"Wiccan Teacher Wins Lottery Jackpot
Tuesday September 4, 2007 7:31 PM
BALTIMORE (AP) - The Maryland Lottery on Tuesday validated a winning Mega Millions ticket purchased by an accountant who teaches the Wiccan religion.
Elwood ``Bunky'' Bartlett said he will take a lump sum cash payment. His quarter share of Friday's Mega Millions jackpot amounts to about $48.6 million, or $32.6 million after taxes. He took the cash option because he can invest the money better than anyone else, Bartlett said after a meeting with lottery officials at the agency's headquarters in Baltimore.
Bartlett, 40, of Dundalk, said his win will allow him to devote his time to teaching people about Wicca, a nature-based religion. He said he also wants to buy a big house with a pool, but he doesn't plan to stop eating at McDonald's or buying his clothes at Wal-Mart. "
This has to drive the Evangelicals absolutely bonkers. An evil witch was more worthy that all of the devout Christians that bought lottery tickets. (evil laugh)Moouuuhhahahahahahah!(/evil laugh)
