Bouchard's signature money exercise closes the gap between wanting wealth and feeling it. She has you imagine you have won the lottery in your target amount, signed the paperwork, and been told the money will hit your account in 7 to 14 business days. In that window you would feel no lack at all, only certainty and excitement, because you know it is already yours and simply in transit. She has you plan what you would do with the money to deepen the reality, then instructs you to bottle and embody that feeling as your baseline state. It is a way to access the energy of abundance before the abundance physically arrives.
Origin
Bouchard developed the hack to answer the recurring question of how to feel like you have a million dollars when you cannot even afford to fill your car with gas.
Core principles
- 01The gap between wanting money and having it creates lack-energy that repels it.
- 02Certainty that something is already yours produces a completely different energetic state than hoping.
- 03You can borrow the felt security of guaranteed wealth before the money arrives.
How to run it
- 1
Win the lottery in your imagination
Picture being told you won the lottery in the exact amount you want to align with, having signed the paperwork so it is now a certain fact.
Pro tip Choose the specific number you want to feel aligned with rather than a vague 'a lot of money.'

Sit in the 7-to-14-day waiting window
Imagine the money is guaranteed but takes 7 to 14 business days to arrive, and feel the excitement and security of knowing it is already yours and just in transit.
Pro tip Plan what you would do with the money, how much to invest, gift, or spend, to make it feel even more real and yours.

Bottle and embody the feeling
Capture that state of abundance-without-lack and carry it as your everyday energetic baseline.
Watch out Because you already feel fulfilled, you avoid the urge to overspend when real money does arrive.
In the wild
Ali, a teacher on a low, stable salary, listened to abundance-focused activations while driving to work and getting ready for bed. Out of nowhere a former student called asking her to do consulting work.
→ She ended up making double her salary from the unexpected opportunity and became a committed believer in the practice.
Common mistakes
Trying to force the feeling from lack
Demanding you feel rich while staring at an empty account fails; the lottery frame works because it manufactures genuine certainty rather than wishful thinking.
Is it for you?
Best for
Anyone struggling to feel abundant while still financially constrained.
Not ideal for
People who need concrete financial-planning steps rather than a mindset primer.
