Mystic Meg death LATEST — Tributes pour in for ‘brilliant & incomparable’ astrologer Margaret Lane as she dies aged 80

Mystic Meg’s lottery predictions

In 1994, when the BBC launched their National Lottery show they turned to Meg to make predictions live on air, watched by 20million viewers.

Dave Shapland said: “She stayed there every Saturday night for three years and when Meg’s predictions about winners happened she became legendary.

“Even now some still think she is on the Lottery for some reason. That’s the kind of impact she made on it. It was quite incredible.”

On March 29, 1997, Meg predicted the lottery jackpot would be bought in Sunderland.

The winning ticket WAS bought in Sunderland – by a syndicate of Sun readers who shared £2.4million.

And in 2002 Mystic Meg helped Sun reader John Billson win nearly £23,000 in a bet.

After his wife Helen showed John, of Market Harborough, Leics, Meg’s Sun horoscope predicting ‘luck is linked to football scores’, he bet £6.50 on a five-match accumulator and scooped £22,797.
