WEST VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES, December 26, 2002: Andrew Jackson “Jack” Whittaker J., a contractor in West Virginia, won the US$113.4 million Powerball payout from the Multi-State Lottery Association on Thursday. Mr. Whittaker said to interviewers that work, family and God have long been the three most important things in his life, and he said the winnings won’t change that. Mr. Whittaker, who has tithed for many years, is going to give $17 million, or 10 percent of his gross lottery winnings, to three Church of God pastors to create a fund to help the poor. “I truly believe this is an opportunity for me to give testimony about tithing and spreading wealth.” Tithing is also an ancient Hindu practice.
