It is so hard not to get caught up in the trials and tribulations of life. Thanks for allowing us to stop and realize that God is more importan than money,

I don’t think I would want to buy a ticket and when a bunch of money because I would just squander it all away and have nothing to show for….

In Canada, compared to the U.S., the Lotto 6/49 is $30 million! ?. The Lotto Max is a mere $60 million! ???. I’m not a regular lotto purchaser, but lately, I’ve bought a ticket. My thought is, why do we have so many homeless people in a rich country like Canada? A few million dollars would help build homes for them. Lately, the news media have been reporting that the food banks don’t have enough, not even for the veterans! As we approach Christmas, Food Banks, homeless shelters will be begging for more funds. Money is not always ‘the root of all evil’, it depends on what you do with it.

Good luck if you bought a ticket … if you win, spread it around to those most in need, A few winners in Canada have done just that.

God bless ???

Here in the UK there are worrying rates of heart attacks, cancer diagnoses, divorces, bankruptcy and other life misfortunes amongst lottery winners.
