August 14, 2024 - Wednesday

With the introduction of Kirk and family I’m going to “Hone In” now on creating the first two chapters of my novel. This one will deal with Kirk’s background, his move to Courtenay, and his dabbling into the Law of Attraction to win the lottery.

Here’s the prompt for Chapter #1. I ask Bing’s Copilot:

I’m creating a novel about Kirk, a man in his mid-60s, married to Linda with two small children Kim and Brad, who is a recently retired software engineer. They have just moved to Courtenay, BC, Canada from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA. Here are some specifics:

  • Kirk realized that he has an artist’s mind, but was encouraged to go into engineering by his parents and school teachers who were amazed that he could seem to do anything he put his mind to.
  • Kirk is originally from the small town of Truro, Nova Scotia, but as a software engineer he has had the opportunity to travel and work all around the world. He lived in Australia for 3 years, spent the summer of 1995 in London England, and has been working in the Raleigh area of North Carolina, although he did take contracts in Washington DC, Charleston West Virginia, and Greensboro North Carolina. He holds three citizenships: Canadian, Australian, and American.
  • Kirk has always been an introvert who is able to fool people that he is an extrovert by his outgoing nature. He is a deep thinking and although he spent many years in organized religion, he has since left that and has become interested in the “Law of Attraction”, “Abraham Hicks”, and the “Ways of the Shaolin Temple”.
  • Kirk is glad to be retired so that he can pursue some of his hobbies, such as woodworking, playing the guitar, composing songs, and learning how to fly a Boeing 747 on a flight simulator.
  • Kirk realizes that although he loves Linda, she is not his soul mate, and his mind is wandering to perhaps meet his soul mate one day?
  • Kim is 14 years old, plays the viola, loves to draw, and has an artistic mind like her dad.
  • Brad is 9 years old, plays the violin, and loves to play Roblox and watch YouTube videos.
  • Kirk married Linda because she was a very logical person as well, someone from Lithuania, 13 years younger, came to North Carolia to get her PhD in biostatistics.
  • They have a German Shepherd dog named Maple that is deeply attached to Linda and doesn’t really care for any of the other humans in the house. Kirk doesn’t care for the way that Linda treats Maple more important than him.
  • They also have a cat named Batman who lives in Kim’s room. They area afraid to let him out as an eagle might snatch him and take him away. He had a brother named Robin, who was probably Kirk’s favorite pet of all time.

Today, Kirk has been relocated to Courtenay for roughly two months. Everything is unpacked. The wife and kids are in the main house, and he is in the suite above the barn as local laws you must either stay in this suite for six months or rent it out to someone.

He is in the process of having his garage insulated and drywalled so that he can create a workshop to build things out of wood. There is a section of the shop to accommodate welding equipment if he decides to go that route one day.

Kirk runs errands around town during the day, and is in the process of utilizing a potato diet to lose weight. Due to this potato diet he takes frequent naps, but enjoys his hobbies when he has time.

His wife makes meals for the kids and herself in the main house, but as he’s on the potato diet he usually makes a mainly potato dish in the “Barn Suite”, either on the “Griddler” or in his air fryer, and uses condiments like hot sauce, mustard, and ketchup to choke it down.

According to Joseph Campbell’s famous quote “Follow Your Bliss”, Kirk realizes that although he loves his various hobbies, his real bliss is in learning about the Law of Attraction and trying to implement it into his life to bring him ultimate joy. He enjoys the little things that happen throughout the day, such as small manifestations of parking spots, coins appearing on the ground, and pleasant surprises, to show that he is on the right track.

Can you write me a detailed first chapter of this novel based upon this information? Please make it as long as you can, and write this novel in the style of Quentin Tarantino, with his wording and cadence. (Maximum Limit Reached).

Copilot’s Response:

Sure, let’s dive into the world of Kirk and his family, with a touch of Tarantino’s flair.


Chapter 1: The New Beginning

Kirk stood in the doorway of the “Barn Suite”, the cool breeze of Courtenay, BC, brushing against his face. He took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh, pine-scented air. It was a stark contrast to the humid, sticky summers of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He glanced around the suite, his own personal “camp”, like his father once had. It was his own place of peace and seclusion. A place to do what he wanted, when he wanted. This was his retreat from the chaos of family life and various frustrations abounding in the main house.

