The gospel musician shared that a lottery winner is responsible for constructing a church he recently performed at. He said that he has never played the lottery but will not hesitate to do so if he dreams about it or gets some lottery numbers from somebody.

He said:

"Christians want to forcefully take out lottery and sports betting from the religious faith. A lottery winner built the church I recently performed in. Why aren't we honest with Christians? I have never played the lottery, but I will play if I dream about it or an expert gives me lottery numbers to stake."

Broda Sammy, who recently accused Ohemaa Mercy of lying about her divorce, said that it is not a sin for an individual to play the lottery or engage in sports betting.
