TAMPA, Fla. — An American Family Publishers sweepstakes notice arrived at the Bushnell Assembly of God announcing that God, of Bushnell, Fla., was a finalist for the $11-million top prize.
“God, we’ve been searching for you,” American Family wrote in the letter earlier this month, as first reported by the Sumter County Times.
If God were to win, the letter stated, “What an incredible fortune there would be for God!”
“I always thought He lived here, but I didn’t actually know,” said Bill Brack, pastor of the church about 60 miles north of Tampa.
Sweepstakes officials did not return several telephone calls for comment Thursday.