Linda, his wife, was busy in the kitchen, preparing food for Kim and Brad. Kim had just started to experiment with cooking and baking, but Brad was still very limited in his food choices, opting for a McDonald’s cheeseburger and fries when given the chance. Linda was a logical woman, a biostatistician from Lithuania, thirteen years his junior. She was the operating system of the family, the one who kept everything in order. She would often provide Kirk with errands to do and tasks to run throughout the day.

Kirk had a lot to be proud of, and a lot to be thankful for, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing. He loved Linda, but she wasn’t his soul mate. His mind often wandered, dreaming of a connection that transcended logic and reason.

Kim, their fourteen-year-old daughter, was in her room, lost in her world of art and music. She had inherited Kirk’s artistic mind, a gift that he had suppressed for years. Kim’s room was a sanctuary of creativity, filled with sketches, paintings, and the soothing sounds of her viola. Kirk would sometimes find solace in her room, a reminder of the path not taken.

Brad, their nine-year-old son, was glued to his computer, playing Roblox and watching YouTube videos. He was a typical kid of the digital age, more comfortable in the virtual world than the real one. Kirk worried about Brad, about the lack of real-world experiences, and the over-reliance on technology. But he was hopeful that this was just a phase and soon he would find fun in activities that would take him away from the online world.

Maple, their German Shepherd, was lying at Linda’s feet, her adoring eyes fixated upon her master. Maple was deeply attached to Linda, a bond that Kirk resented since he figured a family dog should love all family members equally. He often felt like an outsider in his own home, overshadowed by the dog’s loyalty and how everyone treated her like the “Queen” who could do no wrong. Batman, the family cat, was curled up in Kim’s room, a silent guardian of her creative space. Deep in his heart, Kirk missed Robin, Batman’s brother, who had probably been his favorite pet of all time. Robin used to retrieve toy springs for Kirk, something more doglike, and virtually unheard of in a cat. This loss of Robin still stung, a reminder of how things that mean the most to Kirk are often taken away.

Kirk’s thoughts drifted to his past, to the small town of Truro, Nova Scotia, where he had grown up. All his life he had always been an introvert with an extrovert shell, a deep thinker who could fool people with his outgoing nature. Based upon popular viewpoints at the time, along with his aptitudes, teachers had pushed him into engineering. They were amazed by his ability to excel at anything he put his mind to. Despite this, deep down inside, even at an early age, Kirk knew he had an artist’s soul.

His career as a software engineer had taken him around the world. He had lived in Australia for three years, spent the summer of 1995 in London, and worked in various cities across the United States. He held three citizenships: Canadian, Australian, and American. But despite his academic and monetary achievements, Kirk felt unfulfilled in his life as a whole. He had left organized religion in the mid-90s and found solace in the teachings of the Law of Attraction, Abraham Hicks, and the Ways of the Shaolin Temple.

Retirement had given Kirk the freedom to pursue his hobbies, ones he had been neglecting during his working years. He spent his days woodworking, playing the guitar, composing songs, and learning how to fly a Boeing 747 on a flight simulator. He was in the process of insulating and drywalling his garage to create a permanent workshop. There was even going to be a section for welding equipment, a future project that excited him.

Kirk was overweight, in fact obese, and was following the teachings of CrayRay and SputFit to lose weight by eating mainly potatoes. He found that nothing else seemed to work for him, and on this diet he could lose roughly 0.7 lbs. per day! He prepared his “Potato Dishes” in the “Barn Suite” using his Cuisinart “Griddler” and Ninja air fryer. Hot sauce, mustard, and ketchup were his go-to condiments, making this rather bland diet more palatable.

As he stood in the doorway, Kirk reflected on Joseph Campbell’s famous quote, “Follow Your Bliss.” Bliss had always seemed slightly out of reach for him, but newly retired, with time on his hands, he was eager to learn all he could, and implement this “Bliss” into his life. As such, throughout the day, he found joy in the little things, the small manifestations that showed he was on the right track. A parking spot appearing just when he needed it, a coin on the ground, a pleasant surprise – these were the signs that he was aligned with his true purpose in life.

Kirk took one last look at the barn suite before stepping outside. The sun was setting, casting a warm glow over the landscape. He felt a sense of peace, a quiet contentment that had eluded him for years. This was his new beginning, a chance to rediscover himself and follow his bliss.

