Do you have to be "deserving" in order to win the lottery?  Is it wrong to want to win the lottery for yourself first and then others? 

I've played the lottery for a long time.  Always dreamt of winning and what it would be like.  Is winning the lottery all about luck/fate or does God play a role in it?  I know I've prayed to God to win so many times to no avail.  I want to win because I want to be debt free and have that sense of security.  But, of course, I really want those material things too.  The new house, new car, vacations, clothes, jewelry, etc.  Is that wrong?  Shouldn't I be thinking of all the people I could help out with that money, besides friends and family?  Shouldn't I be thinking about what charity I could donate to?  I admit, I don't really think about that.  Well... maybe as an after thought.  I feel guilty for wanting buy that expensive car (Range Rover) and that nice model home I saw by Toll Brothers.  I think about what it would be like to go on a shopping spree and experiencing what it feels like to shop without fear of what something may cost.  Do others think like this?  I'm sure they do.  I can't be the only one. 

The hubby and I were talking about the lottery yesterday and he posed a question to me.  I wondered how other people would answer the question... 

If you were told you could choose when you won the lottery within one year, would you choose to win the next drawing or wait for a huge jackpot?
