There once was a man who was obsessed with winning the lottery. Night after night, he would kneel by his bedside, and fervently pray to God.
"Oh, Lord!" the man would beg, "Please let me win the lottery tonight. Please. Please, O Lord! Let me win the lottery!"
Night after night, month after month, year after heartbreaking year, the man continued his praying.
One night, as the man was, once again, kneeling by his bed and fervently praying his prayer, his bedroom was suddenly filled with an unearthly light, and the man heard a blessed sound - as if a choir of a thousand thousand angels were singing.
And the man heard the voice of Almighty God saying:
"Look, buddy. You gotta meet me halfway. Buy a freakin' ticket!"