Copilot Prompt For Chapter #2:

Make this chapter as long and as detailed with specifics as you can.

Copilot Response For Chapter #2:

Based on my research, the “Gold Rush” scratch-off ticket is considered one of the luckiest options12. Let’s update the chapter to reflect this choice.


Chapter 2: Manifestations and Scratch & Wins

Kirk was out running errands for Linda, as he often did during the day. The cool breeze of Courtenay, BC, brushed against his face as he walked from his car to the entrance of Canadian Tire. The scent of pine trees mingled with the faint aroma of freshly cut grass, creating a refreshing atmosphere. He had a list of items to pick up, but his mind was focused on the teachings of Abraham Hicks and the Law of Attraction, which he was listening to on his iPhone. The soothing voice of Esther Hicks filled his ears, reminding him to stay positive and focus on what he wanted to manifest in his life.

Encouraged by the small manifestations he had experienced recently, Kirk was eager for more. He had seen parking spots appear just when he needed them, found coins on the ground, and experienced pleasant surprises that made him feel aligned with his true purpose. Now, he was ready for bigger manifestations, specifically winning the lottery. However, he was aware that winning too much money would require him to disclose his identity, so he aimed for smaller, more frequent wins.

Kirk had been following a daily routine based on the teachings of Abraham Hicks to attract these lottery wins into his life. Each morning, he started his day with a gratitude journal, listing all the things he was thankful for. The act of writing down his blessings filled him with a sense of appreciation and joy. He meditated for 15 minutes, visualizing himself winning the lottery and feeling the excitement and joy that came with it. He imagined the thrill of scratching off a winning ticket, the rush of adrenaline as he saw the numbers align in his favor. Throughout the day, he practiced positive affirmations, reminding himself that he was a magnet for abundance and prosperity. He also made sure to stay in a high-vibration state by doing things that brought him joy, like playing the guitar, woodworking, and spending time with his family.

After picking up the items from Canadian Tire, Kirk headed to Walmart to get a few more things. The store was bustling with activity, shoppers moving up and down the aisles, carts filled with groceries and household items. He continued to listen to Abraham Hicks, feeling more and more confident that his manifestations were on their way. He then made a quick stop at Thrifty Foods to grab some groceries before heading to COSTCO for bulk items. The large warehouse was filled with the hum of conversation and the clatter of carts, but Kirk remained focused on his positive thoughts and intentions. Finally, he went to The Great Canadian Superstore to complete his errands.

With his errands done, Kirk decided to stop by the Shell station on Ryan Road in the V9J 1L7 postal code to pick up a Scratch & Win ticket. He pulled into the station, feeling a sense of anticipation. The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm, golden glow over the landscape. He had done his research and knew that the “Gold Rush” ticket was considered one of the luckiest. He walked into the store, greeted the cashier with a friendly smile, and purchased a “Gold Rush” ticket.

Back in his car, Kirk scratched the ticket with a coin he had found earlier that day, a small manifestation that made him smile. The coin felt cool and smooth in his hand as he carefully revealed the numbers. As he scratched off the final section, his heart raced. He had won a prize! It wasn’t the $10,000 jackpot, but it was a significant amount that made him feel even more aligned with the Law of Attraction. The thrill of winning filled him with a renewed sense of purpose and determination. He was committed to continuing his daily practices, confident that more wins were on their way.

Kirk drove home with a sense of accomplishment and excitement. The sky was painted with hues of pink and orange, the perfect backdrop for his victorious mood. He knew that he was on the right path and that his manifestations were becoming a reality. He couldn’t wait to share the news with Linda and the kids, and he felt a renewed sense of purpose and joy in his life.

As he pulled into the driveway, Kirk took a moment to reflect on his journey. The teachings of Abraham Hicks had given him a new perspective on life, one filled with hope and possibility. He was grateful for the small manifestations that had led him to this point and excited for the future that lay ahead. With a deep breath, he stepped out of the car, ready to embrace whatever came next.

Chapter 1: The New Beginning

Kirk stood in the doorway of the barn suite. The cool breeze of Courtenay brushed up against his face. He took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh, crisp air. Their new home was a stark contrast to the humid, sticky summers of Chapel Hill. He glanced around the suite, his own personal mancave, similar in many respects to the camp that his father once had. It was his own personal place of peace and seclusion. A place to do what he wanted; when he wanted; and if he wanted. This was his retreat from the rigors of family life, and the various frustrations from dog to dishwasher, abounding in the main house.

