How Lottery Winners Picked Their Winning Lotto Numbers: Part 2 | ABC News
chino hills' 7-eleven employee and
Farooqi can expect to see an uptick in
customers through those hip 4 burn
glasses folks have a tendency to flock
back to lucky stores like this where
winning tickets were sold but this
lottery winner says the secret to
winning isn't in the store it's in your
mind
meet Cynthia Stafford in 2007 she was a
single mom raising her deceased brothers
kids when she won the California Mega
Millions lottery
you thought you'd win well I knew I
would win Stafford says believing and
visualizing yourself winning is the key
part of the ask the universe philosophy
popularized by the secret and similar
books a few years back I'm an avid
reader read a book called the power of
your subconscious mind it isn't just
hocus-pocus - you know I'm not into
magic it's about your belief what you
believe in strongly will manifest and
does and Stafford says her belief was
specific
she says she visualized the exact amount
of money she would win 112 million
dollars what's the significance of a
hundred and twelve you saw that number
prior to winning I like the number 11
because I'm born in November so that's
pretty much it and then just chills to -
I try to consolidate the number to match
my birthday that's basically what I was
doing ah that birthday thing a crucial
factor for a numerologist Glynis McCants
what our lucky numbers they're numbers
that are connected to your birthday and
if you look at the people who win the
lottery so often they tell you you know
I played my birth embers I played my
mom's birth tempers that took me sound
an accident cuz numbers that are around
you are considered lucky I don't think
that your birthday has any effect on
your chances of winning the lottery
you can probably visualize the esteem
math professor Aaron Abrams holds for
the great science of numerology I'm open
to hearing any theory that has some
evidence behind it but usually people
with theories like this don't
any evidence find it but then there's
the case of Jay Vargas who is just 19
when he won 35 million dollars in the
South Carolina Powerball jackpot in 2008
he used some of those winnings to launch
an all-girls wrestling group called
resolution
there's no redheads in the ring though
you and I hear it no there's not a
chance I can compete in that ring Jay's
secret
he claims he just started hearing
numbers in his head it was a voice like
any other wasn't my own or anyone that I
recognized telling you numbers yeah the
whole day and did you tell anyone about
the numbers the cousin he was like man
you that's probably lottery numbers so
once I played the lottery once I put the
numbers in the voice stopped so how long
after you bought the ticket
did you find out your winner uh that
night you weren't surprised no cuz I
knew I was gonna win it can't be
surprised if you know you something's
gonna happen you know my advice to
everyone listening if you've got numbers
that are talking to you get to the store
and buy your ticket and visualize should
you have to believe it's possible for it
to happen
Cynthia believed it to her core Stafford
said she's donated more than a million
dollars to charities but she also
splurged how many thousands of dollars
of handbags are we looking at about two
hundred thousand two hundred thousand
dollars in handbags yeah she gave us a
tour of her house that she also
visualized owning and I remember when I
saw it I thought to myself this is gonna
be my house it's decorated in lottery
winner chic with pricey art how much was
this painting oh I don't want to get
into the prices of my painting but it
was not cheap and interesting
conversation pieces like this unusual
gold chair this represents ancient Egypt
and it represents
royalty royalty yes outside her two
Bentley's costing a mere four hundred
thousand dollars all these are my babies
because it's my convertible that's more
of my family car and you want to take a
ride it let's go for a spin
this car can go 200 miles an hour
life was good for both Stafford and
bargains but recently there have been
bumps in the road a brief marriage and
an expensive divorce for Jay the man
right 35 million dollars Wow Vargas
claims he has 50% of his winnings left
what did you do with your mind invested
it and says he's scheduled to start
shooting a wrestle Isha's reality show
in March you can't just you know Spurs
all at once I didn't want to be one of
those stories where you know you get
gained money in this wealth and then
lose it all but if Cynthia Stafford was
visualizing long-term financial
stability the universe hasn't delivered
sadly on January 6th
Stafford filed for bankruptcy this week
she told us she made some bad
investments and lost money in the stock
market
we told Glynis McCants about the latest
developments in Cynthia's life wow wow
wow wow does this ultimately mean what
does this that they're out like they're
broke hi sis well it might raise some
questions about any mystical approach to
the lottery but my cat says don't stop
believe it right there there's a winner
there's a winner so even though she won
the money she didn't it didn't fix her
life did it and as a hundred and twelve
million bucks and that's a message for
everyone playing if you think the money
is gonna fix your life it's not now it's
a whole new situation you have to do it
you
