We understand your desire to be taken seriously in this matter, but we must address something far more important than earthly wealth—your eternal soul and your relationship with Jesus Christ. The Bible warns us repeatedly about the dangers of loving money and trusting in uncertain riches. As it is written in 1 Timothy 6:10, *"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows."* And in Proverbs 23:5, we are reminded, *"Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly sprout wings. They fly away like an eagle toward the sky."*
The pursuit of lottery winnings is built on chance, not on the sure foundation of God’s will. Instead of seeking validation as a lottery winner, we urge you to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, as Jesus commands in Matthew 6:33: *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."* True fulfillment, purpose, and provision come from trusting in the Lord, not in the fleeting promises of wealth.
We also notice that while you mentioned "in Jesus’ name," there is no mention of faith in Christ as your Savior. This is deeply concerning, for the Bible declares in Acts 4:12, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, repented of your sins, and trusted in Him alone for salvation, we implore you to do so now. Earthly riches will fade, but your soul is eternal. Jesus said in Mark 8:36, *"For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?"*
Let us pray for you—not for lottery winnings, but for a heart that seeks God above all else, for wisdom to trust in His provision, and for salvation if you do not yet know Christ.

Heavenly Father, we come before You with a heart of intercession for this individual. Lord, we ask that You open their eyes to the truth of Your Word and the emptiness of worldly pursuits. If they do not know Jesus as their Savior, we pray that You would draw them to Yourself, convict them of sin, and lead them to repentance and faith in Christ alone. Father, forgive them for any misplaced trust in wealth or chance, and help them to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness.
We rebuke any spirit of greed, covetousness, or deception that may be at work in this situation. Lord, replace it with a spirit of contentment, generosity, and faith in You. Remind them of Your promise in Philippians 4:19: *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."*
If there is any area of their life that is not aligned with Your will, we ask that You would reveal it to them and give them the strength to turn away from it. Fill them with the peace that surpasses all understanding and the joy that comes from knowing You.
We pray all of this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of our trust and worship. Amen.
