Wiccan with magic touch scores record lottery jackpot
September 3, 2007

NOTTINGHAM, Md. -- Elwood ''Bunky'' Bartlett says a New Age book store made it possible for him to become an overnight multimillionaire.
He and his wife, Denise, were on their way to the shop where he occasionally teaches Wicca and Reiki healing when they stopped at a liquor store and bought two $5 Mega Millions tickets for Friday night's $330 million jackpot. On Sunday, he said one ticket was a winner.

''If it wasn't for this place I wouldn't have won the lottery,'' Bartlett said at Mystickal Voyage, the New Age shop.

Four winning tickets to the Mega Millions jackpot were sold.

Bartlett, an accountant from Dundalk, said he made a bargain with the multiple gods associated with his Wiccan beliefs: ''You let me win the lottery and I'll teach.''
If estimates of the jackpot hold true, it would be the fourth largest in the lottery's history.

guess his God was listening. what a miricle !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could have a thread asking whose god, goddess, or ungod helped the most devotees win the lottery...

I was just posting the answer to a prayer. Seems God listens to all of them . not just christians, jews and muslims.

God could care less through whom or how you believe.

I saw them on the news, I thought it looked like a Pagan shoppe in the background. Good for them.

No offense meant, Lieutenant. I just thought it might an interesting idea, and there is precedent.

Who knows? You might have elicited evidence of other prayers being answered, perhaps from a diversity of gods, and thereby acquired empirical support for your belief.

I'm very happy for him.
