gabelpa Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 God can do what He wants. We don't know the laws that He may be bound by. All we know is what He has told us to do. Heck, even that is a matter of some debate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Curmudgeon Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Lots of Old Testament evidence that JWYW used to work through lotteries. Cf Josephus and the strange lottery at Jotapata. Some opinion holds that the Urium and Thummin are some sort of lottery device (check out 1st Samuel). And what about the dreidel, traditional for Hanukkah? What that says about the Pick-Six and scratchers, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mormonatalie Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Mormon wealth, though impossible to calculate, is apparent to anyone who studies Salt Lake City commercially. The Church owns The Deseret News, two hotels, two office buildings, the Beneficial Life Insurance Co., and Zion's Cooperative Mercantile Institution (first U. S. department store, 1868). Through the Utah-Idaho Sugar Co., the Church owns 24,539 acres of farm lands and operates numerous beet sugar factories in Utah, Idaho, Washington, Montana, South Dakota. Board chairman of this company is Heber Jedediah Grant, now President of the Mormon Church. But though net current assets are listed at $3,466,860, worldwide oversupply of sugar following upon Wartime excess production has gravely injured this industry, and President Grant says the Church would gladly quit the business, if possible, at a 50% loss. But if it be true that the Mormon Tabernacle rests, among other things, on sugar beets, it is likewise true that the Church's beet-backing has been primarily for the benefit of the farmer. And the Church is not likely to forsake him in his lean years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgama Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 my Dad worked for the football pools when £2million was a really big prize - it ruined far more lives than it helped, especially in the case of someone going from very poor. In the long run this maybe no blessing -Charley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemidakota Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Are you sure the Lord won't use the Lottery to bless some peoples lives?...Conn. man's last lotto ticket wins $10M for widow - Yahoo! NewsIf a winning can use the money to bless other lives, then he/she will be rewarded for doing so. Can you imagine if a Saint won a 380 million dollar lottery and sends a tithing check for remaining lump sum amount to the ward's Bishop?
