If I won the lottery, I would give $5,000.00 to each of my chosen charities.And then I would give college funds and trust funds to people in my family. Then I would buy my parents a house.

I would give away half of it to my grandmother. Throughout my childhood she raised me up while my parents were working. We would walk through out the Main Street in my town and every time she would let me pick numbers in the lottery ticket. We never won but it was always her dream.

I would give 28% to those who taught me about God. By that I mean the church. Thus I would fulfill all the old testaments rules about tithing. Then I would give another big portion to Associated Charities in my town because they help a huge number of people and have a very limited budget. And giving to charity is not the same as giving to God. You are entitled to say that I have funny rules.

I would probably give some to my cousin's family because the terrorists beheaded him in Iraq. Nobody in my family is in need.
I would spend a lot on moving away and security issues to get out of being deluged with requests.
I would endow my grandson's education and a little more. Not enough to make him a playboy.
Probably help some medical foundation for the blind since that is my major problem.
And then I would think very hard about what to do next.
I won't win the lottery because the only time I play is when the odds are in my favor and that doesn't happen often.

If i won the lottery say 1 million id give 50 000 away in two 25 000 dinominations. The first id give to Franise House a charity that cares for sick children and the other to The Great Almond Street Hospital for kids

Odds are you will end up giving the same or less as you do now.

I once had a friend that used to justify his extreme baseball addiction with the following statement: "If I could get to be a famous baseball player, I would have a lot of money to help the children" -- The odd part was that he made this remark when I requested his help to go visit some children in need and he was too busy playing baseball to help.

My answer was: if you do nothing now, you will do nothing then. And I was so right.

If you have a dollar and you give away 10 cents to help others in need, surely when you have a million you will do the same and give $100,000. But, chances are if you TODAY say you don't have enough to help others, you will say the same also later, because simply put, we all are full of excuses when the time comes to help others.

So, do yourself a favor... Help others now, and don't wait for the lottery -- that Dollar every week could represent one food plate for someone who needs it TODAY, and not when, and if, you are a millionaire.

If I won a million dollars, I would first of all feel financially free to adopt another child. By doing this, I would better her world immensely, both monetarily and otherwise. I certainly would keep enough to live comfortably but not extravagantly. I have no need for an extravagant lifestyle. I would support an orphanage in Guatemala in order to "give back" to the country from where we adopted my daughter. She is the light of my life, and I would love to see other children thrive as well.

I would donate an easy $100,000 to a homeless shelter in Milwaukee that does a tremendous job training the homeless to work jobs and gain skills. I would buy my parents anything they wanted and reimburse them for my education, which they paid for. Lastly, I would set up a trust fund for my daughter and my two nephews to pay for their education.

I would certainly keep some of the money, but I think it would provide me much greater joy to give it away.

Im a selfish bitch so i wouldnt give any away man

if i won $500'000 i would give 400'000 to my mom because she is special to me

I would give a large amont to improve education.

If i won a loterry i would donate around 25% to some charitable institute which would help feeding the poor or educating poor children...
another 15 % would go to my parents and family and 30% savings and the rest 30% i would just spend away so as to make sure the money stays in flow..the more you give to the right sources the more you recieve

i.e. if I won $1M, first to my church for thanking God for His blessings - 100K. Then set up trust funds for 2 great-nieces & 1 great-nephew - 50K each. 75K for breast cancer research, 50K each to 4 siblings, 25K to our local food kitchen to feed the poor & the balance for my husband & I to see the world.
