The Noble Qur'an - Al-Ma'idah 5:90, 91
O you who believe! intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), gambling, Al-Ansab (stone alters), and Al-Azlam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaytaan's [Satan's] handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful.
Shaytaan wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. So, will you not then abstain?
Umm..
Time to throw out that lottery ticket!
Eliminate the words "I bet" from your vocabulary. You could say, "I imagine" or "I suppose" or "It's my guess", followed, of course, by "insha'Allah."
