Man Donates $3M Lottery Ticket to ChurchWhat would you do with a $3 million lottery ticket?
The Associated Press reports that Pastor Bertrand Crabbe of the True North Community Church of Port Jefferson, N.Y., received an unexpected gift last week when a church member donated the ticket to the church, saying, "This was why God put the ticket in his hands."
The man wishes to remain anonymous.
The independent Christian church will receive more than $102,000 a year through 2028, according to the state lottery.
The ticket was bought July 19. The same day, Crabbe said, the man with the ticket "called me, invited me to his home, told me he had won and his intentions. He said he wanted to bless the church."
Crabbe said the first year's money will go towards charities that fight human trafficking.
