Congrats to Kevin....now, go back to West Virginia and spend your winnings. Ohio obviously doesn't want you to spend that money here....since it's evil.
Be sure to give to charities in West Virginia. Ohio has made it clear that they don't want support.
Heck, if I were you, I might just sell my house and move to West Virginia. At least you can live your own life without being under the thumb of Ohio's Bible-thumpers.

OK.
Let's see - what left-wing moonbats believe all Christians are as "bad" as MoveOn tells them they are? Oh, yeah, you.

Woah...no one ever said that all Christians are bad. I'm Christian myself, actually.
However, there are right-wing extremist Christians who think anyone exercising free will is committing a sin, and who impose their will on others. These people run rampant in Ohio, and as a result, we're living in a state where no one can make his/her own choices about gambling, smoking, spending, hobbies, etc... anymore. The right-wing extremists who believe that Ohio is for Christians and Senior Citizens alone, to relax in total silence without any temptation, are those that are stopping business in Ohio and driving the young away.
I never said Christians as a whole are bad. I said that Bible-thumpers obviously wouldn't want Ohio to benefit from this man's lucky winnings. They don't appreciate 'his kind' or his entertainment in this state, they shouldn't reap any benefit from his winnings.
I guarantee you, though...if the winner is a church-going man, they'll be the first to try to put their hands in his pockets.
