Sure, but it would require her to know she was going to get at least $9,601 before Final Jeopardy AND get the question right. If you\u2019re going to come up with a fake number, there are easier ones she could have chosen.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, she attests she did\u00a0<em>not<\/em> wager based on the drawing:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis was not on my mind at all while wagering. I was just betting what I needed to in case Erin bet everything and got it right.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As for naysayers who think the drawing was just made afterward, the graphic designer responded:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAnd the drawing was sent to @muffymarracco @lynnqyu and @AriannaHaut before taping.

Read the commentary (below):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWell Katie that\u2019s amazing! You are a visionary\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheres a radio interview out there with <strong>Bill Buckner<\/strong> (YEARS before \u2018the incident\u2019) where he says his \u2018worst nightmare\u2019 would be for the ball to slip between his legs during a World Series.

If not, then sorry to say, anyone can come after the fact and say that they wrote down the winning lottery numbers before the draw. Why is this news worthy?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was in your subconscious. I\u2019m sorry, I do believe in dreams\/visions coming true but you knew the $ beforehand and created it. Yes, you had to have enough $ to make it happen but you did it, not the universe. You had a vision and made it occur.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Yup, very divided!
