I totally agree with meghan on this one... God plays NO part in the lottery and who wins it. Unfortunate things happen like that EVERYDAY. So why does it happen? like meghan said, i also believe in karma... we don't know what is going to happen to this man after he gets the money, maybe he'll get hit by a car and one of his family members will give it to charity. I do believe that certain events are controlled by God, but if god did control the lottery.... a lot of people would win the game from all the praying.
