I think this guy's interpretation is a bit off
Only in Texas...

A guy wins $25,000 in the lottery, loses the ticket, then gets the ticket returned to him. Quite a story. But I can't help but shake my head at the meaning he ascribes to the whole thing:

"I think God was telling me ... that I need to be dependent on Him and not on lotteries and jobs and anything else."

Jobs? Jobs?!? I can understand not 'playing' the lottery anymore after this. The guy had a lucky break, and doubly so since someone returned the winning ticket to him. But to take all of your eggs out of the 'jobs' basket and put them in the 'God' basket seems like poor planning to me.

Oh, and the entire article is here.