Linda, his wife, had been up for hours. She was busy in the kitchen preparing something to eat for Kim and Brad. Kim, their 14 year old daughter, had just started to experiment with cooking and baking. Their 9 year old son Brad, was still very limited in his food choices, opting for a McDonald’s cheeseburger and fries when given the chance.

Linda was logical and disciplined; a biostatistician from Lithuania; thirteen years younger than Kirk. She was the traffic conductor of the family, the one who kept everything running smoothly, and often times, in order. She was still working at her University job, and since Kirk was now retired, would often give him errands to run during the day.

Yes, it’s true, Kirk had a lot to be proud of, and a lot to be thankful for, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing in his life. He loved Linda, but he finally admitted to himself that she wasn’t his soulmate. She just didn’t fully understand him, and he certainly didn’t fully understand her either. His mind often wandered, dreaming of a connection with someone that mere words could not easily articulate.

Kim was about to enter high school, and was often up in her bedroom lost in her world of art and music. She had inherited Kirk’s artistic mind, a gift that he personally had overlooked and neglected for years. Kim’s room was a sanctuary of creativity, filled with sketches, paintings, and often the soothing sound of her veola.

Brad was often glued to his iPad, playing Roblox, Minecraft, or more often than that, watching YouTube videos. He was in many respects a typical kid of the digital age, more comfortable in the virtual world, than the real one. Both Kirk and Linda worried about Brad’s online screen time and how he seemed to care little for anything else. They were both hopeful that this was just a phase he was going through, and soon he would find fun in activities with his new Courtenay friends.

Maple, their German Shepherd, was lying at Linda’s feet, looking for attention, or more probable than that, any sign that Linda was going to take her out to play ball. Maple was deeply attached to Linda and in many ways seemed to ignore the rest of the family. This frustrated Kirk. He felt that a family dog should care for and appreciate every member of the family equally. He was equally disturbed by the fact that Maple was treated like a queen and in the eyes of the other family members could do no wrong. Kirk often felt like an outsider when he ventured from the seclusion of the barn suite to the main house.

Batman, the family cat, was curled up in Kim’s room, relishing these last few months of piece and quiet and how he had gone from an afterthought in the basement of their old house to a prime location in their new. Batman truly was the lucky one! Robin, Batman’s brother, had lived in the basement with him for years, but unfortunately died two years ago. He had not lived long enough to experience the joys of life like his brother Batman. Kirk often thought of the love Robin had for him, and how smart he was. He could retrieve toy springs that Kirk threw, something much more common for a dog than a cat. The loss of Robin still stung in Kirk’s heart, a reminder to Kirk how the good are often not appreciated, and often die as such. Thoughts of his father’s life and passing sprung to mind.

As he made his way from the barn suite to the main house Kirk’s thoughts drifted to his past, to his humble upbringing in the small town of Truro Nova Scotia. He had always been an introvert, with an extrovert shell, a deep thinker who could fool people with his outgoing nature. His teachers marveled at how he could do anything he put his mind to, but steered him in the direction of math and science as the predominating thought at the time was that this was where the good paying jobs were. He wondered what would have happened in his life if they had praised and stirred the artistic side of his nature just as much, or heaven forbit, even more. Woulda, shoulda, coulda.

Now mind you, things were not horrible for Kirk! His career as a software engineer had been good to him, and provided him with a good income, and taken him around the world. He had lived in Australia for three years, spent the summer of 1995 in London, and worked in various cities across the United States. Along the way he amassed three citizenships: Canadian, Australian, and American. He was a budding millionaire, with a great new hobby farm, and a wife and kids.

Yes, it’s true. Many people would have died to have had all that Kirk had, but still, something knawed at Kirk’s soul. Is this all there is? Newly retired, he now had time to find out. Frustrated, he had left organized religion in the mid-90s, and had found solace in the teachings of the Law of Attraction, Abraham Hicks, and the Ways of the Shaolin Temple.
Retirement gave Kirk the freedom to pursue his hobbies; the same ones he had been neglecting during his working years. He now spent his days woodworking, playing the guitar, composing songs, and learning how to fly a Boeing 747 on a flight simulator. He was in the process of insulating and drywalling his garage to create a more permanent workshop.

