Sorry, I've got to butt in here.  It seems that you are one of those
rare people who have experienced unexplainable coincidences that seem so
improbable that they must be due to psi phenomenon.

Given a large enough population and enough time, it is very likely that
at least one person in that population will experience a random set of
events that are "unusual".  This person is very likely to believe that
it's due to psi or God's will, or fate, or karma, or whatever depending
upon their constitutional right to believe in whatever they darn well
choose.

You seem to be one of these people.  And I am sure that you cannot be
convinced otherwise.  I have NEVER experienced a "major" coincidence and
I cannot be convinced there IS psi.  However, if ever do experience a
psi event, then I'm sure that I'll reconsider.  :-)

Remember, someone HAS to win the lottery, no matter how improbable that
may seem to the rest of us losers.
