Jacob and the Lottery

Jacob is a well to do Jewish man with a beautiful wife and 3 children. He owns a start-up business that has been doing quite well recently.
However, his business suddenly goes bankrupt and Jacob goes to God for help.

Jacob kneels at the altar and says: "Lord I have always been faithful and have done my best to not violate the 10 commandments. I only ask that you let me win this week's lottery so that I may support my family."
Nothing happens and Jacob sinks deeper into despair.

Once again he prays: "Dear Lord, my business has been taken from me and now I have had to turn my house over to the bank for the want of money. I only ask that you let me win this week's lottery."

Still, nothing happens.

Jacob prays to God one last time: "Lord, I have always been faithful, yet now my business, my house and my 3 children have been taken from me. My wife has left me and I no longer have purpose to live. Please just let me win the lottery so I may get back on my feet."

Silence ensues, followed by a deafening voice.

"Jacob, meet me halfway on this and buy a damn ticket."

EDIT: No actual offense intended. I don't have anything against Jewish people.
