:) Don't let this happen to me?

The poor man was in great difficulties. His business was failing and it looked as if he was facing bankruptcy. As a last resort he popped into the local church and kneeling down he prayed fervently.

"Oh God, please don't let this happen to me, please let me win the lottery."

But on Saturday night, he had no luck.

The following week, the situation got worse. the man lost his house and all his possessions, so once again he went into Church and prayed desperately, "Oh please, I beg you, please let me win the lottery."

But again, he had no luck.

On the following Monday, his wife and children left him and he was now completely on his own. He ran into church, got down on his knees and pleaded....

"Oh God, all has gone, I have nothing left. Have pity on me, I beg you. Pleeeeease let me win the lottery."

At that moment, there was a tremendous thunderclap, a bright flashing light and God boomed out,

"Help me out on this one Amos; buy a ticket!"
