Nicki has been keeping a gratitude journal on a daily basis for many years now. Recently she has begun to use what she learned in Manifesting 123 every day as well.
She has seen positive results in a number of ways and she is very happy with the direction her life is taking. There is a feeling of being more in control of events, health and increased happiness.
Her recent successes emboldened here to try something new with her daily gratitude journaling and manifesting. So two weeks ago she wrote, “I am so grateful that I got a winning lottery ticket.”
A little background on Nicki’s lottery experiences. She hasn’t bought many lottery tickets in the past but when she did, it was only for the large Powerball drawings. In an average year, she would buy 8-12 individual lines per visit, not tickets of 5 lines at a time. She had only purchased about a dozen of the lesser prize Lotto tickets in about thirty years.
A couple of weeks after her lottery journal entry, Nicki was grocery shopping and she got the urge to buy a lottery ticket. Not the Powerball that she was accustomed to, but the smaller Lotto drawing. She bought a single line for $1.
A few days later, I was out on errands and I had the ‘hit’ to call her. Without hesitating, I dialed her up. I was a few sentences into a conversation when I heard her say, “Oh wow! Oh WOW!” I laughed and said that those were Steve Job’s last words. (An intriguing, true story: link)
She told me something unbelievable just happened. When I called out of the blue like that, she felt compelled to check her lotto ticket online while we were talking.
Nicki got 5 out of the 6 numbers on her Lotto ticket! We were both laughing and practically screaming at each other. 5 out of 6! What are the odds? Actually, they are 1 in 5,245,786 for all 6 numbers and 1 in 24,287 for 5 out of 6.
She won $500, just one number short of the 7 million that day, but there is more to what happened here.
Nicki set out an intention by writing it down, using a journal of gratitude and visualizing her future where she was a lottery winner. She got an exact result. Note that she didn’t specify the jackpot exactly, only that she won the lottery, and so she did. (Go for the jackpot next time!)
With gratitude and intention, Nicki created a result that very few people experience.
She learned to go for something beyond her usual experience.
She is worthy. Her win was a personal validation.
Trusting her instincts, she bought the smaller prize Lotto ticket, something she had done less than a dozen times, ever.
She learned that the impossible is well within her reach.
When Nicki redeemed her ticket, the counter clerk was a bit shocked and very excited. Together, Nicki and the clerk relived the joy of that moment and marveled at the rarity of it, a double treat.
It was a bolt out of the blue, as they say. Note that your odds of being struck by lightning this year are 1 in 960,000. In your lifetime those odds drop to about 1 in 12,000.
When I mentioned to someone about a manifesting story where a person had manifested $500, we agreed that it wasn’t that special. But when I told them Nicki won it with 5 out of 6 lottery numbers, my friend said it was incredible, an ecstatic event and just about impossible. 20 years ago I knew a friend of a friend that got 5 out of 6 numbers… that’s it, until now.
Manifesting the idea of a lottery win is just fine, but it is actually a very limiting idea. Allow for the equivalent of that jackpot and increase the potential outcomes dramatically.
In the end, what would you do with a big jackpot? Better health? Financial security? Freedom? Happiness? Manifest those ideas and imagine that they have already happened in your future. Make a point to think of your 7 grateful things every day.
Remember that your thoughts are literally taking form as you think it. Manifesting 123 gives you the How and the Skills to make anything possible.
Time to write your own ticket!
As the Lotto slip says, ‘Expect the Unexpected!”
