+18 @AndromedaFire I would prefer to avoid the big charities and focus on smaller more individual causes. If I set aside say 100k for charity each year I want to actually choose and see the impact of it not just be paying the new marketing exec salary at a big charity. I read a story a while ago about a security guard who found a child crying because the kid lost his parents £10 shopping money and the guard gave the kid £10 himself, I would send the guy somewhere nice for a weekend. Someone posted it was their first day working as a nurse and someone stole their bicycle from outside the hospital I would send them a new one. I’m pretty poor at the moment, drowning in debt but my total debt is less than what many people will carry on a single credit card so I know and understand that small amounts of money can make a massive difference to people’s lives so that’s what I would do lots of small, individual acts of charity. Note to the realism fans here: I’m aware that donating this way sacrifices the tax gains of donating to registered charities but to be honest I don’t care and would rather do it this way anyway.

+11 @zamboniman46 i'd definitely donate a big chunk of money. i'd go up to 30% of my winnings depending on how much i won. i have some things in mind that i'd donate to right away, and i'd probably set up a private foundation with the remainder and get the tax deduction now while i figure out how to donate the rest. preventing homelessness and hunger and providing/improving education are the causes I'd want to donate to the most
