"Before using the money for the church, they will donate the first payment to a charity called Love 146 that works to abolish human trafficking in Southeast Asia, Crabbe said."
Someone Play 146 in Pick 3. Maybe you'll get lucky

How do you know the guy isn't already rich. ... or that the guy hasn't just discovered that he has a terminal illness and isn't likely to live long enough to get much use of it anyway?
... or that the guy knew about the financial problems the church was having and decided to play the lottery specifically to help the church if he won. Some people really do have values outside of their own needs, you know.

What an idiot. If he donated a portion I could understand, but the whole thing?
You can't buy your way into some BS heaven nonsense, even if it were true.
He's not an idiot.....In todays parable, Jesus the Son of God Talks to his Apostles and explains that in the next few days he is to be Betrayed, torcherd, crucified and then put to death. Peter approaches him and says no, in God's name, not you lord, and Jesus turns to Peter and says:
Get thee Behind me Satan...That's how Humans Think and React, thats Not Doing God's Will.......
Point being.......The winnner was not an Idiot, because he was doing God's Will...wether you believe in God or not....He's Still on the Throne.

I don't believe in putting all your eggs in one basket.I would have donated to many different charities and I would defiantly never give money to a church.
But..his money.His wishes.

OH, and you have a monopoly on what the truth is? Just because you believe that fairy tale place exists doesen't make it true.
Stop being a sheeple and think for yourself.

Stop being a sheeple and think for yourself. I would assume that a tax break is not feasable from an anonymous donation. If he were audited they would undoubtedly want some sort of recipt to go with a $3,000,000 donation claim.

WOW! What a nice story. The power of prayer does work. Looks like it was the right time for the power of prayer to work. I pray all the time to win the lottery and I could make good use of it. Like helping the homeless with shelter and food in their bellies, helping abused and homeless animals and many more things to do.
I figure, when it's my time to win, it will happen.
