Dr. Osis said “I’m intrigued by lottery winners. There has been some research on this and it appears that precognition may play a role in many cases. The person is walking along the street, not thinking of lotteries at all, and then comes a sudden hunch: “I must go into this story and buy a lottery ticket. The ticket will win.” The person buys the ticket and it does win. This seems to be quite common occurrence.”
It is, and there are many strange stories to tell, says Max, and continues to tell a story about a 23-year old Robert Bronson, who felt sure he’d win a special Christmas lottery in Maryland some years ago. Robert bought some tickets, although he had a wife and child and barely enough income to make ends meet. His wife was angry when he came home with tickets, but – as he later told reporters – he felt curiously calm. One ticket bore repetitions of 7, which he considers his lucky number. He felt unaccountably certain this ticket would win. It began by winning him $500 and qualifying him to enter a final drawing, which was held in a Baltimore auditorium.
Just before the winner’s name was to be announced, Bronson stood up. It was as though he had heard his name spoken. People stared at him in silence. Then the name was spoken, and it was Bronson’s. The prize was $1 million.
