Is gambling really a vice if you donate your $3 million lottery ticket to a church in need? The growing True North Community Church, which Newsday says was about to hold services in "rented ballrooms and school gyms," received a blessing when an anonymous donor gave them a winning Ba-Da Bling scratch-off ticket's winnings. The Port Jefferson Station church will received $150,000 a year for 20 years. Taxes will be taken out, but since the church is a nonprofit, "the church can file for refund claims for a portion or all of the taxes withheld by the lottery." The church has decided to give the first year of earnings away to charities and its pastor denied being the lottery ticket winner, "I'd give a lot of it to the church, but not all of it. This is a rare, remarkable, generous person."

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.

Very generous, charitable person to do such a thing. The publicity it is garnering will help spread the addiction even further. That picture in my mind of the poor jerk standing outside the lottery vender's storefront scratching off the symbols from a handful of tickets should be the poster. The lottery is just another tax on the poor.
The scratch off tickets are the lottery's biggest scam. They tend to be quite expensive, compared to the other games that are drawn with ping pong balls, for smaller prizes.
I'll only buy a Mega Millions ticket when it is absurdly high just for fun, but that comes out of the candy/cupcake budget. Replace one vice with another.
Just goes to show how religion makes some people stupid.
They're just going to build a mega church and brainwash more people.
Why give all your $3 million to a church? Keep it and enjoy all that internet porn yourself.
"The Port Jefferson Station church will received $150,000 a year for 20 years."
