$3,000,000 winning Lotto ticket donated to local church.

Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Properties

I was talking to a buddy of mine today. He is a pastor in Long Island, NY. He used to be the youth pastor at my old church, a few years ago he planted a church nearby. He tells me that someone in his congregation hit lotto, then get this, called him up and donated ALL the winnings to the church he Pastors! $3,000,000 that equals $150,000 per year for the next 20 years. The irony of this is most people say that if they hit the lottery, then they will be more generous. I disagree, I think people already have the generosity beforehand. If they had donated 10%, that would be $300,000. Quite a large contribution. I am blown away at the fact that they are donating every cent. They donated the winning ticket. There is a press conference on Wednesday, I will post a blog with my buddy and the cardboard check. Has anyone else ever heard of such generosity?

That is a most incredible donation.  I am hoping they are financially set and their children's education is already paid for.

Sal, that's pretty unbelievable. I wonder if these folks already have money or if they're just plain old generous souls. Great story either way.
