Lottery for good objectives : playing lottery for medical and educational needs

Fatawa Question

Salamu Alikum, I 'm a disabled man and I 'm not able to work. I need some complicated surgeries that goverment medical insurance doesn't pay for it. I also want to go back to school and get some degree that may help me get a job in the future. I have never played the lottery before. I 'm wondering if I tried it for few times for small amount of money, Would that be Haram ? I 'm hoping to be able to pay for my medical and educational needs if I won. Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your constant help
