Will it happen to you? Tonight's mega Mega Millions lottery has a pot of $330 million, and a Bronx spiritualist has predicted a woman from New York will win! The prediction comes from Chris Ochun, who also noted that the woman (probably a Gemini) will have to split the money with "someone from out of state." According to the NY Post, he used snail shells to find out that some lucky numbers are "5, 6, 52, 55, 44 and 27"—though those aren't necessarily the winning numbers. We are not snail shell experts, but maybe this means ladies should pick up their tickets at a bodega on one of these streets?
Meanwhile, Manhattan numerologist/astrologer Ostaro believes the big winner will be "a recluse, someone whose personality is very unusual." Susan Miller at Astrology Zone told the paper, "Somebody will win because we have a partial eclipse of the sun in Capricorn, which rules big money." She also believes that a Gemini "has an edge," but also said a Sagittarius may win.
If you aren't a reclusive Gemini, that doesn't mean you won't get the golden ticket—one Mega Million hopeful simply believes "you have to be positive" to win.
