PORT JEFFERSON, N.Y. - A New York pastor says one of his congregants donated a winning lottery ticket worth $3 million to his church.

Pastor Bertrand Crabbe of the True North Community Church in Port Jefferson says the donor, who asked to remain anonymous, donated the "Ba Da Bling" scratch-off ticket immediately after realizing he won.

Crabb says the donor said: "This was why God put the ticket in his hands."

A state Lottery official says the independent Christian church will get a little over $100,000 a year through 2028.

The amount could be higher if withheld taxes are refunded because of the church's nonprofit status.

Crabb says the 650-member church will give the first year's proceeds to other charities.

PATCHOGUE, N.Y. - A New York charity says it has turned down a share of a $3 million lottery jackpot because accepting the money could send the wrong message to gambling addicts.

The Lighthouse Mission, which helps feed 3,000 hungry Long Island residents a week, had been chosen to share an anonymous donor's jackpot last month. The donor gave the winning ticket to the True North Community Church, which said it would share the money with other charities.

The mission's pastor, James Ryan, says he appreciates the offer but had to turn it down because his organization counsels against addictions, including gambling. He did not say what the mission's share of the prize would have been.

Which will then turn around and give it to other charities, who will turn around and give it to still other charities...and so on into infinity. Brilliant!

On a side note atrocities are occurring somewhere in the World at any given second, but it's good to know that God's busy rigging the New York State Lottery.

A big hurray for GOD...Praise the Lord
