It’s not so much the where, what, and how, perhaps, but the why that makes us ask questions and create lavish fiction.
If you play the lottery, how much does it take to break even?
Spiritually, it’s about your mindset. Before you buy, when you pencil in those numbers, it’s your intentions and belief that create your potential gamified future. Rolling the dice, we allow an element of chaos into the mathematical structure.
Aurelia Sproule knows-—and how!
From a ticket purchased at Base Camp River Run, Sproule took home $421,359 from the InstaPlay Game Deal Me In, all of which she plans on saving. A longtime and consistent Idaho lottery player (and winner), Sproule wins again and again.
Side note: A man won the jackpot “$1,000,000 Raffle” ticket at the same Base Camp location back in October of 2021.
Is there a pattern emerging? Sproule is one of the brightest of our time. She readily admits that the lottery is best won when you think you will win. This is ‘will’ in action. You must believe and that belief translates with all the news you’ve taken in that week—your personal details, the numerical obsessions you may have and it becomes a gambit. The lottery culture is not a gambling culture, per se, but rather a ‘throw-a-penny-into-a-fountain’ type exhaustive exploratory expression of unexpected gifts or sudden bounties.
Is Idaho Onto Something?
According to idaholottery.com, “The Base Camp River Run location in Ketchum is quickly becoming one of the luckiest retailers in Idaho. In addition to selling her Deal Me In winner, the lucky store also sold the [aforementioned] top winning ticket from the 2021 Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle.

My Own Private Idaho
Sproule (understandably unavailable for comment, as per privacy) has survived at least one car crash, having been “ejected from her car following a crash while attempting to turn onto U.S. Highway 75, north of Hailey. Sproule is a type of hero. Life is about survival and thriving and she’s done both in style.
Such an amazing series in life should allow the freedom to dissociate with your basic material goods to realize how much of our life you actually have to live. Sproule showcases the psychological beauty of someone adamant in their decisions.
Is there a trick, a means or a method to winning the lottery? A group who regularly win hundreds of dollars from the Hailey Liquor Store are perhaps somewhat superstitiously, and gleefully, tight-lipped.
But Sproule has said all that needs to be said and it translates. Let’s say “it’s confidence and belief, beloved!”
