LOL Goq!! 😀
these days, when money is tighter, I also sometimes just put in for the jackpot… I figure if it’s meant to be, then I’ll win. (I haven’t). you have just as much of a chance to win as anyone else… if that’s what Hashem decided for you on Rosh Hashana & sealed on Hoshana Rabba.
as I said on other threads, I haven’t won ANYTHING in over 2 yrs now. but in 2009, @ one auction, I won 4 prizes.. 2 were jackpot. (one kosher Colorado trip & one bridal gown rental).
you havta give maaser anyway, so take the chance 🙂
