Pat in North Carolina: “…no one seems to give the Lord his10%.”
Frankly, it’s none of your business what anyone does with their money. If you want to give away fictional money to an imaginary sky daddy’s minions, that’s your choice but don’t presume to say what others should do. Arrogant.

I was so hoping to win the $144 million in last night’s drawing (4/9/09), but someone in DC won it. I had actually sat down and started writing on where I’d spend the money. My list started with 10% of the lump sum awarded to would have gone to my church , then I’d give 5M each to my 2 sons and my ex-husband, with a 2M trust for my 12-year old granddaughter, and also allow for 5M for myself. The remaining money would have gone to buying from my landlord the 3 homes on the property where I live and pay rent ($470/mo), and then i would build a large 5 bdrm home with modest furnishings. I also had on my list my two brothers and their daughters, my ex-husband’s sisters and also listed a number of friends whom I’d give a substantial amount of money.
The only thing I’ve never read in these sad stories is that no one seems to give the Lord his10%. That has always been first in my thoughts whenever I’ve played, and when I’ve won (small amounts $6 or $12, etc, I have always given 10% to the church in addition to my usual tithe.
Thank you.

Strange about the lottery winners. Even if they initially invested their windfall all with a bank ( while they where figuring out what to do with it) they would earn so much interest in a months time the could live lavish lifestyles.

Interest per month on only $5Million is $20 000.00(p/m) at 5% per annum. Does’nt take a genious to figure that out.
Even the dumbest accountant in the world would for about $500.00 dollars share this wisdom if only they would ask.
