Lottery

Hugh is in dire trouble. His business has gone bust and he's in serious financial straits. He decides to ask God for help. "God, please help me. I've lost my business and if I don't get some money soon, I'm going to lose my house as well. Please, let me win the lottery." Lottery night comes and somebody else wins the top prize. Hugh prays again, "God, please let me win the lottery. I've lost my business, my house and now I'm going to lose my car as well!" Lottery night comes  and Hugh still has no luck. "Dear God! I've lost my business, my house, my car and my wife and children are starving. I don't often ask you for help and I have always been a good servant to you. Please, let me win the lottery this one time so I can get my life back in order." Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light. Hugh is confronted by the voice of God himself. "Hugh, my son, just meet me halfway on this one. Buy a ticket!"
