Several people run into traffic lanes in Southern Calif. to grab loose money

GLENDORA, Calif. - California authorities say a man caused a traffic jam when he threw money onto a Los Angeles-area freeway and people dashed into the lanes to grab the cash.

Highway Patrol Sgt. Kurt Stormes says the man tossed money from his car on Interstate 210 shortly before noon Sunday, the San Gabriel Valley Tribune reported. Stormes says about 10 people ran into traffic lanes to get it.

Police recovered about $1,000.

Police Lt. Steve Hunt says the 56-year-old man told officers he wanted to kill himself and was hospitalized for mental evaluation. His name wasn't released.

Authorities asked anyone who picked up the man's money to turn it in so it can be returned.

Hallelujah! Mich. church wins $70,000 in lotto
No matter divine intervention or just plain luck, church is richer

HASLETT, Mich. - Divine intervention? Or just plain luck? No matter what the circumstances, a Michigan church is $70,000 richer courtesy of the Michigan Lottery.
The Covenant Life Worship Center and its 25 members in Haslett, Mich. had one of the second-prize tickets in the Lucky 7s raffle held May 4.

The $10 ticket was purchased at a convenience store in Haslett, five miles northeast of downtown Lansing. The lottery Web site says the odds of a single ticket winning $70,000 in Lucky 7s are one in 55,556. Michigan Lottery officials say the church will receive the full amount of the prize because it is a tax-exempt group.

Pastor Marilyn Parmelee tells the Lansing State Journal that the prize money will go toward the church building fund, setting up a missionary fund and supporting local community service projects.

Umm, First off, why is the Church gambling? Don't most churches preach about not going to the "Boat" and spending your building fund $$ on the one-arm bandit or some scratch-offs? But I guess if Passa covers the $$ with his/her prayer cloth and get Bro. Franklin perform his Offering Dance , it's all good!!!

I wish our Passa would've let us play the lotto instead of the "Make it Rain for the Lawd" bikini contest/fish fry, Sister Berthaline wouldn't have those 2rd degree grease burns on her booty.
