If I may?

Sachiel's post was quite profound, the lesson is lost along the way if you access something like lottery numbers. Universal law is broken if you access something for personal gain.

Now, on to The Butterfly Effect. I've seen the movie at least 5 or 6 times. Each time I see it I get something more from it. The movie is about cause and effect. Things that you do, or don't do in your life create effects of future events. What the movie does is show different scenario's if he'd have done something different and each time he does, there is a different outcome. He tries to right a wrong but each time he thinks he's done it there is a different karmic payout.

There is also another version with a different ending, and parts edited, perhaps that is all part of the movie style, with the cause and effect being in place. The changes made had a different outcome, all the way around. As did the movie.. sort of a nth degree of the essense of the idea.

It's sort of a quantum physics style movie that attempts to explain the ripple effect. Or, in this case "the Butterfly Effect". Which is an ancient proverb that loosely states: when a butterfly flaps it's wings, the wind is felt around the world. Same with the ripple effect, if you drop a stone in the water, the ripples will travel forever.

So.... (I'm babbling here, sorry) getting back to the original topic... if you were to change your destiny by accessing something that wouldn't have been yours in the first place, you could be taking something away from someone who was 'supposed' to receive the money. You would still be responsible for the karmic payout.

Anyway, my .02 turned into a quarter. Apologies..
