I wonder if they mean tithe literally. Like what's a church in a town of less than ten thousand people going to do with 30 million?

The pastor will no doubt start showing up to services in a Bentley. He will also go on a motivational speaking circuit where he somehow convinces thousands of people that Jesus wants them all to be rich.

I kinda feel like state lotteries have some reasonable level of responsibility to inform the inevitable forklift drivers that win prizes that "people are going to want to murder you now and you should probably lay low." or something to that effect.

Yeah or not force them to put a picture of themselves out there ready to be murdered by everyone who knows them and wants money.

Is there any evidence the home invasion was actually connected to winning the lottery there? I mean its not like you can rob someone's bank account (at last not without marrying them first hue hue hue) so I doubt busting into a lotto winner's house is gonna get you too much more money than any decently well off neighborhood.

Half a million is enough to attract people to give you poo poo, but not enough to lay low or really avoid the bullshit.

I'm not sure how true this story is, but I've heard talk of in our area several years ago there was a murder that happened because of some guy whose mom died. He told some people he worked with that when she died that she'd left him a bunch of money and they came over to his house and beat the poo poo out of him looking for the money and when they couldn't find it they forced him to write checks for cash, and then killed him. I think there was a kidnapping case a few years ago where someone forced a kidnapped person to give them their ATM card and PIN and then went around trying to get as much as they could from ATMs for the next few days. At the worst, a recent lotto winner might have a lot of new impulse buy items that you can take that are valuable.

I talked to some people that go to church with the TN powerball winners. They said they quit going to church and turned into recluses within a week because of harassment and lawsuits within a week or two. Not sure if the are going to get a basketball court to compete with the other main church in town.

Just want to point out that there were as many powerball winners lats month as there were spree shooters last year, so if u think we should base r firearm rights on shooters, u probably think we should base r economic policy on winning powerball.  <-share this w/ ur conservative uncle

The couple who won the Chino Hills ticket just came forward and claimed their prize. They live a few blocks away from me. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-chino-hills-powerball-winner-steps-forward-20160719-snap-story.html Seems they did everything right. Got a lawyer, waited until the news calmed down and already moved out and dropped off the grid before they claimed their ticket.

I oscillate between 'buying a lotto ticket can be some cheap entertainment/thrill' and 'the lotto is a tax on people who don't understand math' depending on my mood but in the end i think it just comes down to 'I'm trying to get this red bull before work and you're loving buying lotto tickets and scratchers for 10 minutes at the counter at 7:40am like a goddamn junkie' so imo gently caress the lotto

The lottery in my state helps students pay for college, but inflation adjusted the difference between the scholarship amount and total tuition is almost the same as the pre-lottery tuition.

My great uncle played a prank on my grandfather once, about 40 years ago. The lottery had gotten up to a few tens of millions and they and their wives threw in for about 50 tickets each on a whim. They went out the night of the drawing and didn't make it back til late. The next morning, my great uncle woke up before my grandfather, grabbed a newspaper to check the winner, and went to the local gas station to buy a ticket with the winning numbers. Then he mixed that ticket in with the ones they had bought the day before. After everyone woke up and was working their way through the tickets, my grandfather found the one with the matching numbers. My great uncle (who, each time he tells this story, exaggerates the difficulty he had in keeping a straight face a little bit more) holds off for a bit to allow him and the two ladies to celebrate, going through the list of things they'll do with the money, singing songs and drinking whiskey with them as the "win" sunk in. After about a half hour, my uncle tells them to take a look at the date on the ticket. He says that the only other time my grandfather had that particular expression on his face was on the day of their mother's death. My grandfather chased him out of the house with a gun and didn't talk to him for about a month. I like to think this happens a few hundred times across the country every lottery cycle
