A Jewish guy called Jacob finds himself in dire trouble. His business has gone bust and hes in serious financial trouble. Hes so desperate that he decides to ask God for help. He goes into the synagogue and begins to pray

God, please help me, Ive lost my business and if I dont get some money, Im going to lose my house as well, please let me win the lotto.

Lotto night comes and somebody else wins it.

Jacob goes back to the synagogue.

God, please let me win the lotto, Ive lost my business, my house and Im going to lose my car as well.

Lotto night comes and Jacob still has no luck!!

Back to the synagogue.

My God, why have you forsaken me?? Ive lost my business, my house, my car and my wife and children are starving. I dont often ask you for help and I have always been a good servant to you. Why wont you just let me win the lotto this one time so I can get my life back in order???.

Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light as the heavens open and Jacob is confronted by the voice of GOD himself:
JACOB, MEET ME HALF WAY ON THIS ONE, BUY A DAMN TICKET
