&   didn't check their PO box for 3 weeks.  She was so confident that
&   her husband quit his job, told everyone goodbye, she called the
&   newspaper which did a story on how she was sure she had won.
&   
&   The outcome?  She won!  I'd like to see an explanation of THAT
&   based on hypnosis or the power of positive thinking!

One thing to keep in mind with these things, is 
that although there might be a cause and effect, 
they might be the reverse of what one might think.
Someone might claim that her positive thinking "psionically affected"
the outcome, but what if she were just a fortuneteller, 
(maybe subconciously, anyway) and was positive because she "had"
won?
