[Why do we never see the headline............Fortuneteller wins lotto !!!]
Because the demons they get their information from do not know the future, they can only tell you what has happened and make educated guesses on what is going to happen based on knowledge that they are privy to (e.g. closed door meetings of the elite). The lotto is something random, if there was ever a corrupt lotto where the numbers were known ahead of time (by some "inner circle"), then you'd start seeing fortun-tellers winning the lotto.

Anybody listen to 'Clutch'?
"Fortune tellers make a killing nowadays,
Me, oh my,
Howdy Doody's past the house of Aquarius,
Bring me more whiskey and rye"
I was gonna agree with this guy but I can't get by the demon thing. So close buddy, so close.

People do this on a daily basis. Some guesses are more abvious than others, but you make them about everything.
You make an educated guess about things not stopping with existing if you are not registering them with your senses.
You make an educated guess about the highway still being there 10 miles ahead.
You guess about what parts are more or less important when studying for a test. Oh sorry, you're not getting an education so you won't be doing this.
You even make guesses about the taste of food.
Congratulations. You are demon possessed.
So, you asume that something that has not happened yet can be known but a being which has been not proved it exists, or that has such powers is boycotting and sabotaging this capacity?, you´re not superstitious, you live in fantasyland. And by the way, the last line contradicts the first. Non-contradiction award?
"Because the demons they get their information from do not know the future, they can only tell you what has happened and make educated guesses on what is going to happen based on knowledge that they are privy to (e.g. closed door meetings of the elite)."
I was about to say that this is exactly what human beings do, so it isn't that impressive of demons.
However, I was struck by that parenthetical bit about demons being able to know what goes on in "closed door meetings of the elite." This wild assumption cracks me up. So demons can't know the future, but they CAN snoop on secret meetings of some shadowy ruling class?
So, finally we know where the fundies get their "information" about world-controlling conspiracies: from demons!

Well, it's a funnel. The stereotypical asylum patient is supposed to like wearing one as a hat while he walks his pet toothbrush (unless he thinks he is Napoleon, a king or Jesus, of course, in which case he'll wear the appropriate headwear).
At least that's how the image goes here in France, is it different in the US?
Adrian: A funnel? With hot-pink fur trim??? Oooookaaaay, if you say so.
So French loonies like to wear funnel hats, eh? You know, I don't think I'm all that familiar with the current fashions of the mentally deranged in America (apart from the de rigueur rubber wallpaper and wraparound-long-sleeved-garments). Should I be concerned that you're more familiar with that sort of thing?

Nah, not pink fur trim, it's presented on a pillow. I found this picture and I got the image of MChat being awarded the Golden Funnel for Pure Lunacy (I know, the guy holding the pillow doesn't look all that sane either, perhaps they're both inmates in the same asylum).
As for my mental health, you don't need to worry. As I said, the loon wearing a funnel and a straightjacket/pajamas is a classic image/caricature; if anything, it is a bit dated. No insider knowledge required. ^^
Then how come fortune-tellers don't predict wars, revolutions, corporate mergings, or anything else for that matter?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
