Um, sorry but that appears to miss on the #1 requirement for jokes - they have to actually be funny. That's just a feeble play on words, at best.
Getting back on track:
A man got into desperate trouble financially, and couldn't see any way out. He was sure that if nothing changed, he and his whole family were going to soon end up on the street with just the clothes on their back, no food and no hope of a better life.
So, that night before bed he got on his knees and prayed to God to help save him: "Dear Lord in heaven, please use your limitless powers to help me win the lottery so I can get back on my feet and make my family safe and happy again."
Next day, he watched the lottery results but there was no winner. Again, that night he prayed to God to save him and his family "If you just help us out by winning the lottery, I'll become a devout church member and dedicate my life to helping others."
Sure enough, once again he was disappointed - no winner, his name wasn't called. This went on for a number of weeks, and finally he was on the brink of complete failure.
That night he prayed again: "Dear God, I'm starting to lose faith... I've been praying to you every night for weeks now and nothing happens, nothing changes. I thought you were supposed to watch out over your flock, but I feel ignored. Why don't you help me?"
A large voice came from above: "Look pal, meet me halfway - buy a damn ticket already!"
