Would it be better if I donate some of it to charity before I receive the money or after?

Research. Besides, If I won the lottery why would I care if you found the correct advisor?

Unless you already have millions, the charity will get more if you donate AFTER you get the money. They don't really profit much from donations of money people don't actually have!
If you win the lottery, you'll be amazed at how fast financial advisors will find YOU! Your identity will be public knowledge.
If you have not yet won, though, you should bear in mind that the typical lottery ("pick 6", etc) has odds of around 1 in 7 million, and that your odds of being struck by lightning are much, much better, at about 1 in 76,000!

Why pay someone to potentially lose your money. You can invest this money safely and for free. I offer safe investments with good returns. It is a tool insurance companies offer at no charge to you. If you like the market, do so with guarantees that you will not lose a dime. I am not a financial advisor, I am a reputable, trustworthy Insurance AGent that can proudly say that I have never lost a penny for my clients. You can name the charity as a beneficiary if you'd like so that upon your passing you can leave them a lump sum. Then it can be even a larger amount after interest and you can really leave a legacy to the charities of your choice. Let me know if I can get you some free advice.

don't donate before unless you can afford it. look at all the lottery cards that were mis-printed and noone got the money. and as for a financial advisor chances are you will get bombarded with offers by them without ever picking up the phonebook.

You can't donate what you don't have yet.
It would be best to go to a reputable, established financial firm like Dean Witter or Charles Schwab and not to an individual. There are just too many horror stories out there about people who trusted a friend's advice and they lost their money.

If I were to win the lottery, why would you need a financial advisor?
