The intersection of porn, church, and lotteries


Okay -- this one is nowhere near State College.  But it is from Detroit, not far from Ann Arbor, where we used to live.  And the story was in today's Centre Daily Times. . . .

Ticket bought at Michigan porn shop worth $129M

L A group of friends and family is obscenely rich after winning a nearly $129 million jackpot with a lottery ticket bought at a Detroit-area porn shop. And some of the money will be devoted to sacred purposes.
Mike Greer, a member of the group, came forward Friday to claim the Powerball winnings on behalf of the others, who chose to remain anonymous. Greer - who said only that the group has more than two members and fewer than 100 - indicated some of the riches will be going to a church. 
"The only thing I can assume is that the Lord trusted us to do certain things with the money that He bestowed upon us," he said. "That's the only thing that I can gather."

Um, yeah.  And did the lord pick the winning numbers himself?
