I suppose that mass prayer for someone who is ill and knows that the praying is going on might cause a positive psychological reaction. Same for war and games like football.

How about affecting the lottery which should be immune unless it's crooked? If each denomination tried to out do the other denominations on prayer power by buying a single ticket would the winner then have proof of have the most influence with God? Or would this just be a coincidence?
