For charity we already know we would give to Make-a-Wish and St. Jude's.
St. Jude's is one of my favorites. I would definitely donate to them. I've only heard good things about Make-a-Wish but I don't know anything beyond the stuff you hear occasionally in the media.

Make-a-Wish can't be bad. They have terminal patients and grant them one doable wish before they die.

just heard on the news it's up to 540 million. biggest jackpot ever. it comes to about 10-12 million a year for 30 years after taxes. when i win it, i'll have a cake made, in the shape of a toilet. white chocolate seat and lid, lower part a nice 4 layer white cake shaped like the bowl. in the middle of where the bowl is would be a deuce shaped piece of dark mousse, with I QUIT spelled out in peanuts on it. i'd take it to work and put it on my manager's desk.

It's estimated over $500 million.
Soooo, $290 million in lump sum.
Take $200 million off the top, and if you make the right investments, you should be able live off the $12 million interest per year, reinvesting that $12 million to make your money grow, and paying property taxes, etc.
With the remaining $90 million, I'd allocate $20 million to friends and family. ($1 million a piece, tops, f those bitches)
$10 million for the house I have my eye on.
$20 million for various other houses: Flagstaff, Alaska, Hawaii, London.
$30 million allocated in trusts for my boys, nephews, etc.
$5 million for the underground "End of Days" bunker in my Flagstaff home, that includes weapons, gasoline, bunker, food, water, geo-thermal heating/cooling, solar energy, backup-generators, etc.
That will leave $25 million for various employees (cooks, maids, golf instructors, personal trainers, hookers), trips to England, Scotland, Greece, Cyprus, assorted toys, misc golf trips all over the world....etc.
I haven't really thought about it much.

Not me because I wouldn't be dumb enough to take the lump sum.

Honestly, I'd be pretty happy with 2nd place ($250k). More than enough scratch to pay off what little debt I have, vacation/play money, and house purchase. Plus, far less people at my door whining for money.

If you take the annuity instead of a lump sum, you're insane.
If it's above $540 million, that's a lump sum over $320 million. If you only invest $200 million of that, leaving $120 million to play with, you'll make $12 million+ a year in interest alone.

Make sure my kids are taken care of, our retirement taken care of, and that my parents have everything they need in their old age, then give the rest away.
I have everything I need.
