I don't think it makes them good either.

I think it proves they were already good.

God bless 'em.

Hey Konane we both have somebody in common that we know! It is Tammy Stillwater! She does work for me and it was by surprise that I told her that I was apart of the lottery post and she informed me of you. Are you still posting numbers

Up here in Canada we like Edith and Archie. We even like the Meathead.

And you know full well Ridge, that Archie only pretended to be mean to Edith.

Yeah, only the libs bow down and grovel around on the floor and stuff but that old queen of yours kinda reminds me of Edith Bunker, Archie's wife.

If she ever told me to bow down I'd tell her to stifle herself.

Are you saying you prefer to bow down to your president instead of to Her Majesty, Her Royal Highness, a lady of class and culture? You've got to be kidding!

And your Uncle is still greedy. I think you're just a tad jealous that your winnings are taxed.

We don't bow down to no dam Queen.

Reminds me of a song:

In 1814 we took a little trip

Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.

We took a little bacon and we took a little beans

And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.

[Chorus:]

We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin.

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.

We fired once more and they began to runnin'

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.... [ More ]

Your Uncle is greedy. Lottery winnings should be tax free like they are up here in Canada and the UK.

Yes, God bless them. But giving money to the church doesn't make this particular donor, or any other donor, good.

I, too, wonder if lottery winnings claimed by an IRS registered, exempt church get Federal and State taxes waved. And if no taxes ... is their an annual limit

I still wonder who pays the taxes.

If the church goes the tax exempt route (can they?) Uncle would smdell a rat and think that the winners were running the money through the church to duck the taxes.

Think about it.

If the winners pay the taxes are they paying the tax on the winnings and not getting a dime (except as a write off for a charitable donation

Three winning lottery tickets donated to church

Lottery Post — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 12:33:22 GMT

Unity North Atlanta Church on Sandy Plains Road in Northeast Cobb, Georgia, received an unusual gift last week from a generous churchgoer: winning lottery tickets.

The church member, who wishes to remain anonymous, donated three Georgia Lottery tickets totaling more than $4,000 to the northeast Cobb institution.

Staff claimed the prize on behalf of the church Aug. 1.

The Rev. Richard Burdick said the money would go toward the church's mortgage and monthly bills.
