True fundamentalists, should not play the lottery as gambling is a sin if you read the Bible literally.
Personally, I would give none to the church...but, give a large portion to various charities that are better stewards of the money than churches.

I will never win the lottery as I do not play it,if I had money 20%
to the Church,and about 50% directly to the homeless,to the
hungry,to those in deep despair.I saw a commercial today
about a furniture company trying to house the homeless.It
stated that in Worcester, mass.alone where I reside 300
mothers and child are homeless because shelters are too full.
that is only one small city.

I would first take care of all my debts and find me some land and build a home and help my family and then give alot to my church. Of course this all depends on how much I won. But I dont play lottery.

It would depend on the amount won, but I'd say that I'd likely try to give at least 10 - 20% to charity, with my church getting at least half that.

I would tithe my 10%...as for the rest it depends on how much I won. I cannot give you a number unless I know how much we are talking about. But the 10% is a given. God bless you.

since I run and pastor the church Im sure I would give more than most of the money to outreaches not to My church because God provides for this church not man

I wouldn't because the "saints" would take my money and kick me out for gambling.
Instead, I'd give it to God's cause, because that is what I do anyway--I live my life for Him, every waking moment is spent in communion or service with Him.
And that is the only mechanism of getting into heaven--"Christ in you, the hope of Glory" because "the Kingdom of God is within you.
Blessings, One-Way

Well the Synagogue that I attend when I am visiting my parents really needs to expand.
So I would definitely give them a million or so. Not to mention other organizations I can think of.

I don't attend church, so after I removed all of my clothes and rolled around and played in the cash for hours and hours laughing and singing, I'd probably make some healthy donations to local and global charities.
Not necessarily clothed, but the donations would be given nonetheless.
