This nice, old Jewish man really wanted to win the lottery.
So, one week, he goes to synagogue and he says (good
Yiddish accent mandatory), "Oy, Lord of heaven and
earth, imagine how much good I could do with ze money
I vould vin if I von the lottery! Imagine how much charity
I could give! Help me vin the lottery and I will spent
ze money visely!"
He doesn't vin... err.. win the lottery.
The next week, he goes to synagogue again and says, "Oh,
lord of heaven and earth, you must not have heard me last
veek! Imagine how many lives I could make easier with ze
money from ze lottery! Help me vin ze lottery!" Once
again, he doesn't win.
The third week, he goes to synagogue again and prays in
a similar vein.
Suddenly, he hears a voice from the heavens: "Help
me, help me!"
He says, "Lord of heaven and earth, what can I do
to help you?"
"Buy a ticket!"
