If all those psychics know the winning lottery numbers why are they still working?

Answer 1

I imagine it's because they just want to share the knowledge being so altruistic and all, or Karma?! (easy money has such pull and it's easier to take yours than to make their own)They can't remember which convenience store they bought all those tickets from. AnswerThe only ones still working are the fakes...

Another answer:

Because they enjoy telling other people the wrong lottery answer

Prediction is only one of many psychic abilities. Our family has a history of various psychic talents. If you have ability, other psychics take notice. From years of experience and talking to others, I can affirm that if you ask a TRUE psychic this question, they will tell you that, "True psychic abilities are a gift from God. These powers are bestowed for the betterment of mankind and may not be used for personal wealth." Psychics are allowed to charge nominal fees for their time and services, but if they try gouge their customers, they pay the price for their greed and find their powers weakening and failing them when needed most. Rich psychics are usually false psychics that prey on the gullible. Professional psychic hotlines are as much a scam as those late night TV "call me" dating ads. I have talked to a couple of non-psychics whom were temporaily employed in that line of work. Some use telemarketing ploys and artful questioning to get people to reveal things about themselves. With the advent of the internet. If you give them your full name and where you live. They can sit at a computer terminal do a search on you and if they can get hits such as personal websites, census or tax data, etceteras, they run with it. If not, they may improvise or read off from general listings provided to them by their employer. The longer they can keep you on the line the more money they make on their commissions.

If that is true why don't you give the winning number to some poor deserving person who is in desperate need of medical treatment?

These questions have been asked numerous times of psychics from John Edward to Edgar Cayce. Both have provided their answers in literature and the responses run much as follows. Although some people might find this hard to swallow, the psychics I know are deeply religious and feel that it is wrong to "muck about" too much with someone else's ultimate destiny. Sudden wealth is certainly a life changer. It is okay to answer questions on trivial matters, provide counsel, warn about potential dangers to include; what one should do concerning medical conditions, treatment, and proceedures, which physicians or medical facilities to seek care from, whether to seek out second opinions, etceteras. Yet, what the individual decides to do with that information is ultimately up to them to decide. These psychics see the trials and tribulations of this life as part of God's greater plan and God would not saddle us with troubles beyond our capability to deal with. I've heard other opinions that the life issues we must content with were experiences we chose to endure even before we entered these mortal bodies. To "cheat these systems" and take easy ways out are against karma and therefore unthinkable. By the way, some psychics do use spirit guides to assist them in divination and whenever such a question is posed, the spirit guides usually refuse to co-operate. Regardless as to how well intentioned the question.

Alternately:

Maybe they realize that lotteries are a surtax on the mathematically challenged.

Suppose:

Because true intuitives know that money is an illusion and do not ask for it. Be careful what you ask for.
