    No, but not for the typical reason you’d expect, e.g. it’s a form of gambling. This is because I did come up with an idea once of how I could at least be able to create a huge inheritance for any children I might have but I was convicted not to do it. I don’t think there is anything wrong about being successful over a period of time as this keeps you humble, however imagine you won and suddenly had a lump sum placed into your bank account. You are now free to indulge in the world, and even if you stay true to your own path, your relationship with friends and family is likely to change overnight, your ability to convert them to Christ will be severely impacted and you will stop leaning on God because your new found wealth may give you a false sense of security. I think actually winning could do more harm than good and could impact your eternal reward significantly. Therefore, if being wealthy is your goal, I’d avoid quick rich methods.
