I just had to share this because it’s a perfect demonstration of the power of visualization!
I mentioned recently that I’m in the process of attracting some pretty big things into my life (bigger than I’ve attempted before, anyway), and one of those things is a large sum of money to be used for specific purposes.
One of the things I’ve been doing religiously for the past couple of weeks is visualizing money coming to me in fun, unexpected ways - like a lottery win, among other things.
There are a lot of opposing viewpoints on whether it’s possible to use the Law of Attraction to win the lottery. Some people say you can’t do it because that would be restricting the universe on “how” abundance will come into your life. Other people believe that you can manifest a lottery win as easily as anything else. My own viewpoint falls in between those two, but I’ll go into that in a moment.
First, back to my story. The most I’ve ever won in the lottery was $100, about 18 years ago. My grandmother bought me an instant scratch ticket for my birthday, and it was a $100 winner. Since that time, I’ve won only small amounts here and there, anywhere from $1.00 to $15.00 at a time. (In fact, I laugh about that because somewhere along the way I developed a belief that “I never win much on lottery tickets…” — it’s not too surprising that I rarely won more than a few bucks at a time then!
)
WELL, ever since I set this new intention to attract a larger sum into my life a couple weeks ago, I’ve been visualizing myself winning a large sum of money in the lottery. Sometimes I visualize winning a big jackpot in the twice weekly drawings, and sometimes I see myself winning on a scratch ticket. I don’t focus on the dollar amount specifically, I just see myself whooping and hollering with excitement as I win, and get myself into that feeling place of excitement and joy. (It’s a ton of fun, try it!
)
Yesterday when I stopped at the store, I felt drawn to a specific scratch ticket that was hanging on the rack behind the clerk. It cost $10, but I remembered that I had a $5.00 winner in my purse from the last time I bought tickets. So I decided “what the heck,” and I turned in my $5 ticket plus another $5 and bought the ticket that was calling my name. YES, it was a winner! I started scratching it when I got home, and was thrilled to see I had won $50.00!
But I wasn’t done scratching yet. I kept going and revealed another spot that was a $50.00 winner. Then another. Then ANOTHER!
Yes, this ticket was a $200.00 winner! That’s less than the full amount I’m in the process of attracting - but I was overjoyed because this ticket was confirmation that my visualizations are WORKING. I swear, it felt like the universe was sending me a Happy Gram to keep me focused until the full amount manifests - and I know it will!
So if you have ever doubted that it’s possible to attract a lottery win, take this as direct confirmation that it IS POSSIBLE.
However, I want to point out a couple of important things here:
1) First, I’m not ONLY visualizing money coming to me through the lottery. I’m not “stuck” on the lottery alone, and I think that’s very important.
Sometimes we get it into our heads that there is only one way to accomplish something, when the universe actually has limitless resources to draw on. So, even though I won this smaller amount, it doesn’t mean that the bigger sum will come through the lottery too. It could, but it might also come in other ways. In fact, it might come in smaller increments the whole way!
Anything is possible.
So, if you want to visualize winning the lottery, it’s okay to do that - but also visualize other possibilities, and be OPEN to other possibilities, even if you can’t imagine what they might be. In addition to lottery wins, I’ve been visualizing my business income increasing, unexpected gifts and opportunities coming my way, and more. But I don’t get STUCK on any one way. Do the same thing and you’ll be open to many, many possibilities!
2) Also, I think it’s VERY IMPORTANT to enter into the visualizations with the right intent. In this recent post, I shared a little bit about what Abraham says about the power of pure thought vs. physical action.
If you watched the video, you may also remember them saying: “Sometimes our friends will say, ‘Well here I stand, while this is where I would rather stand . . . oh, and Abraham has given us a process so that we can get from here to over here. I’m going to offer this visualization to get from here to over here.’ And what happens is, as you are offering any process to get from here to here, what happens is, you’re vibrating in both places. So you can’t move from where you are; nothing changes for you. So you can make much faster progress if you say, ‘I’m offering this visualization not to get from here to over here, but I’m offering this visualization for the pleasure of the visualization…’”
If you missed that, go back and watch the video again - it’s a powerful insight! I know in the past I’ve caught myself trying to . . . how do I say it - PUSH things to happen by infusing my visualizations with a lot of energy and intention. But when you do that from a standpoint of trying to DRAW something to you, you’re also reaffirming that you don’t yet have it!
In fact, remember what Dr. Joe Vitale said in the Secret movie? When you do visualization right, it’s such a HOLOGRAPHIC experience that you feel like you don’t even need what you’re trying to attract, because you feel like you ALREADY HAVE IT.
That’s the type of focus your visualizations need to have if they don’t already!
That’s what I’ve been doing - just creating really fun, uplifting “mind movies” of myself winning money in the lottery, among other things. And it’s working. I’m seeing lots of evidence that I’m shifting into an ever-higher state of abundance and wealth attraction, and it’s totally effortless.
—> Shameless plug - this is exactly what my Visualize Prosperity Ebook teaches too - how to use FUN, LIGHTHEARTED visualizations to attract more prosperity into your life. It works!
So YES, let this experience stand as a testimony that it IS possible to win the lottery by using the Law of Attraction. Of course, that will depend on whether YOU think it’s possible for yourself too.
P.S. I’ll let you know when I hit the big jackpot!
Good luck!

Excellent post, shameless plug and all! I actually watched that particular Abraham video yesterday and from it was inspired to write this article on visualization: http://the-secret-law-of-attraction.com/?p=59
I am now heading over to that other article you wrote which you mentioned. Good reading, thank you.
