Does the money that people give to religions just disappear or does it get redistributed amongst the community when the religion pays workers to build churches, mosques and temples etc and when the church leaders buy luxury cars, homes and private jets?
Answer
Honestly, I find less of a problem with that black hole than the one that corporations such as Halliburton fall into. Consider that all American taxpayers have had no choice but to "donate" to that black hole. Don't get me wrong, here. I don't agree with those rich evangelists who are reaping ill gotten rewards from the gullible. I just see a big difference between offering money and having it stolen from you.

Is one expected to give back lottery winnings if it was a charity lottery?

For example, Heart & Stroke Foundation and Princess Margaret Hospital sell lottery tickets for at least $100.00 each. Odds of winning are about 1/3 (luxury cars and homes, lump sums of cash). My question is, if you win the lump sum of money, is it expected that you will donate the money back to the cause?
Not that I've won or even played...I'm just curious what someone would do in that situation.
Answer
When you hand them $100 for the 'lottery', you are giving your donation. Probably $50 of that money is going directly to the charity. They are happy to give out the prizes, and happy for people to enjoy the prizes because they know they will have made money for the charity already.
What if you won one of the cards instead? Would you still wonder, "Maybe should I sell the car and give half the money back to the charity?" Of course not. The lump sums of cash are probably the lowest prizes by the sounds of it. If you get one, enjoy it, and enjoy knowing you still supported a good cause.
