Falling apart in 2015. I was born on October 15th, 1981.

2015 has so far been the worse year of my life. Not only have I lost my dad but also my job. I have been unemployed from June and have applied to over 100 positions but to no avail. Financially, I'm in the ruins. Will this change? I want to play the lottery to change my luck, will it work? I've considered setting up my own business, selling food - should I make the investment or wait until october when the stars are in my favour?
