Three weeks after a Georgia church was burglarized, an anonymous donor stepped in to help with a winning $80,000 lottery ticket the Associated Press reports.
The Cathedral of Prayer in Columbus, Georgia had been without air conditioning for nearly a month after a robber stripped the wires. The house of worship can now afford to repair the damage since an unnamed benefactor dropped off a winning lottery ticket in the collection plate.
“God said ‘a blessing is a blessing’,” Alonzo Riggins, the church’s security director told the newswire. “No one at the church plays the lottery, so it had to be from someone from the outside.”
“The money is going towards the church and we have to supply the food for the neighborhood, the clothing, everything costs and we give this stuff away free,” Riggins said. The church is run by the Cathedral of Prayer Inc, a non-profit organization.
Part of the amount is also said to go toward fixing the air conditioning unit. The church said it has gotten lottery tickets before, but this is the biggest single donation it’s ever received.
