Hiam A. Suckor, a life-long Bristol resident, bought 200 Powerball tickets for last Saturday’s $1.4 billion drawing but unfortunately did not have the winning ticket. Hiam was convinced he had the winning answer when he got an email Friday afternoon from an on-line psychic who had picked the winning numbers for several other Powerball drawings.

The psychic, a woman named Gymme Yurmoney, even posted the winning numbers from the last five drawings, which she said she had predicted days in advance. Hiam used PayPal to send $57 to Mrs. Yurmoney, and she forwarded her predictions to him for Saturday’s drawing.

There were 200 combinations in all that Yurmoney sent to Hiam, with a guarantee that one of them would be the winner.

When all was said and done, Hiam was out $400 for the 200 tickets, plus the $57 sent to the psychic. He also could not get his money back, because the psychic website disappeared.

Hiam said he was pretty upset at his bad fortune, but he learned a valuable lesson.

He said he planned to make his money back by playing on-line solitaire, as he had seen several testimonials from dozens of people who were making hundreds of dollars a day with the on-line game.
