Abel really wants to win the sweepstake.

He prays to God - "Lord please let me win this sweepstake the bills are mounting up I have less money coming in than before, please Lord let me win this sweepstake"

The day comes and nothing at all,
the next weeks sweepstake is coming so Abel again prays to God - "Lord please let me win this sweepstake the washing machine has broke the car has broke down and my clothes are becoming worn"

Nothing -- again !
The next sweepstake is coming and again Abel prays to God "Oh Lord please; I'm desperate this time my wife is on the verge of leaving me and taking the kids I'm not going to have anywhere to live, please Lord I'm begging you let me win that sweepstake"

Then a thunder clap sounds -- the clouds part, and a booming voice sounds from overhead

"My child, at least meet me halfway -- BUY A TICKET!!"
