Yes I also have some psychic ability and i have used it to pick the lottery though it's not developed enough yet to get all the numbers right but I am getting there. I practice my ESP with the Zener cards.
I had that ability all my life until a few years ago. I won too many times to keep count (not the big ones, but considerably more than the price of the ticket; and on some occasions the equivalent of a good monthly salary).
I noticed that a deep joy in your heart combined with a (genuinely) breezy, almost "light-headed" attitude usualy did it.
Alas, the opposite is also true.
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that I have natal Jupiter in my 5th house.
It doesn't explain why it doesn't work anymore, though, because Jupiter is still in my 5th house.
Or why another person that I know who also has Jupiter (unchallenged) in her 5th house never wins.
Back to topic: I haven't noticed any recurrent or particularly "positive" aspects on those occasions that I did check.
