$4,069 in keno tickets donated to church

ATLANTA, Aug. 9 (UPI) -- A Georgia church is thanking the anonymous donor who dropped three winning keno tickets, worth a total $4,069, into a collection plate.

The Unity North Atlanta Church in Marietta said the Georgia Lottery Keno tickets were dropped into the collection plate during a recent Sunday service, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Tuesday.

"This is a first for us," church office manager Wendy Beck said.

Beck said church officials plan to put the funds toward the facility's mortgage and monthly bills.

Lottery officials said two of the tickets were purchased from a Quick Trip on North Cobb Parkway and the other was purchased from a Chevron Food Mart on Sandy Plains Road.
