- Pennsylvania resident connects lottery winnings to alien EVP contact
- Confirmed Pick 4 victories clash with extraordinary paranormal assertions
- Skepticism arises over unverified teaching credentials and shifting origin narrative
A resident of Pennsylvania asserts that extraterrestrial beings assisted him in winning the lottery on three distinct occasions through communication he attributes to “electronic voice phenomena” (EVP) and visual cues in spectrogram images.
It is a documented fact that Gary Arnold has indeed won the lottery on at least two occasions, which may be one of the few verifiable aspects of this tale. In 2022, he won $17,500 in the Pennsylvania Lottery’s Pick 4 game, and two years later, he secured an additional $27,500 in the same draw.
Last year, he claims that these otherworldly beings directed him to play the Powerball using numbers discerned from a spectrogram. Unfortunately, his luck ran out as he fell just two numbers short of the multi-million dollar jackpot, winning only a few hundred dollars instead.
‘The Intangibles’ Initiate Contact
Arnold professes that he was a professor at the University of Lincoln in Oxford Township—details that may be in dispute—when he first encountered the beings he refers to as “the intangibles.” He asserts he was seated in the university library when he suddenly heard an unusual sound in his right ear. Arnold attempted to record this phenomenon using a basic cell phone voice recorder positioned near his ear.
“When I listened back, I expected to hear a strange frequency or noise,” Arnold shared with CBS 21 News. “What I actually heard was a whisper that said my name.”
Since that moment, Arnold claims to have been in ongoing communication with these entities. Understanding that skepticism may surround his assertions, he regularly uploads recordings of these interactions to his personal website. He asserts that forensic specialists have analyzed the voice and confirmed it “was not produced by human vocal cords.”
Arnold typically receives lottery number picks through spectrograms—visual sound representations on his computer that morph into numbers. On one peculiar occasion, the entities chose to convey their message through his pet pigeon, Sherbertz.
While reviewing footage of a video he recorded featuring Sherbertz, Arnold noticed what he believes to be the beings communicating winning lottery numbers through an EVP via the bird. The numbers communicated? One, one, one, one. This event marked the occasion of Arnold’s second Pick 4 success.
“You can’t invent stories like this!” he exclaimed, albeit inaccurately.
Invention or Reality?
Meanwhile, Casino.org has been unable to confirm Arnold’s assertion regarding his professorship at Lincoln in 2017—or at any time—due to the absence of publicly available records linking him to the university as a faculty member.
Moreover, a 2020 article in The Chester County Press details his initial encounter with the voices, yet it makes no reference to a professorship or university library.
Casino.org has reached out to Lincoln University for clarification. We sincerely hope they can authenticate the claim—because without it, one has to wonder what else might be fabricated. Surely, not the pigeon?
