Wow...it's amazing to see all the WONDERFUL advice that Todd, Jim, Pac, and Optimistic gave and you are still looking for that winning number. It makes me wonder if there truly is a need. As Pac stated temp agencies are ALWAYS looking for help, and if I had 4 children and was raising them by myself, I would do whatever I can humanly do to provide for them...even working for temp agency, selling on eBay, contacting local churches, United Way, Salvation Army, and Catholic Charities. These agencies are there to assist the community when one is in need, so why not seek help with them rather than looking for a winning number. As Todd stated the odds are stake against you when it comes to actually winning, so why on earth use money that can go towards keeping a roof over your children head, if that truly is the case. The lottery is NOT a quick fix to all your financial problems, however those agencies listed above are!
