It is weird how certain numbers seem to play into your mind as though they were speaking to you.
For me it was license plates.
I used to drive a lot in rush hour traffic and often numbers on those plates used to sorta leap out at me, grabbing my attention.
At first I tried to puzzle out what significance they might have.
Most cars in MI have 3 letter, 3 number plates,
Then one day a number popped up, got my attention and right then there was an ad on the radio for a lottery jackpot with the expected jackpot starting with those same 3 numbers plus 6 more 0’s!
There was no way to translate those 3 numbers into the 6 needed to win so i bought a 3 straight 3 box ticket using it …and won almost $300!
Then it got crazy, I started “seeing” numbers everywhere but not with the same attention grabbing power that that winner had.
Lost all those winnings quick, then a couple hundred more, then stopped it cold turkey.
For years.
Al little while later another plate number really got my attention and I was quick enough to notice the difference and won again.
I’m still up a few grand from that but this lockdown has me off the road pretty much nowadays.
My early losses have taught me that whatever or whenever I “notice” a number, it isn’t by willing or wishing it.
It just happens.
And the trick is you have to be quick enough to notice.
