That's a good one. The more jokey and less parable one I also like is the minister praying to god to win the lottery so he can make needed repairs to the church and after 3 weeks of praying and not winning, he prays again and the heavens open up and light shines down as he hears a booming voice say...
I know a guy who's retirement plan is to find a winning lottery ticket. He argues that the odds of winning are almost equally close to zero whether or not he buys a ticket.
