I am sure that there are lots of people praying to win the lottery right now...and most of them are buying tickets.
So...
your question is "Does prayer work?"
And...
my answer is yes...
I have had specific and even miraculous answers to prayer. But I don't recall one of this type.
It seems God has established some laws to the universe, which are seldom, if ever violated.
Even Jesus got turned down once in the garden of Gethsemane.
I think the LottoPrayer would actually be: "God, allow me to happy and successful, and have enough to share."
I think...
if you pray that prayer...you WILL get an answer.
God bless.

Even if you bought a ticket God won't help you win. Prayers get a YES stamp when they align with God's will and God's word(Bible). Good luck though.
God Bless

A prayer like that is a prayer of a selfish person and No if you don't buy a ticket you don't stand a chance of winning!

Why would he give you the root of all evil, unless he knows that you are going to do some real good to help others. God knows your heart better than you think you know it.
perhaps the winning ticket would float down into your hand, anything is possible with God:)

If you mean "when I pray to achieve a goal and then don't apply myself will my desire still be fulfilled?" Then no.
But if you mean "will God give me something for nothing?" Then yes. He does it all the time. They're called gifts.

The One True God gives you body, mind and soul, and His Revelation, and His Covenant, all of which no amount of money can buy.

Why ask a question you already know the answer to? You shouldn't pray for yourself, you should pray for those around you.

Sure. God can make a person rich in many ways - money is the least of them, though.

Yes, but you have to stand outside the deli on a windy day. I'll leave the rest to you to figure out.

Everythong os possible but you shouldn't count on it. Somebody might need it more than you. Don't pray for it take your chances.
