And thank you for the good news that is coming to me today!
Today’s “Act of Kindness”: I was very supportive of the teen who was checking me out at the Food Lion on the way to Pittsboro and talked to him about getting a ROTH IRA. He knew about it, and he even mentioned how this is better than the 401k as it is tax free! Good on him!
Today’s “Main Blessing”: Solidifying my ideas on how to win at the lottery still be anonymous!
This afternoon I watched this YouTube video where Oprah interviews Abraham Hicks:
In this interview they talk about how it all started, when Jerry Hicks found “The Seth Books” by Jane Roberts in the library. I’m going to have to put this on my reading list as well.
After picking my wife up at the airport, I felt like getting out to get a Panera Bread coffee via the “Sip Club” and to see if I could find any coins. I did get a coffee, but no coins. I even went as far as Fearrington Village (you can see their bookstore in the photo to the right), but no coins! In the photo you can see the rain on the parking lot…very wet and messy day today was!
As I was driving about, I started to think more about how I could manifest the $143 million dollars that I dreamed about weeks ago. I wouldn’t want to win this amount of money to become a hinderance on me, but in North Carolina, if you win over $600 you can’t remain anonymous… So, what to do?
As it turns out, the “Pick 3” lottery has the best odds (i.e.: 1 in 1000) and a max payout of $500, which means you don’t need to disclose who you are! You can see the particulars in the photo to the left. In addition, since the payout is low, you can just go to the retailer to get your $500…no need to go to the lottery office in Raleigh. So, say if I purchased one of these tickets each day, and won every time! In this case, I would win $499 (since the ticket costs $1), and with a maximum of 31 days per month, this means that I would earn $15,469 each month. A nice payout, but I’m not totally sure if taxes will be deducted from this amount, or it is tax free? I guess once I win my first $500, and claim the prize, I will know for sure… 🙂
A surefire way to win the $143 million, and remain anonymous, is to get a South Carolina Powerball or Mega Millions ticket. As you can see from the North Carolina versions of these tickets that I have purchased in the past, it does tell you what state this ticket was purchased in (see photo to the right). So, it would seem the best route would be to visualize finding a South Carolina Powerball or Mega Millions ticket on the ground somewhere, as you can remain anonymous in South Carolina. If nobody signed it, and there is no indication of who owns it, it would be mine, right? The same as if finding a dollar bill or any amount of money on the ground for that matter. So, I’m seriously thinking of creating a visualization routine for this lottery ticket.
In reading a bit further, it’s not as simple as just cashing in a winning ticket. The best option is to tell the lottery office that you found the ticket. If they cannot find the person who purchased it, you would be able to keep the money. I see that in South Carolina, you have up to 6 months to claim the money.
