The topic of time travel is one of the most popular with science fiction writers and filmmakers. It is generally accepted that in reality a person is not able to travel to the past or the future, however, when people like Melvin Wilson appear in our world, doubts may arise in the soul that temporary travel is impossible. Such individuals seem to know (came from the future with this knowledge) what should happen, and reasonably use this knowledge to extract their benefits.
Melvin Wilson is a lucky magnet in lotteries
Melvin Wilson, a black-skinned retiree from Woodbridge, Virginia, wins the lottery all the time. Over the past 13 years, he managed to hit an enviable jackpot 4 times. In 2004, a man won $ 25,000. In 2005, he hit the jackpot twice, first receiving 500 thousand, and then a whole million. In 2013, the American became the owner of a lottery ticket, which again brought him 500 thousand dollars. When asked why he is so often lucky, Wilson replies that he just happens to be in the right place at the right time. Lucky tickets and numbers seem to mysteriously attract a pensioner.
Despite this, from the point of view of simple mathematics, it is simply impossible to win so often. The chances of hitting the jackpot at least once for each of us is negligible - much less than the chances of dying from a meteorite or shark teeth if you live far from the sea and never go there. However, becoming a big lottery winner 4 times is already a real fantasy. That is why many people refuse to believe in the simple luck of the American and suspect the rich man in the fact that he came to us from the future, taking with him the knowledge about lucky tickets that drop out today.
However, Wilson's lottery is not limited to. Currently, the man is prohibited from entering many gambling establishments in the United States, as he literally bankrupted a number of gambling halls.

Time Traveler got enthusiasts interested
Melvin got interested in an American non-profit organization looking for people from the past or the future. Volunteers involved in this project often make appointments for time travelers that they should have had in the past - for example, they might announce a meeting today that “took place” a week ago. Unfortunately, so far none of the people of the future has shown up in this way.
On the other hand, members of the organization can spy on people like Wilson. Researchers suggest that a pensioner came to us from the coming years specifically in order to enrich himself. In their opinion, a man can put his money in a Swiss bank and go back to the future, where millions in his account will turn into billions. Most likely, this person is an illegal time traveler using futuristic technology for his own enrichment.
According to representatives of this organization, last year they managed to get proof that Wilson came to us from the future. Following the man, experts noticed a note fall out of his wallet. Here's what it says:
Remember quotes and stock prices, lotteries and sports results. This will allow you to have a good life in the barbaric conditions of the 21st century. Money will be especially important for you if your return for some reason is delayed or even impossible. However, try to be careful and not be greedy. Several jumpers can claim to win any lottery - never conflict with them over this. Be careful not to win too often and too much, otherwise you will fall under the suspicion of special services, scientists and journalists.
Intelligence agents are interested in time travelers
Jumpers are likely to refer to other time travelers. As for the advice not to draw attention to yourself, Melvin clearly underestimated it. According to rumors, the special services have long been interested in the pensioner? as well as other "jumpers". For example, the FBI has an entire department that closely resembles the X-Files from the series of the same name. Employees of this department are engaged in the investigation of unusual situations that look supernatural and that can harm society and the existing order.
How many such "jumpers" are walking on the Earth now? There are 5-10 thousand of them, according to the calculations of experts. Time travelers, they say, periodically go back to the future, and new ones arrive in their place.
Other amazing wins
Naturally, Melvin Wilson is far from the only lucky one. There are much more impressive examples.
So, in 2008, a jackpot of $ 1.4 million in Wisconsin fell on 4 tickets, and they all belonged to the same married couple.
Vegas-based lotto fan Joan Ginter won $ 5.4 million in 1993, $ 2 million in 2006, 3 million in 2008, and $ 10 million in 2010! Anyone in their right mind would believe such a coincidence?
A California resident has won 6 times 1 million. The Canadian twice received 16 million. Another Canadian citizen won the lottery three times, making a total of $ 19.3 million. In 2002, a couple from Belmont hit 2 jackpots in one day: one for $ 126,000, the other for $ 17 million. A resident of Florida won 9.5 million in 6 months. And this is only a small part of such unimaginable cases. It seems that the lottery is the most effective way to get rich for those who come to us from the future. Is it really only time travelers who win big in the lottery?..
We talked about only one case of such fantastic luck, which, perhaps, is simply the notorious time machine, which our orthodox science does not want to believe …
