Even though the Bible does not directly address gambling, we can derive a number of principles from Scripture.

First, gambling breeds a form of covetousness. The Tenth Commandment admonishes us not to covet. Coveting, greed, and selfishness are the base emotions that entice us to gamble. I believe Christians should be concerned about gambling if for no other reason than the effect it has on the weaker brother and how it will affect the compulsive gambler. State-sponsored gambling makes it harder for the compulsive gambler to reform. Legalized gambling becomes an institutionalized form of greed.
Therefore no tith can be paid from money obtained through breaking one of the 10 commandments!

GunnerME, stop day dreaming! The money will be handed to the guard less maximum income tax (PAYE) at 35%, therefore net income is K650,000,000. This money is earned from ganbling and the guard should not give any tith (10% of net = K65,000,000) as it is unacceptable in the bible.
The winner who has a “rags to riches” situation should invest in properties and take time to ensure he optimises his benefits.
Keep a level headedness at this point to ensure that this money doesn’t lead to diseases like HIV and the eventual pain.
You are a lucky man brotherman.

@Yalmaz. That is religious bigotry. It is used by lazy christians/moslems who say ‘the poor shall be rich in heaven’ For what? & you ‘say that money shall go back to the owners on judgement day!’ To buy what? As Paul would say: ‘O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you?’ Just work hard slagard!

@ Yay go back to school and ask your pre school teacher the difference between a house and a home.how do you advise your friend to buy a home when any house is called a home when there are people living in. What a dull chap?
