If I win the lottery, I would give it ALL to charity.

no way would i do that.

id keep it for myself, and put it in a bank or multiple banks, let it accrue interest and spend just the interest every year. (mega millions, the 300 million range).

and of course id spend 50 million right off the bat on a few things for my current house, but i would not move.

I'd invest and give a percentage of the gains to charity.

A large chunk of it would go to orphanages and organizations that help widows/battered wives. But there would be a lot left over for me, family, and friends (only the ones who have been true over the years).

If the charity was "Foundation to buy stuff for trmiv," yes I would give it all to charity.

I'd like to think I would do the same.. but I wouldn't just give it to charity right away. I would invest it first and after a few years of decent returns then I'd give it away.. maybe after buying myself a few stupid things like a motorcycle and a pistol. That's all you really need in life. And ammo.

Well, I guess you wouldn't really need the lottery money, since you're a billionaire spyware writer. ;):p j/k.

I probably wouldn't give very much to charity. I'd contribute most of it to my family.

I'd spend it all on myself and my friends. Deposit it all into the bank and spend only the intrest until I retire, as it isn't happening soon. :(

I'd sit on my ass for the rest of my life and give part to charity when I die.

I'd build a compnany that's anti-spyware.
Also, the company would double as a spyware author locator option where all the employees assiciated with spyware, its distribution, etc., are publicly known.

:evil:

Nope, I have some projects I'd want to fund, for example we need a version of X-Com with updated graphics but the same classic gameplay.
