Imagine dreaming that you’ve won the lottery.

Not one of those fuzzy dreams involving a giant check, George Clooney, and a talking penguin.

A vivid dream.

You wake up with the overwhelming feeling that you are going to win.

For most of us, breakfast arrives, reality returns, and we get on with our day.

But what if, three months later, you actually won $28 million?

That’s exactly what Powerball winner Timothy Schultz says happened to him.

The Dream Before the $28 Million Win

In 1999, Schultz was 21, working at a gas station, studying part-time, and buying the occasional lottery ticket.

A few months before his win, he says he dreamed he’d already won the Powerball jackpot.

But this wasn’t an ordinary dream.

Schultz later described it as so vivid and realistic that he woke with a powerful certainty that winning would happen.

Three months later, it did.

Schultz won a $28 million Powerball jackpot.

Coincidence?

Perhaps.

But Schultz isn’t the only lottery winner with a strange dream story.

When the Winning Numbers Appear in a Dream

In 2022, Virginia retiree Alonzo Coleman said six lottery numbers came to him in a dream.

They weren’t exactly the sort of numbers most lottery players would choose:

13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18.

He played them.

When the Bank a Million draw took place, those six numbers appeared, with 19 as the Bonus Ball.

Coleman won $250,000.

Now things are getting interesting.

Have you ever dreamed that you won the lottery, seen lottery numbers in a dream, or had an unexplained feeling that a big win was coming? Tell us about it in the comments below.

What If the Dream Arrives 28 Years Early?

Then there’s Canadian lottery winner Olga Beno.

Beno said she dreamed a set of lottery numbers in May 1989.

She remembered them and continued playing them.

Twenty-eight years later, those numbers helped her win a C$5.3 million jackpot.

Imagine keeping faith with six numbers for nearly three decades, only to watch them finally come up.

So, Is This How To Win The Lottery?

Sadly, I can’t tell you to go to sleep tonight and expect six winning numbers to arrive before breakfast.

Millions of people dream about becoming wealthy, and most of us don’t wake up millionaires.

But that’s not really the fascinating part.

What intrigues me is that some people who eventually won extraordinarily unlikely lottery prizes say they had dreamed about them beforehand.

Some felt they were going to win.

Others say they actually saw numbers.

Did they somehow glimpse what was coming?

Was it intuition?

Manifestation?

An extraordinary coincidence?

Or can tomorrow, every once in a while, somehow whisper to us today?

I don’t know.

But if six numbers appear in my dreams tonight…

I’m writing them down.
