Sure. Money is money. The beast is the beast.
You're comparing apples and oranges.

No....as a Christian I don't play games of chance...and do not believe any one that calls themselves by His name should.
On another note; before we sold our businesses if a customers total came up to '666' i would drop the last 6 to 5. No one ever complained about it. :) Why did I do that? The 666 cannot harm me in any way - I just didn't like it.

The lottery has been legalized in our state for 30 years, have never bought a ticket yet, never will, so won't have to make that decision.
One person I know went to a casino to win money for the poor. Every pull they won--left with several hundred dollars.
They used the money in Mexico, but the gambler had a dream showing Satan was laying a trap for them--they never went back.
Heaven is not Las Vegas, and Satan has many delusions to entrap you and cost you your eternity. No, I do not pay my tithes into his coffer.
Blessings, Balaam

Sure I would, and by the time state taxes are taken out it wouldn't probably be $666.

Well, I don't play the lottery, but if someone handed me a free, winning ticket for that much, of course I'd take it. Why not? Besides, after tything and taxing, the amount would be significantly different. ;)

As a Christian I don't gamble or buy lottery, if God wants me to have the money He will get it to me another way.

I thought they aren't supposed to play the lottery in the first place?

Yes. But that is highly improbable. Considering 1) how often has that happened? and 2) I would never waste my money on something so silly. But yes. It's probably not a curse.

well, this is for Christians so I wouldn't bother answering but will leave my opinion. We Muslims also believe in the second-coming of Jesus and believe he will defeat the decieving messiah(anti-christ). But we don't beleive in this numerology attribution to the anti-Christ.

Christians shouldn't be gambling in the first place

Of course. But I'd prefer it to be $666,666. The more 6's the merrier.
