my theory is, if you don't give charity now, what makes you think you'll give it when you have lots of money. it's not about having it, it's about sacrificing what we have.....

YES!
What's the point of having money if you can't do anything good with it? Sure buying yourself some nice stuff is great too, but there is no reason not to share.
Besides, chances are, if you were to think back... I'll bet there were people in your life who helped you with money here and there. Friends at Burger King? Whatever. I bet you liked that burger!
Give some back to someone else who needs- though with the lottery- it could be more than a burger.

I only fantasize about winning a lotto just so I could do something good with the money.
All the poverty and starvation that we see, depresses the cr*p out of me. I'd love to alleviate that depression by doing something truly worthwhile and making the world a slightly better place for people who need assistance.
Of course it would be better if the world powers did that job so I could go and buy a paradise island for myself and my family etc. and live off shellfish and mangoes - but that's just a sick perverse fantasy aint it !

I would give a lot of money to Childrens Hospitals but other than that- nope.
I think people need to stop supporting aids and diabetes etc. If you stop giving money the government will suddenly have a cure! they refuse to give out the cure because they make too much money off "research" for that stuff.....

Absolutely. There are many deserving charities that need money and if I won some....I would want to share.

I would give 10% to the center in this city that houses abused women and their children.

Yes...I definitely would. A certain percentage or amount. God has blessed you with winning, so it's in your best interest to give back. :) Only right.
