A wonderful act of unselfishness, although the comments on the article are disgusting. It would appear the mantra of the left is "give everything away, let the churches rot".

I have seen Camel bucks and various coupons offered before, I assumed they gave what they had. My former pastor would have returned the ticket to the lottery commission, since he preached gamblers were among the most accursed of sinners every since the day they cast lots for the Saviors clothes.

Would the church still have to pay taxs on it ?

I’ve heard of Vegas and Reno churches getting casino chips in their plates, and making weekly trips to the strip to cash them in. Interesting twist on tithing.

If our Lord could tell Peter to catch a fish to pay a tax, and inside he found a gold coin, then certainly a struggling church can rejoice in the provision of a loving God. It would have been neat if the ticket had NOT been scratched off first and the pastor had been the one to discover the value. God has provided for me in many miraculous ways over the years and every time my faith has grown and my confidence in "My God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." (Phil. 4:19)
