Is this a sin?

You are correct, there is not. I probably would never call out the lotto while preaching unless I was certain it was God. I try to teach principles in scriptures which people can take and with the leading of the Holy Ghost make personal decisions. Although, I do openly express my feelings against gambling, I am still clear about the lack of scriptural support to just call it a sin.
