    Default Lottery Winner Decides to Do Something to Honor Late Wife

    I can definitely relate with why he did this.
    Goes to show you a mass awakening perhaps really is happening.

    hey and he is a Canadian







    A Canadian man who just won $40 million in the Lotto Max jackpot knows exactly what he wants to do with his newfound wealth: he is giving it all away to charity.

    Tom Crist, who is retired, told Canadian news station CTV that he planned to give away all the prize money to different charities and organizations he chooses.

    He lost his wife recently to lung cancer, so cancer research organizations and the hospital where she was treated are high at the top of his list.

    So, why did he even bother buying a ticket if he was just going to give the money away?Are we supposed to admire him for it? Giving to the same organizations that thrive on keeping all diseases going wasn't such a great move. I know, his money; he can do whatever he wants with it.
    It would have been more impressive had he used it to go after Big Pharma for the criminals they are. They design and create poisons that cure absolutely nothing; and ensures people have to stay on them for the rest of their lives. Hospitals are no better. You know, job security and all that....
    There ARE cures for cancer and yet this man's unfortunate wife wasn't privy to it any of it. When he finds this out, he'll probably be angry. He might even have wished he put his fortune to better use.
    I'm sorry if I don't feel moved by this man's so called generous actions. It just doesn't ring true to me...Just saying....

    Alex Jones just now talked about this on his radio show. Said the guy who won the lottery is already a self-made millionaire - didn't discuss the company he founded.

    Agreed, fully. You are spot on Maia!

    I wonder also.. if that Chevron, on his cap... has anything to do with his thinking???

    On my thread and others, I continually talk about being able to reason, for oneself. I hear everywhere on this forum about subliminal messaging by the Elite, to sway our thinking. This one to me, is like big oil saying: "Give all your money to charity, because We own all of them anyway." You think they are not? All Charities must work under rules and regulations. "Who", do you think makes those regulations? hmm

    Is the lottery even real? I hate to sound so negative, but I really do think that it is manipulated by the PTB if not completely controlled by them to induce false hope into the population. I'm sure they stage some of the winners to make it look like people actually win it, but the money from the bought tickets probably goes into further construction of their underground bases.

    From Orwell's 1984:
    Quote 1984, Chapter 8

    ...They were talking about the Lottery. Winston looked back when he had gone thirty metres. They were still arguing, with vivid, passionate faces. The Lottery, with its weekly pay-out of enormous prizes, was the one public event to which the proles paid serious attention. It was probable that there were some millions of proles for whom the Lottery was the principal if not the only reason for remaining alive. It was their delight, their folly, their anodyne, their intellectual stimulant. Where the Lottery was concerned, even people who could barely read and write seemed capable of intricate calculations and staggering feats of memory. There was a whole tribe of men who made a living simply by selling systems, forecasts, and lucky amulets. Winston had nothing to do with the running of the Lottery, which was managed by the Ministry of Plenty, but he was aware (indeed everyone in the party was aware) that the prizes were largely imaginary. Only small sums were actually paid out, the winners of the big prizes being non-existent persons. In the absence of any real inter-communication between one part of Oceania and another, this was not difficult to arrange....

    Y'all can be negative if you want. I applaud the guy and don't wish to judge him otherwise. I'm imperfect, he's imperfect, sorry but all of you are as well. I might have done something different - like giving cash to a few thousand homeless folks. Folks would be on my case about that too. I say look in the mirror, not at the other guy whose shoes we haven't stepped in.

    Thank you so much for expressing your thoughts.

    From my point of view and observation, some of these folks have become so entrenched in their misery and negativity that it has become a pathological reality for them to dwell in.

    Their best moments appear to be found only when they find others to commiserate and identity with them.

    The irony is that I am seeing the reflection of part of me in them

    Why's this millionaire buying a ticket anyway? And you can't tell me he hasn't got other uses for the winnings, even if it's to support the business he created....What millionaire would give up so much money? Nah....
    Nice gesture, but sounds phony to me.
