Back in approx. 1973 they held the lottery differently than they do now. If you had a winning ticket, you would enter it in to a drawing for a milllion dollars. Back then it was worth more than it is now. My dad purchased one of these tickets. He didn't tell any of us kids. My mom was passed and he was out of work. The winners were supposed to be televised as they spun a giant wheel and whoever it landed on won the million. My father, after he stopped drinking, became a Pat Robertson fan. He said that Pat R. said one day that someone was going to give him a million dollars. My dad MAILED the ticket with a note. It said, to the effect that he was out of work and he had received word from God that he had to give the ticket to Pat Robertson Still, I feel he just didn't want to go on TV. CBN didn't win the million. When I was going to write about it; I still have his note and the newspaper article about it; CBN would not acknowledge that it ever happened.
