Tarot reader, astrologer, and intuitive psychic Paige Ferris shares how to know if you might win the lottery

Have you ever wondered about what signs could point to your winning the lottery? You may have felt a kind of premonition or had a gut feeling about it. There have been many instances of future lottery winners claiming to have seen signs of their big windfall. To find out more, read on for a list of 15 signs you’re going to win the lottery, from dreams and synchronicities to encounters with animals or finding lucky objects, like a 4-leaf clover. We’ve also asked spiritual advisors, astrologers, and numerologists for help identifying these unforeseen signs.

Please note: The odds of winning a particular lottery are about 1 in 300 million on average. Winning the lottery is based on mathematical probability and random selection. It’s important to remember that seeing these or other signs doesn't guarantee you'll win the lottery.

Signs Before Winning the Lottery

Tarot reader, astrologer, and intuitive psychic Paige Ferris says your star chart can give you signs when you might have luck with the lottery, like if Jupiter or Venus are in the 5th house. Here are some other possible spiritual signs before winning the lottery that you might experience:

  • You have dreams or premonitions about winning.
  • You have strange animal encounters.
  • You find lucky objects, like a 4-leaf clover or a lucky penny.
  • You have an overwhelming urge to purchase a lotto ticket.

Your astrological chart indicates financial success.

  1. Ferris says, “From an astrology standpoint, luck is ruled by Jupiter and the lottery is ruled by the 5th house, so generally there’s luck with the lottery [or] gambling with the transit of Jupiter in the 5th. However, involvement with Venus is important too, since it rules your finances, so transits of Jupiter and Venus in the 5th can indicate [that you’ll win the lottery].”[1]

You notice the same recurring numbers.

  1. Does your bank account balance match your birthday all of a sudden? Maybe your house number is showing up repeatedly on the license plate of the car in front of you. Your odds of winning may not change, but noticing a repeating number pattern may help you know which numbers mean the most to you. For example, Wilder believes that "3 always means luck.”[3]
    • You may also see angel numbers associated with wealth and prosperity, like 8, 888, 111, 555, and 777. Spiritual advisor, astrologer, and numerologist Nico Pires views 777 as an opportunity to “create your own luck, which means taking agency and risk. It can prompt you to be empowered to do something. 888 is a more auspicious indicator of material gain.”[4]
    • Angel numbers are repetitive number sequences thought to carry spiritual messages or guidance from a higher angelic power and symbolize lucky numbers within numerology.[5]

You dream about winning.

  1. If you’ve had a similar dream scenario, consider what exactly happened in the dream—did you see the winning lotto numbers, or just feel euphoric about being a winner? Also, how did you feel when you woke up? Here are some examples of dream scenarios associated with winning the lotto:[6]
    • You actually win the lotto.
    • You hear or see specific lotto numbers to play.
    • You find (or lose) a winning lottery ticket.
    • You celebrate winning the lottery with friends and loved ones.
    • If you did see (and recall) any actual numbers in the dream itself, keep a dream journal by your bed so you can write them down, and possibly choose them as lottery numbers.

You find good fortune through recent small wins.

  1. Have you recently won $10 or $50 on a scratch-off ticket? Maybe you found a $20 bill on the street or got an unexpected rebate through a purchase. Whatever small win you’ve experienced can encourage you to be positive about your ability to win big through the lotto.[7]
    • When good fortune is totally unexpected, it can feel even more like a gift. Practice gratitude any time you win small; it may open up the possibilities of winning bigger soon.

You have a gut feeling you’ll win.

  1. Learning to follow your intuition may help you not only when playing the lotto, but also anywhere in life when you have to trust your gut to make a decision that is best for you. Life coach Adrian Klaphaak, CPCC, suggests "shifting from doing and planning to being receptive.”[8] Pay attention to how you feel; if that gut feeling is there, it’s a good sign some luck is coming your way.[9]
    • To encourage this feeling that you should buy a lotto ticket, practice manifesting the outcome you desire. While lotto is ultimately a game of chance, you might find it helpful to focus on positivity with mantras like “I visualise the joy and freedom I will experience when winning the lotto,” or “I’m in alignment with the positive vibrations of winning the lotto.”
    • This urge to buy a lottery ticket might feel stronger if you don’t usually play. If you do wake up one day and can’t shake the thought that you need to buy a lotto ticket, go with it. Your chances of winning are not likely to increase if you don’t play.

Your palm indicates a financial windfall.

  1. The money line is a short vertical line running from the base of the pinky. A long or deep money line is believed to indicate wealth and prosperity.[12]
    • If the end of your head line (which runs horizontally from between the thumb and index finger across the palm) has an upward branch, it’s thought to indicate a windfall, like winning the lotto.
    • If an upward line exists at the beginning of the life line and head line, you may have a good chance to win the lottery or have a sudden windfall.[13]
    • Palmistry is not a science, and interpretations of palm lines can vary.

    Look for different signs of winning the lottery instead of focusing on just 1 or 2. When many signs are pointing in one direction, it can signal something that is more predestined.

You’re experiencing synchronicities or coincidences.

  1. Maybe you overheard someone on the bus or train talking about the winning jackpot amount. Then, you saw an advertisement for the lotto or a news story about a recent lotto winner. It could be as random as watching a movie you know nothing about, where a character wins the lotto.[14]
    • Pay attention to these synchronicities in your day-to-day experiences when you’re thinking of playing.

You have a feeling of euphoria.

13

You are overtaken with a sense of generosity.

15

You see unexpected changes in the weather.

  1. While there is no scientific evidence that certain weather patterns are luckier than others, the weather can influence how you feel. You might be more likely to feel positive on a warm, sunny day and decide to buy a lotto ticket, while a cold, rainy day may not feel like the right time to play.[19]
    • If a sudden change in weather fills you with a sense of luck and positivity, take advantage of your feelings if you want to play the lottery.

A stranger says you’ll be a winner.

  1. Someone you come into contact with might comment on how lucky you are. You might have just grabbed the last sale item at the store, or caught a train that switched from local to express. If someone nearby notices, they might say you should “buy a lotto ticket.” They’re not necessarily a direct sign of good fortune, but might help you believe in your own ability to win big.[20]
