As far as I could tell the Parish Priest used the cash for recreational equipment, keeping the church grounds spruced up, feeding kids in Central America and perhaps a new car.

However, the priest during any one raffle may have raised 50k Obama with this raffle will raise at least 20 million.

Churches are among those institutions that operate within the law. Exceptions have been made for certain lobbied groups.

Newspapers can also include promotional “bingo” cards.

And those who operate legal bingo and lotteries are among those who file complaints against the non-compliant competition.
