Hmmmmmmmm:

. . . [Bartlett] and his wife, Denise, were on their way to the shop where he occasionally teaches Wicca and Reiki (RAY'kee) healing when they stopped at a liquor store and bought two $5 Mega Millions tickets for Friday night's estimated $330 million jackpot. On Sunday, he said one ticket was a winner. "If it wasn't for this place I wouldn't have won the lottery," Bartlett said Sunday at Mystickal Voyage, the New Age shop. Bartlett, an accountant from Dundalk, said he made a bargain with the multiple gods associated with his Wiccan beliefs: "You let me win the lottery and I'll teach."

    Wicca has nothing to do with Devil worship.

    It's just a joke.

    The last one is especially scary for the last 2 seconds that link it to some nutcases that do happen to recognize a good movie.

    Nice to see their god working in action.  If only the christians who prayed had a more powerful god, they too might have won.  Alas, their god must have been focused on one of the many sporting events across the country that he/she so readily "helps" win.

    Nice story.
