I could make the usual comments about lotteries such as "Lotteries are a tax on those who are bad at mathematics" but rather I would like to comment on how lotteries are a way of the rich and the powerful exploiting the poor. People buy lottery tickets because they think that they will get rich but who really is getting rich? I know there is usual a winner or two but most people who buy lottery tickets cannot afford to waste that money. As a Christian we should not buy lottery tickets for a number or reasons.
First, it shows that we don't trust God for our daily needs. We would rather depend upon "luck" or "chance". Remember Paul said that those who don't work shouldn't eat.
Second, lotteries exploit the poor. As I have already said that most lottery tickets are purchased by those who cannot afford them.
