Makes you wonder if a church is against gambling (sin), then why would they accept proceeds from gambling?

You people are acting like people and lawyers are just that dumb.

They probably already went to the lottery and validated the ticket and are just going to come and pick up the money later today.
The lottery does let you keep the ticket after they validate it, so they probably already cashed in which is more then likely the case. They just have to pick up the check

Between this post and your other post before this one, you are "sure" of a lot..."I'm sure...I'm sure..." Really, how are you "sure"?

Anyway, the reason I am posting is because you made this statement above:
"They can lose the ticket and still collect" in this post." Say, what???
(I am surprised no one else called you out on this, so please, allow me.)

NO, YOU CANNOT CLAIM A PRIZE IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE TICKET!!! Store video is NOT proof. A copy of the ticket is NOT proof. Simply being in contact with the lottery office is NOT proof unless you have the winning ticket. Imagine that; the winning ticket is proof, and that's AFTER they validate it to make sure it is not a counterfeit ticket.

ok, anyway, let's consider this PB jackpot as case closed and move on finally.
Good luck to all the winners; hope there wont be office-pool lawsuits, divorces, dead grandkids, or blonde "financial advisors" who kill lottery winners.

I wont be playing anymore Billion jackpots, am sticking with Keno and casinos for now.

Keno has some of the worst gambling odds of all.

Key was also convinced you can just call the local lottery office and buy all the combinations, assuring a jackpot win!

It's far from over. In fact it's just starting. The Tennessee winners are right now heading off to work where they think things will be business as usual. I doubt there's a single news crew in town this morning.
