Alonzo Coleman who resides in Henrico Virginia claims that he played numbers that came to him by a dream to play the Virginia Lottery "Bank A Million" Game by matching six numbers on the game even though he did not match the Bonus Ball. The winning lottery numbers were drawn on Wednesday June 29. Since Alonzo split his $2 wager four ways, one of the four sets of numbers that he played rewarded him with the prize of $250,000 dollars after taxes which is unusual in the state lottery system in Virginia compared to other states where the taxes are collected from the gross amount of money from the lottery prize. Alonzo purchased his winning lottery ticket at a Glenside Corner Mart in Henrico. Since he is retired from his work, I am sure he will be using his lottery winnings carefully since the odds of winning a huge prize are very hard to come by.

Wow, I wish I'd have a dream like that ..... and then have the sense to play the lottery, something I haven't done in decades.

Even if a had a dream to play lottery numbers, I could not buy a lottery ticket even i wanted to since there no stores close to my home.

That's great that he was able to win using numbers that came to him in a dream. Perhaps I'll go and have a nap and see if any numbers come to me.

Must have been his Guardian Angel telling him the numbers, It is interesting I have been trying hard to win some big bucks from a writing challenge and just recently had a dream I finally won a challenge not the top prize but still let's see what happens

Coincidence, luck, or somebody upstairs, looking after him? Probably just luck, as I couldn't imagine even God being able to know in advance lotto numbers. Chance happenings are just chance happenings, or are they?

@Deepizzaguy Yes, and Einstein once said too, that God does not play dice with the world. Perhaps, God leaves the luck, and its outcome, up to us, and stays out of these dice rolls altogether.

It is luck since I remember a sitcom in Spanish where the lead character said "God does not play the lottery."

@innertalks I avoid playing lottery and casinos since it is hard to make money and easy to throw it away.