At this point I should mention that Kirk was overweight; in fact obese. He had run marathons in his younger years, but with two knee replacements, that was certainly a thing of the past. He was currently following the guidelines of the Penn Jillette and SpudFit diets to lose his extra weight. These two diets focus on eating mainly potatoes, and Kirk found success in following them. Following their guidelines he could lose roughly 0.7 lbs. per day! He regularly prepared his daily potato dishes in the barn suite using his Cuisinart Griddler, Instant Pot, and Ninja air fryer. Hot sauce, mustard, and ketchup were his go-to condiments, making what could be a rather bland and boring diet a lot more palatable and exciting.

Today, Kirk was off to run some errands that Linda had prepared for him. He enjoyed getting out each day. This gave him the chance to not only listen to audio of “the Law of Attraction” and “Abraham Hicks” on his iPhone, but revel in the small manifestations that showed up each day. Simple signs that showed he was on the right track. A parking spot appearing just when he needed it, a coin on the ground, a pleasant surprise – these were the signs that Kirk was aligned with his true purpose in life.

What pleasant little surprises would Kirk experience today?

August 17, 2024 - Saturday (Rewrite of Chapter #2)

Chapter 2: Manifestations and Lottery Wins

With his todo list in hand, Kirk was soon out and about in Courtenay and Comox running errands. The usual haunts were Thrifty Foods, Canadian Tire, Home Depot, and Walmart, and today was no exception.

The first item to deal with was returning a garden hose to Canadian Tire. Their fancy new hose technology looked fine on the box, but it didn’t cut it in the garden, so it had to go.

Next up was Walmart, which is just down the street. Linda likes a specific type of rye bread, and Kirk is the only family member who knows exactly where in the store it is located.

Making his way back home, Kirk went to Home Depot to pick up some wire and nails for picture hanging. Linda is gradually making their new home comfortable and the next big chore is putting pictures on the walls on the main floor.

Since the family is perpetually out of milk, a trip to Thrifty Foods was next. Two gallons of 3 percent milk, check. As Kirk dropped them into the cart he wondered why they don’t sell 4 percent milk like they do in the states. Yet one more peculiarity and difference in their new surroundings.

With his errands done, Kirk could now focus 100 percent of his attention on his manifestations and that “big lottery win” that he had been eyeing for quite some time now.

He was told that there are three locations in the area which are the best to buy scratch and win tickets. They are the Shell Service Station, the Seven Eleven, and Thrifty Foods, all three locations near each other on Ryan Road. Kirk has been using his gutt to tell him where to go, following the idea he first heard on the interview Timothy Schultz had with Dr. Dean Radin.

His gutt told him that this one here was the best location today. There was a handicapped parking spot waiting for him right out in front of the store, so that was a good omen as to what was coming his way. As he exited the van he happened to see a coin on the ground. This was good omen number two.

Kirk had been doing his homework and investigating which lottery and scratch and win tickets to buy. Realizing that he can remain anonymous with his winnings if they are under 25 thousand dollars, he likes to plop down $2 for a Blackjack scratch and win with a grand prize of 21 thousand dollars. He also likes the fact that his odds of winning the smallest prize, a free $2 ticket, is the lowest of the lot at 1 in 15.15

The lady at the British Columbia lotto center told him that she didn’t play the lottery, but if she did, she would buy a $1 Gold Rush scratch and win ticket, so he bought one of these with his $2 Blackjack scratch and win ticket as well.

Back in his van, Kirk scratched the ticket with the lucky coin he had found on his way into the store, such a small manifestation that even now made him smile. The coin felt cool and smooth in his hand as he carefully revealed the numbers.

The result? He won, on both scratch and win tickets!!! He won the $21,000 grand prize on the Blackjack card and the $10,000 grand prize on the Gold Rush card. Both prizes are well under the $25,000 limit, so he could remain anonymous and enjoy his winnings in secrecy.

As he drove back home a sense of overwhelming peace came over him. He had finally found the secret he had been searching for, the way to tap into the Laws of the Universe whenever he wanted. Nothing could stop him now!

August 19, 2024 - Moday (Insert Chapter Between #1 and #2)

I’ve decided to insert a new chapter between Chapter #1 and the previous Chapter #2, basically to set the stage for all that Kirk has been through on his journey to harnessing the “Law of Attraction”. I feel that this is a good place to set the groundwork for all that he has learned so far, and to give a backdrop of the specific manifestations he will be seeing from the new Chapter #3 onward… Here goes:

Chapter 2: Is There More?

