For those who don't speak German, here's a translation:
You sit each Saturday evening before the TV
The bottle of sparkling wine by your side has been there for years
You don't pay the rent any more
Because you'll surely soon be a millionare
Each second is a torment
You need just one more matching number
Every Friday evening you buy your lottery ticket
Scrupulously marking exactly your numbers
You hope longingly that this week it'll happen
You gladly pay your 3 marks 70
Because tomorrow it'll buy you a house
You play the lottery, not because you like it
You play the lottery because you need the money
You need 6 correct numbers
Then you'll buy a little house in Kiel
The seconds are a torment to you
You need just one more matching number
The number it comes oh pain, oh horror!
Five numbers and that's it
This week, it did not happen
But the next one will pay out
You don't play the lottery because you like it
You play the lottery because you need the money
Pretty depressing stuff, to be honest, even if it is a humourous way of looking at it...
