How I Could Have Won $26 Million in the Lottery!

Here is an interesting story about how I could have won $26 million in the lottery, had I used the numbers that I was currently thinking about in the preceding few days.

But first, a little background.

Back in 2021, God inspired a ttrip to Israel that I was supposed to be on from June 3 to August 12, 2026 respectively - a total of 70 days.

Having been homeless for the last three years since July 12, 2023, and no income, there was no way I could go on this trip, and it just remained a hypothetical exercise that in some ways foreshadowed the war in Iran, along with two other trips that God inspired. More on that when my book is published!

On June 28, 2026, exactly 10 years to the day since I last left Israel on my previous trip, I felt I should choose some new dates to visit it. I was led to July 21 - August 4, 2026, just over three weeks away. Given I had no money and no income, there was no way I could go on this trip, unless God did something spectacular to change my circumstances in record time!

As the three-year anniversary of me becoming homeless on July 12, 2026 approached, I started thinking about ways that God could potentially fund this trip. One of those was winning the lottery! I had also been thinking about dates that God could use to tell a story using the existing trip that I was due to be on, from June 3 to August 12.

And so, I developed a scenario in my head that God could use to both fund this trip and get me out of homelessness at the same time!

And these are the numbers that I came up with:

#10: On July 10, two days before the three-year anniversary of becoming homeless approached, I thought God may get me to buy a Lotto ticket on what was the 55th wedding anniversary of my parents. It also marked 37 days since the current trip was supposed to begin. (More on that below). The next Lotto draw was due to fall the following day on July 11, which is the one I was thinking of, because the next day marked the three-year anniversary of becoming homeless. Thus, the number 10 seemed significant.

#21: The day my new trip to Israel was due to begin was July 21, which is why this number was also significant.

#22: I was due to arrive in Israel the following day on July 22, which is why this number was also significant.

#26: The day the Lotto draw was due to take place on July 11, fell on the 26th of Tammuz in the Hebrew calendar. The number 26 is significant, because it is the Hebrew Gematria of the name for God: YHWH, which is why I felt this number was important also.

#37: July 10 marked exactly 37 days since my existing trip to Israel was due to begin on June 3. 37 days is equivalent to exactly 888 hours, which is a number associated with Jesus Christ, and so I had been wondering whether something significant would happen on this day in relation to my existing trip. It didn't appear to.

#40: July 13 would mark exactly 40 days since my existing trip was due to begin on June 3, and so I was also wondering whether something would happen on this day. It didn't appear to. The number 40 is highly significant in the Bible, which is why I had been thinking of this number.

And so, all these numbers had been running through my head in the couple of days leading up to the Lotto draw on July 11, one day before the three-year anniversary of me becoming homeless.

Had I thought to combine these numbers into a lottery ticket, July 11 would have been a very different day for me!

On that day, Lotto draw #2602, all the numbers that I had been thinking of in the previous few days came up! (10, 21, 22, 26, 37, 40). Had I put all those numbers on one line, I would have won NZ$1 million! No one won first division on that day. Had I somehow managed to add the Powerball number to that line (#6 - 1 of 10), I would have won an additional $25 million, bringing the total to $26 million! No one won the top Powerball prize on that day, either. Thus, the entire amount was there for the taking. As it happened, the top prize rolled over to $30 million for the July 18 draw.

And so, my journey continues!

I guess it pays to pay attention to the numbers given to you, as they may be more important than you realise!

Hamas, the Third Jewish Temple, October 7 & the Red Heifer

On April 9 at 8:14 p.m., three days after God inspired my visit to the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, He brought Auschwitz to mind for a 57th time, and I was led to August 28, 2024 as the date to visit it. That meant I would leave Israel that day, and visit Auschwitz that same day in Poland, leaving Israel on my 18th day. This visit to Auschwitz was inspired 2 hours and 9 minutes after sunset at 6:05 p.m., or at the start of the 3rd hour of the Jewish night. This was now the third visit to Auschwitz that God had inspired for this trip, being inspired exactly one Hebrew month since the first (2 Adar II – 2 Nisan, 5784). Interestingly, the first visit was inspired on March 12 at 1:29 p.m., and this visit was inspired on April 9, 129 minutes after sunset, echoing the time of the original visit, 28 days earlier! So, quite an unusual coincidence there, although I assume that was intentional on God’s behalf, to prove that He was behind it. It was inspired exactly four months to the d...

The 3rd Gaza Ceasefire, Noah's Ark & Hoshana Rabbah

On September 29, 2025, at Benjamin Netanyahu’s fourth visit to the White House since President Trump retook office, a Gaza ceasefire plan to end the war was revealed, which Israel accepted. It had the backing of many Muslim and Arab countries in the region and beyond. It was revealed on the 7th day of the 7th month of Tishrei in the Hebrew calendar. Four days later on October 3, Hamas submitted its response to President Trump’s peace plan, indicating they were ready to release all hostages and end the war, in accordance with parts of the plan. On October 8 (October 9, Israeli time), President Trump announced that a deal had been reached between Israel and Hamas for the first phase of his Gaza ceasefire plan. This would see all remaining 48 hostages released (both living and dead), and see Israel withdraw to an agreed upon line. It was envisaged that the deal would ultimately lead to the end of the war. The deal was announced seven months and seven days since the first phase of the seco...

The Most Holy Name of Jesus (Yeshua)

On November 17, someone who I had met earlier at a food distribution organisation, offered to let me set up my tent at their property while they were away for a couple of months on holiday. Exactly one month later on December 17, after spending precisely 17 weeks living in my tent at the beach, I set up my tent in their backyard and carport for about six weeks over the 2025/26 Christmas–New Year period. Oddly enough, it wasn’t until January 3, 2026, after spending precisely 17 days in my tent at the new property, that God prompted me to add this update to the book. Furthermore, the weekly Torah portion for that day (Saturday), was Parashat Vayechi, beginning with the verse: “And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years…” (Genesis 47:28). None of this appears to be coincidental, but a very pointed effort to lead me in a certain direction! The number 17 has particular biblical significance with regards to Noah’s Flood, being the day on which it began (17th day of the 2nd month), ...
