I was convinced I was going to win a local lottery because I thought God was sending a message to me because when I first turned on the TV for the first time in months an ad started for the lottery. The results were today and it turns out I didn't win, but I was convinced I was going to.
I even tried to really clean up my act since the message from God for positive karma, I stopped pirating music/movies, stopped watching porn and stopped jacking off, all of that for around 2 months. In a way I guess it was a good experience because I'm not going to instantly revert completely and do all that crap I used to. I think I didn't win because I was consumed by greed, I would think about winning and spending money on unnecessary stuff so often.
I know that feel OP. Gambling and lotteries mess with my head. I get convinced I'll win. Only way to win such games is not to play.

Fate isn't real, God doesn't send messages to people, and anyone who disagrees is an fool.
You'll never win the lottery, but maybe this is a good opportunity to turn your life around.
>>38316907
Keep up the good work opie.
Just stay away from gambling.
>>38316907
Why would you've thought that when you didn't even get dubs.
problem is OP you're not the only one "convinced" they will win with 100% certainty.... most people who play are. my parents friends have been doing this trash and scratching tickets for 30+ years with little to show for it. they still think they're going to win though

Not true.
Can't win if you don't play

Messages from God are usually symbolic rather than literal. It's more likely that an advertisement about a lottery is more a warning against greed.
"Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it." Proverbs 13:11

why would god tell you anything?

"The Lord God does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets." Amos 3:7
>>38318390

non of that stuff is pious read up on Roman Catholic values and you'll be more fortunate next time

"In the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; even on my male servants and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy. And I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke; the sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day." Acts 2:16-21

Gee what are the odds of that happening? 1 in however many ads are broadcast on that station during that day. If they have a lottery ad every commercial break that day and 5 commercials per break, the odds are literally only 5 that if you turned in during a break that is what you'd see.
The odds of winning the California Lottery are 1/44 million, for the pick 5 its 1/575757, and Powerball a whopping 1/292 million. Nevertheless I bought several of each cause I really want to win big money today. People do actually win the lottery sometimes, up to 10 times a year for the major lotteries, and the pick 5 has between 5 winners a week and 5 winners a day

alright, let's pretend you're right. what has god told you?
>>38318508
He says that you're a fucking homo.
>>38318514
>did you just post that I said that guy was a homo
yeah why
>that wasn't very nice
this is 4chan, it's sort of what people expect
>are you sure about this? I don't think this is going to convert anyone
I got this one, trust me
>I always get nervous when you say that
>>38316907
honestly this is the best post on r9k in a long time
>>38316907
well OP i think you got the message and i think you have already won
I think you were too vague with your wish, you have to close your eyes and visualize your goals, that's how these things work.
