Good question! I could be the richest man in World History, if only I had the power to forsee the future a mere 24 hours in advance. Only that, and nothing more. The reason Psychics don't win Powerball and end up filthy rich from playing the horses at the race track, is the Psychics are complete phonies, especially the ones that charge morons a fee for their prognostications, astrology charts, palm readings, or seances, and advertise like "Madame Zelda, True Psychic, Incredible Power to See the Future, Palms Read, Charts Cast, Solves All Problems, Brings Back Loved Ones, Eliminates the Evil-Eye." It's a scam and a con-game, but unfortunately, a "LEGAL" con-game. The government decided it was too difficult to regulate "psychics" and unless they really go overboard and say something like "Your husband has it in for you, take this knife and kill him!" they are unassailable. And watch out for the "humble" types who claim 95% accuracy instead of 100%. Sounds more genuine if they admit some tiny margin of error!
But ALL of them would love, if they could, to win Powerball by clairvoyantly seeing the winning numbers in advance. That way they could sell the practice and retire to Miami Beach and spend the rest of their lives sipping Pina Coladas on their Yacht instead of reading palms or predicting how lucky in love a 400lb pimply faced teenager is going to be!
I can do that one! Not very!

I have always said the same thing when people tell me about a psychic reading they've had or something. Why don't psychics go to the casino and strike it rich. I mean if you're a psychic you can see the future and if you can see the future you would know what the next number is at the roulette table right? There is no such thing as a true psychic it is just a scam to make money off of fools who want to believe.

Fred V forgot to mention that Madame Zelda can also cure bad breath and heal the heartbreak of psoriasis.
Aside from that, he's completely accurate.

Because psychics know the future, not the fate or the random luck of the draw... So ya anyways, Happy Thanksgiving! (:

It doesn't work that way. A true psychic can't use their gift except to benefit others. Edgar Casey, a great healer, became quite ill when gamblers tried to get him to tell them the outcomes of horse races.

Gee perhaps they aren't psychic...
Also... perhaps no one may be able to predict the future!

They are not stupid enough to play the lottery. They don't believe in their power that much.
