Is a trap.
It puts our financial faith in something other than God. It is one thing to “buy a chance” in some school fair game, but to put your financial hope in this is dangerous.
Lotteries, slot machines, horses and card games and the like. It is also extremely addictive and can destroy your peace, take away your joy, and break you financially. Most of money made by gambling companies is provided by the same people who need the money the most – the poor.
We are to wait on the Lord to supply our needs.
Do not be enticed
