The above affirms to the fact that many, are into what they do, not because they love it, or because its their calling, but because of the money they get to make from it, just imagine how many years this pastor have deceived his church members into believing he was genuinely called by God to serve as a pastor..

Imagine the donations that he received which ended up being betted in gambling establishments. This kind of example truly increases the stigma around gambling companies where people would definitely do anything for the sake of gambling. This is just too painful to read especially by the community.

Now my question is, As a business or as a career person who is also into gambling/betting, would you quit your current business or career if you won the same amount of money from gambling/betting?
Be sincere and state your reasons for your decision..

Personally, $140,000 is a relatively low amount of money for me to quit my job completely. This kind of money is not those typical jackpots where you could enjoy resting and travelling for the rest of your life. $140,000 may be relatively higher in Uganda but this cannot give me a retirement life where it would give me a comfortable life to live in the next 60-70 years.
