Lottery

For some reason unknown to me, I bought a lottery ticket today. Not very "Little Way". The jackpot is 140 million. I couldn't help but wonder if God might will it that I should win. Then I realized something. I had a 1 in 20 chance of being born in the US. Less than that of being born into a family not bound in poverty. Christian family? Again unlikely. And in all of human history, that I should be born in a time and place where I do not have to be worried about starvation and exposure on a daily basis... I already won the lottery. And I wonder why? Why me? Why you?
