basis as long as I read the emails and click on the links. They only pay their members with gift cards for companies like Walmart, Target, Lowes, etc. I am able to get a $10 gift card to one of these stores about every 6 months by only reading the emails and clicking on the links. To date I have probably received a dozen of these payments and I could earn so much more when I do my shopping through the retailers on MyPoints.

I only use these retailers if I truly need something they offer. The biggest example is when I purchase something off eBay. They usually pay out 2 points per dollar you spend on ebay. Every now and then they will double that rate and pay out 4 points per dollar. If you buy a lot of stuff on eBay, this alone is a great way to earn a gift card here and there.

When I want to send flowers to my wife on our anniversary or to my mom on Mother’s Day, I will use the flower services that are available on MyPoints. They will usually earn me between 400 and 750 points for buying through them. When you consider that I only need 1,500 points to get a gift card, I will already be half way there just by buying flowers for my wife.

To make this as simple as possible, the best way to use MyPoints is to think about them whenever you need to buy something online. If you want to purchase it, MyPoints probably has a vender who will sell it.

The biggest vendor that I use on their website is Coupons.com. They give you 10 points for every coupon you print and use at the store. This is great. As a family we use coupons on a regular basis. We actually play the coupon/sale game by matching coupons with the sales that stores will give weekly. We usually cut a grocery bill from $200 to $115 just by watching the sales and matching the coupons with them. It is even better if you can find a grocery store who doubles coupons.

I think MyPoints is a great way to ear a little extra cash that will come in handy around Christmas time or when it’s time for summer vacation. It only takes a few minutes everyday to check the four or five emails they will send you. If you would like to join, just comment on this blog post and I will send you an invitation. Its worth the little bit of time and effort you give to the internet everyday anyway.
