>Do any of you guys know what the Minerva Rule is, or Minerva's rule?

Yeah, it comes from Hegel:

The 19th-century German idealist philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel famously noted that
>"the owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of the dusk"—
meaning that philosophy comes to understand a historical condition just as it passes away. Philosophy appears only in the "maturity of reality," because it understands in hindsight.

Basically a fancy-schmancy way of saying one can only actually know something after it’s too late...I ALWAYS know the winning lottery numbers, my problem is that I only know them a day too late, after all.

Minerva’s (Roman goddess of knowledge) owl symbolizes knowledge and since it only flies at dusk - AFTER the day is all but ended - it means the wisdom/insights/truth/etc it can offer are only available after it’s too late to act on them.
