Powerball miracle
My winning the Powerball, might, and only might, be considered a miracle.
I never buy lotto tickets so that is one thing to consider.
To be a miracle though other routes to winning must be eliminated.
I cannot find the winning ticket.
There cannot be an equipment malfunction.
There cannot be a case of mistaken identity.
The winning must be certified as legitimate and universally so recognized.
I cannot inherit, be gifted or in any other manner acquire the winning ticket.
So, if with no possibility of my ever acquiring the winning ticket by any means, no possibility of malfunction or fraud, I win the Powerball and everyone agrees that even without a ticket I am the winner, it may well be a miracle.
If the IRS then decides that given the miraculous status of my winning I do not owe taxes on the winnings, then I think all might also agree that it is a miracle.
