I have pondered this question for some time now,before I was saved I played the lottery quite often,I will admit,I still pick up a few tickets from time to time.I had a set of numbers I turned in each week and I never won anything so I did quick pick and did a little better,low and behold those numbers came up a few months after I quit turning my own numbers in,it was for 3 million,but at the time we were going to Reno&Las Vegas pretty regularly and I was used to playing and loosing (and winning) quite a bit.After becoming Born Again Christians,we very rarely went to casinos (maybe to the buffet),but like I said,I do pick up a ticket now and then.Because I am excellent with money matters and can get the most out of a buck,it was easy for me to accept the treasurer job at our church,so in discussing this very topic with my Pastor,he said he would accept the money.Our church is really struggling and we need a lot of repairs and such,also we have another church not far away of our same denomination that is worse off then us.Even if I tithed the minimum of 10% of a standard one million dollar lottery,it would help both churches so much,problem being,what would the LORD think of my actions? I do know HE is capable of granting anything to anybody,just if this falls into that category,I don’t know.
