Why shouldn’t someone buy a lottery ticket??? If hashem wants to give u money he wants u to do something for it that’s called hishtadlis. Just imagine that u want to give someone a present lets say a car and this person couldn’t ever afford a car, and u call him up and say: surprise!!! I bought u a brand new car come with a car service and pick it up from my house, and he says what? A car service? Bring the car somehow to me. It’s like gambling maybe when I arrive somthing is going to happen to the car or he’s going to change his mind and I’m not going to get the car and its like gambling because I’m paying $7-8 for the car. What would u say about such a story? The person is crazy right ? Well whoever says this is gambling listen to the story this way hashem says hey my son I have a present $900m just go to a store and pick up a card that has the code to the money. And the these people who say that it’s gambling would answer, sorry hashem it’s gambling I’m not paying two bucks u bring it to me deliver the card with first class mail and that’s all. It also says in the torah that u can’t say don’t do anything hopefully hashem is going to make a ness. Whoever says that lottery is gambling I want to see if u have an answer to this. And if u ever thought of it this way? Ur missing a little emunah in hashem
