I have seen Camel bucks and various coupons offered before, I assumed they gave what they had. My former pastor would have returned the ticket to the lottery commission, since he preached gamblers were among the most accursed of sinners every since the day they cast lots for the Saviors clothes.

My wife used to make the same argument to me. I told her, "It's not gambling, it's just a VERY VERY risky investment."

However, there is no commandant against gambling. Did your pastor say giving vinegar to your neighbor is a sin ,too?

He’d have been my “former” pastor, too. Gambling to the extent of losing all or even a significant share of one’s resources and taking from his/her family is indeed a sin, but even at that level, far from the worst of all sins. I just couldn’t take a pastor seriously who made that argument.
