It didnt "make" them win, they had a much, much higher chance of losing. They just did not.
As for the bolded part, they most certainly had a chance to win as they bought a ticket. Its a small one, but as we all know, someone is eventually going to win.
The likelihood of said person having some hope of winning is inherent to the purchase of the ticket. This may give the illusion that their hope was able to physically manifest their dream, but it was the action that put it into play. The hope just inspired the action. I still have my doubts that they would win the lottery if they didnt take the action of buying a ticket.edit on 19-2-2013 by Serdgiam because: (no reason given)

So many assumptions!
To turn it around a bit, what is it that you think I am saying? What is it that you dont feel I am comprehending?
Thats the idea of a discussion board, to learn about and from each other (even if it takes a little bit of work)! That is an obstacle that we can overcome if we put our minds to it and then follow through with action.

No one can set off a causal chain so perfect that he can see the end. But you will find that out when you don't win the lottery.
Thoughts cannot manipulate the already perfect chain of events happening in the universe. They can only latch on and hope for the best.

there is no such thing as CANT, you are the only one responsible for setting a limit to your capabilities. it is very interesting to see how the programming instilled in you since childhood is feverishly trying to fight back with what you have been taught to be "logic"
i have this gift or curse or whatever you want to call it, i can tell you anything about a person by just looking at them, by just shaking their hand. i can even predict certain events into those peoples lives but the vision doesn't come in a "visual" way but in an emotional way.
just know that you are the captain of your ship, and by the looks of it you haven't decided to retract the anchor yet and set sail. such wasted potential

You base your theories and assumptions on conventional indoctrinated thinking methods, i see the world in a completely different point of view both literally and metaphorically. your judgement is clouded by years of being taught what is "normal" and what is not.
its hopeless, you sound like a good person but your unwillingness to break free from the conventional way of thinking will stop you from doing great things with your life.

because life is only a re-run albeit it a persisting one ...choice is only an illusion of the truth ...because in truth there is no choice......... DNA is the future Fortune's-teller crystal ball ... i have no proof of this of course
