Long enough (~7K characters), new enough (created on 5 Dec), QPQ done, no copyvio issues, no policy violations in article, and both the hook and article are cited. The first hook is much more interesting, but could I suggest tweaking it to "that religious ministers who bought time on Washington, D.C.'s WOOK radio hid lottery numbers in references to the Bible." - seems better at catching a reader's interest. An admirable article. Tenpop421 (talk) 00:19, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
