DO PSYCHICS EVER WIN THE LOTTERY?

A British woman named Ocean Kinge set up a lottery syndicate in August 2010 because she predicted a big lottery win using her psychic powers. According to her, she sensed “energies” telling her to play and win the lottery.

“Out of the blue one day I just said 'let's start a lottery syndicate because I've just got a really strong feeling we are going to win a big win at the end of the year',” She reported. “'I said it was going to be a million pounds - don't ask me how I just knew.” If this ‘energy’ was so strong, why didn’t Kinge buy the lottery tickets on her own? "I don't know. I just had a feeling it had to be in a syndicate," she said.