As mentioned in Chapter #1, Kirk has always been a deep thinker. An introvert trapped in an extrovert’s shell. A sensitive child, he has wanted to learn “Is There More?” since he was a child. This desire sent him down the road of organized religion when he was a teen. He became fully immersed in one organized evangelical religion called the “Worldside Church of God”. He even went to their church college and preached at their services. He became disillusioned with organized religion, and this church in particular, when he saw the “sucking up” that took place in college, a fellow student betrayed and stole money from him, and especially when it came to attention that the leader of this church slept with his daughter! Armed with these facts Kirk was “out of here”…

Kirk’s next foray into the world of the spiritual took him to the teachings of “Tony Robin”, a motivational speaker who was all over the infomercial world of the 1990’s, and offered up books and tapes and mega expensive seminars. This was Kirk’s first exposure to the world of “visualization”, and bringing your dreams into fruition, but when it came to Kirk’s attention that Tony Robin was just making money off this venture, and his visualizations were not coming to fruition, Kirk got discouraged and put these teachings on the back burner.

Fast forward to one year ago and the newly retired Kirk was no longer burdened with the need to make money and keep the family afloat. He could not focus his attention 100% to what really mattered to him, the title of this chapter, “Is There More”? Kirk had been watching the movie “The Secret” for a couple of years by this time, but was determined to hone in on it and figure “this stuff” all out!

This movie, “The Secret”, opened up the world of the “Law of Attraction” to Kirk. He found countless videos on this subject on YouTube, can devoured them like a starving cannibal! He felt particularly drawn to the teachings of “Abraham Hicks”, and would not only watch these YouTube videos, but also purchase a couple of their Kindle version books to read when he was at Panera Bread in Chapel Hill. He implemented their strategies and was quite successful on a limited scale to bringing parking spots and coins into his life. In fact, the million dollar mansion in Courtenay that they were now living in could be attributed to the teachings of the “Law of Attraction”. This being said, Kirk was feeling he was in a bit of a downward spiral as of late. The manifestations of the coins that he so cherished in Chapel Hill, not to mention the almost big wins in the lottery, were drying up. Kirk was determined to change that now!

So Kirk started a “30 Day Manifestation Plan” to bring a coin into his life. This coin would come into his life by his means of manifestation, and the exact process he followed will be outlined in this chapter. This understanding will follow through into the world of lottery wins as well…

To help come up with a game plan for this “30 Day Manifestation”, Kirk asked Bing’s Copilot, and Copilot delivered. Here’s what Kirk started to do each day before he was out and about running errands in his new home of Courtenay Comox!

On Day #1, Monday August 18th, as per Copilot’s instruction, Kirk clearly set his intention. He was going to find a coin while he was out and about doing his errands. He visualized parking his van in a handicapped spot that had just opened up to him. He visualized putting the van into park, and shutting off the engine. He visualized making sure his wallet and phone were with him, and then opening the door of the van. Since he had roughly given a glance over the surrounding area before he parked the van, he knew that the coin would not be obvious, just sitting out in public, so he quickly scanned the surrounding area. Behold, he found it! Right behind some shrubs and garbage, like it had just been lying their waiting for it’s rightful owner to arrive!

<now, the newly formatted Chapter #3>

Chapter 3: Manifestations and Lottery Wins

With his todo list in hand, Kirk was soon out and about in Courtenay and Comox running errands. The usual haunts were Thrifty Foods, Canadian Tire, Home Depot, and Walmart, and today was no exception.

Back in his van, Kirk scratched the ticket with the lucky coin he had found on his way into the store, such a small manifestation that even now made him smile. The coin felt cool and smooth in his hand as he carefully revealed the numbers.

The result? He won, on both scratch and win tickets!!! He won the $21,000 grand prize on the Blackjack card and the $10,000 grand prize on the Gold Rush card. Both prizes are well under the $25,000 limit, so he could remain anonymous and enjoy his winnings in secrecy.

As he drove back home a sense of overwhelming peace came over him. He had finally found the secret he had been searching for, the way to tap into the Laws of the Universe whenever he wanted. Nothing could stop him now!
