HURRICANE, West Virginia (CNN) -- Andrew "Jack" Whittaker, a 55-year-old grandfather and owner of several construction companies will take home $111.7 million in cash for winning Wednesday night's Powerball lottery drawing.

Whittaker is already a self-made millionaire. His construction companies generate $17 million a year in revenue, he said.

Why does some $17 mil farmer from WV get the ticket, while some poor family doest? Its not like he needs the money....cmon, $17 mil a year?!??! I dunno, I mean its great hes putting some of it to a church, but still....

He should start his own militia and start up a revolution which would lead to a good ol' military coup. I think America is due for another regime change.

It should be against the law for people that wealthy to play the lottery. what the hell does he need it for? What is he going to do with it? OK, he gave some money to his church, that's good. I wonder how many youth programs or charities will see the rest? oOo:

Uh, guys......money donated to churches are used for charity purposes. Its a lot easier for someone to dump 10% off at a church and let them decide who gets it, rather than singuling out charities himself. Then he looks like hes favoring Jerrys kids over PETA's problems. Get up off your DUFF and actually go to a church and talk to them about where donations go. You'd be surprised. Yes, some of the money pays for cleaning the church, buying newer pues(sp?) and putting in more parking. However its a minority.


Get tired of people who read the word "church" or "god" and immediately turn in to that rebellious kid who acts like god spit in his face or something. I tell ya, I dont believe in a lot of things, but I dont get honestly pissed off when someone speaks about them . You people that generate emotions about this are just those who know the truth and are being rebellious eek:


Hooah!
