Recently there was a mega jackpot lottery of 1.5 billion. Sooo many people were putting their hopes and dreams into winning. Why? What would one do with winning all of that money? Help people? Pay bills? Spend lavishly? I know plenty of people who bought tickets hoping and praying they'd win. This brings me to my point. Christians should not be playing the lottery. Is not God our inheritance? Does He not provide for us with what we need? The point here is we as believers of Christ have no business playing the lottery or gambling. Besides the lottery is a scheme of Satan provided for by the Illuminati a.k.a. the Antichrist Movement.
Remember when Satan tempted Jesus? Matthew 4:1-11: "(1) Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. (2) And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. (3) And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. (4) But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (5) Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, (6) And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. (7) Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. (8) Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; (9) And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. (10) Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. (11) Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him."
Yeah a lot to post, but I wanted to bring up Matthew 4:1-11 to my fellow Christ followers. The devil tempted Christ by offering Him the kingdoms of the world if He'd bow down and worship Lucifer (Satan), but Jesus refused and defeated Satan during this temptation. This is one of the examples that He set for us to follow. Playing the lottery is no different except we are the ones being tempted. This lotto money isn't from God, but Satan. When we play the lottery, we Christ followers are basically saying the offer from Satan is better than Jesus which is a lie. Remember Christ told us that it'd be hard for a rich person to enter into heaven because they tend to rely on money instead of God. Matthew 19:23-24: "(23) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. (24) And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." Why else do you think there so many horror stories from lottery winners? Just check out this video of 10 horror stories of lottery winners which include death, murder, debt, drug habits and so on.

While he has kepted his money, he has lost so much over it such as friends and family. Satan is in control of the lottery. This particular case is different. The guy wouldn't spend foolishly. So those around him: friends, family, co workers, etc. started treating him differently. If a person win the devil's lottery, he will either tempt you to spend and live recklessly or he will attack you using those around you. Money does not buy you happiness, but exposes more of who a person is. If a person drinks, likes to party, uses drugs, addicted to porn, addicted to prostitutes, addicted to strippers, addicted to gambling, or whatever, that extra money will tempt a person to go overboard in those areas of destruction.
I had come across a video which prompted me to do a post about this. Check out the vid:

Conclusion
Times are hard for most people. We think playing the lottery will help us, but in reality, it's a nightmare if you win. Just research this for yourself.
