Ouch. Does this ever sound familiar.
Sounds to me like you are asking four questions:
1. WHY do I seem to get glimpses of the future?
2. Am I CAUSING those futures?
3. What can (and can't) I DO with the information?
4. How do I live a NORMAL LIFE with this thing?
I have a similar precognitive gift. And like you, my precognitions tend to center more around death, tragedies and disasters than happy events. Took me quite a few years to get a handle on it, and decide whether it really is a "gift." (My decision is a "yes," by the way.) The best answers I have found for myself are as follow:
WHY:
Death and other losses are inevitable in life. I think we get these glimpses of the future to allow us time to prepare. The type of preparation is unique to the event. In one event, the precog may offer us the chance to express love or heal old wounds, so that we do not have regrets for things left unsaid. At other times, it will be so that we are forewarned and can help others around us who are affected by the loss. (I think the forewarning also lets us move through the grieving process more quickly.)
CAUSATION:
Be assured, you are NOT causing these losses. If your merely wishing for things caused them, you would know (absolutely, for sure, no questions) by now. Believe me, it takes one heck of a lot of energy and focus to cause events -- that, and a lot of hard work! A lot more than a mere wish or fantasy (even a very persistent one) provides. (That is why we distinguish "wishes" from "goals" and "achievements.") None of these events are your fault. Your anger, by itself, will not hurt the ones you love. (It can, however, hurt you, and what you do about being angry can have repercussions. But that is true for everyone.)
DOING:
So what can you do with the information? Not all that much. And everything.
By "NOT ALL THAT MUCH," I mean you will find that you cannot prevent major disasters. Learn to set guilt aside right now, or at least to try (easier said than done, I know). Anything else can eat you up.
You will also find that this is very little consolation. For example, on 09/10/2001 I stood with another precog, both of us having precogs at the same time, in response to the same sight -- but between the two of us all we got were two tall buildings, disappearing in gray, and images of fire in the sky. Not enough information to pinpoint the precog. We knew it was very, very important, but we just could not focus the precog. (Of course, the next day we figured it out.) For some reason, we precogs never get enough information to warn (and perhaps prevent) such events. And despite our previous experiences, we always seem to feel like we should have "this one time." I think we are not meant to be able to change these events.
By "EVERYTHING," I mean that we have the chance to do what we need to do for ourselves, and for those we love. The only thing we truly have power over is what we do. We cannot keep those we love with us forever, but a few words to those we love before they leave us can prevent years of regret (our's and others'). We can make a difference in our lives, and the lives of others. What gift could be greater than that?
Oh yeah. There is one extremely rare exception to that "you cannot prevent it" rule. This is where the precog ONLY AFFECTS YOU. I'm talking life threatening events here.
In all likelihood, you will NEVER have one of these precogs. Most precogs never do. (I've only spoken with one other precog who has.) If you do, you will KNOW it -- it will be of a magnitude and clarity that will put all your previous precogs combined TO SHAME. Fortunately, these precogs come with a complete set of instructions, telling you exactly what you need to do, and where you need to go. Don't panic or analyze it. Just follow it.
NORMAL LIFE -- SOME PRACTICAL TIPS FOR EVERYDAY LIVING:
First off -- no, there does not seem to be any way to "tune in" on the Lotto numbers (or if there is, I sure haven't found it). We get what we get, but we don't get to "fish" for information.
Unfortunately, if we share with others that we have this gift, it tends to be misunderstood. We're considered liars at best. (And crazy or charlatans at worst.) Others challenge us to "prove it," or try to get something out of it for themselves, and precognition just does not work on demand. In this path lie the destruction of friendships, and regret.
And if we do by chance manage to "prove it," people may be totally freaked out by it. In high school, I told a boyfriend who the person was who was knocking on his front door by name (someone I did not know) while I was on the phone several miles away. (He wondered out loud, so I told him. Then I realized what I had done.) Thank goodness his mother had a similar gift. He was discrete about it - discrete, but freaked out for about a month. I did not make that mistake again.
If you feel you just have to share a bit of precognitive information you with someone else (for example, so that they can get closure with a family member), try presenting it as "a hunch" you have. I have found this approach to be very effective. Pretty soon people will start listening because you have "these really good hunches." (Plus, when you say it to another precog who has had a glimpse of the same thing, he or she will recognize it, and often will "fess up." After all, how do you think I found other precogs?)
Also, sometimes these gifts are temporary -- disappearing by the time a person reaches 21 or so. Other times, not.

So that is about all I have to say about precognition. Hope this answers some of your questions.
