option 4 and 5 make no sense. Anyone is entitled to purchase a lotto ticket. And why would his winning be given to programs for rape victims? why? thats his choice. Even though morally he doesn't deserve to win. Legally, why not?

Because of the initial conditions of trying to claim a sum for what happened, i don't think its outragrous to try to claim some of his money, although legally i couldn't picture her having much luck.

He's still on parole, and is therefore still serving his sentence.
This isn't a legally binding decision here, but a poll with only 3 options isn't much fun.

Neither are you.

Explain again how corruption and "religious bullshit" have anything to do with this case?

What do morales have to do w/ the lottery? good and "bad" ppl are both as entitled to win.

It doesn't matter how great or how much of a supreme disgrace you are to humanity in order to be deserving to win.

exactly.

And since when are people forever condemned for mistakes they made in the past. (not defending the rapist, just pointing out that without knowing all the details, people should not pass judgement).
