Recent lottery winner owes 29K child support.

Not only that, he has a warrant out for his arrest. He was also buying booze when he got his lottery ticket. Can't pay child support, but can afford booze and lottery tickets.

Studies show millions that buy lottery tickets spend hours in prayer hoping God will let them win. Many are sick, jobless, etc. I've seen winners pronounce God made them win to solve their problems. It should be obvious God has nothing to do with who wins the lottery. The majority of people that do go broke in a few years and end up bankrupt. Yea, if I was God, I would see that whoever won would be the one that would do the most good, but I'm not God.

Couldn't resist

I would bet this story isn't going to have a happy ended. My feeling is he's going to end up being one of those lottery winners who piss it all away.

I can't see a deadbeat dad with arrest warrants out for him being the type of person to hire a financial planner to structure him a portfolio of equities and a ladder of high quality municipal bonds in order to maximize income and reduce tax liability.

At least now he can pay his child support. Question is, will he?

Why? There is a whole branch of Christianity (prosperity theology: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosperity_theology) that argues that God brings financial rewards to those that believe in him. This doctrine seems to work too, at least in as much as it brings financial rewards to those who preach it...

God has something to do with people winning money? That's funny.
Any true Christian knows that God does not involve himself with materialistic things.
People that pray to God for money and wealth and such materialistic wishes are praying to an empty hole.
You don't pray to God for that.
