Sporting a "Luck of the Jedi I Have" T-shirt, a California retiree stepped forward Tuesday to claim a $425 million Powerball jackpot a month and a half after he bought the winning ticket.
And yes, B. Raymond Buxton knows it's April Fools Day — he specially chose April 1 to visit California Lottery headquarters in Sacramento, lottery officials said.
"'Unbelievable!' is all I could muster," Buxton said, according to the lottery. "I sat in front of the computer for hours in disbelief, frequently checking and rechecking the numbers across multiple sources. Once the initial shock passed, I couldn't sleep for days."

Buxton — who the lottery would only say is retired and lives in Northern California — was grabbing lunch at a Subway inside a convenience store in Milpitas when he decided to buy a second ticket Feb. 19.

“I have been in Corporate America for over 20 years and never have I come across a program that inspires and equips people to be and do their best in all aspects of their life. This program is a must for teams and individuals to achieve big goals.”

“What would happen if companies allowed their people to dream, perform far above what they thought possible, and achieve economic security? Your program, Thinking into Results, has the potential to redefine the economic landscape for the world, provided people have an open mind.
Thinking into Results has greatly expanded my possibility space and I know my consulting practice will grow quickly because I see it growing in my mind. I have introduced this program to one of my premiere clients and though the “experiment” has just started, they will be a different company. The executive team has already changed and is thinking much bigger thoughts with much higher aspirations.
And to think this all started with my short unintended and unexpected meeting with Bob Proctor. I have never felt more alive and I suspect my client feels the same way.”

When I first met Bob Proctor I was in a state of loss. Tragedy had struck my family , my business was failing and I was not a happy guy. I knew I had to do something or I would lose everything I had remaining. Bob Proctor taught me more in a few months than I had learned my entire life. He taught me how to use my mind to control and steer the direction of my life. Bob teaches in a very simple, specific and clear manner. I can honestly say I am a completely different person now than before I studied Bob's material. He is the best in the world at what he teaches and I would recommend his teaching to anyone. I have had the honor of spending some time with Bob during some of his events and I can tell you he lives what he teaches. It has been a very satisfying journey being able to learn from him. I will be using Bob's teachings for the rest of my life. I am extremely excited to live my life each day as it keeps getting better. If you are at all interested in making your dreams come true and living the life of your dreams study with Bob and take it all in. You will not regret it. It will be the best thing you could do for yourself and your loved ones.

It was that second ticket — a $2 impulse purchase — that hit it big.Why did he wait to come forward?
Buxton told lottery officials he had consulted the California Lottery's Winner's Handbook, which is replete with time-consuming advice like consulting an attorney, drawing up a financial plan and deciding whether to spread out the money over many years or take a smaller lump sum — the option Buxton chose, worth $242.2 million before taxes.
Buxton told the lottery he plans to set up a charitable foundation focused on pediatric health, child hunger and education.

Do You Have The Right Money Mindset?
Your thoughts turn into actions, so make
certain to select your thoughts cautiously
and quickly cut out the ones that don't
serve you.
It's easy to make cash errors; however, it
may be hard to figure out why you make
them-why you have a poor cash mindset in
the first place. Where mindset comes from is
an intriguing subject, because a lot of
individuals inherit their relationships with
cash from their parents or close relatives.
How we relate to cash on a psychological level
starts to form early in life. For example, if your
family was rich and always needed to project
an image of wealth with flashy cars or
expensive brands, you might still believe that
a materialistic lifestyle is crucial for your
self-pride, even if you can't afford it.
Or maybe your family was forever fighting
about how to spend cash or pay the bills when
you were young and impressionable. That could've
caused you to subconsciously get a feeling
that cash is the reason for troubles
in life or that it's a destructive force
in relationships. Perhaps somebody even told
you that "cash doesn't grow on trees" or
"cash is the root of all evil."
I've seen these issues cause individuals to
never build wealth and to keep talented
people from charging what they're worth
in business, for example. These sorts of
mental barriers are why it's crucial to
examine your mindset and consider whether
your thought processes around cash are
the ones you truly want, or whether
they need to be reformed.
The surprising thing is that even if
you learn a ton about personal finance
and make lots of cash, you may still
make devastating financial errors
again and again. Having a solid
cash mindset is the foundation on
which it's possible to build lasting
wealth.
