One of the United Kingdom's best-known psychics has packed away her crystal ball after winning a lotto ?jackpot.

Beti Schulz, 71, landed ?2.2 million (US$3.5 million) when her ?numbers came up in the UK National Lottery.

Now, the ?clairvoyant has decided to retire after spending almost 40 years predicting the future.

A pal said, "Beti had a lot of fans and they are very disappointed that she is calling it a day. But they are also delighted for her because she has been so good to them."

Pals say Beti banked around ?730,000 (US$1.2 million) after her three-person ?lottery pool celebrated a ?2.2 million bonanza earlier this year.

She told the local media, "I've not won millions ? the money was split three ways. But there's enough for me to retire and buy a house.

"I know I'm quite well-known but people will just have to go elsewhere. I'm ?finished with work. I'm tired of it."

Gran Beti, who only ever gave ?readings for women, charged her customers ?30 per session and told them their ?fortune from a small room in her home in Glasgow's west end.

She decided to turn away male customers years ago after being spooked by a gangster who once visited her for a reading.

Beti has now sold her flat and splashed out on a detached home in Bearsden on the outskirts of the city after finally striking it lucky.

One source said, "Beti has been getting asked for the winning lottery numbers for years. She is thrilled that she has won the money and is able to retire after all these years. But she knows folk will think she has used her ?psychic powers to get the numbers right."

Beti once said in an ?interview, "Do I have psychic ability? Well, I just read the cards and pass on any other things that come into my head. :p

"I don't go into trances or anything like that. I use my insight as well as reading Tarot cards. I don't call it anything other than that."

why is this in the conspiracy forum? just because she's a "psychic"?

i think this should be moved out of the conspiracy sub-forum

also, those are some nice lottery winnings, nice that she split it 3 ways too :)

I just think of them as "Entertainers", like magicians, clowns, and the WWE.

And like someone mentioned, she should just keep doing it, from the publicity, besides, I don't see how someone could buy a house and retire on 1.2 mil.

You would be wrong -- not all psychics are 'cons'. ;)

In case you don't read the fine print, this is also where Paranormal stuff goes -- been that way for many years.

Shame more people don't actually read.

It's a Conspiracy!

    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time

      By Malisk · Posted

      I have this one and it's great, also paired with a Mac. I like the white back aesthetics of it and ability to have all your wireless usb peripherals under a clean lid. 4K @ 120 Hz and 65W usb-c charging is not bad even at its typical price point. The U series is probably better for commercial photo work though; IIRC one reason this one is priced in a different bracket is because it's not calibrated and verified for optimal color accuracy. Not something I think of in daily use, coding, and light gaming though.
