If you win the lotto of $50,000.000 dollars would you give all away for charity?

I would probably give about $30000 to charity because I've seen the videos of the people in Kenya and I've always wanted to help them, but I need some of that moolah for myself. I hope the kids in Kenya will be able to get a decent education with that donation.

I'd use half to help out my fmily, because we've always had financial troubles, and I qould definately use half to donate to charities and organizations I support. :]

I would give some money to a charity I always donate to, it is a charity that sends free food every day to the homes of people who have AIDS and Cancer. It is called "God's Love We Deliver" and I love this charity. If I may comment on something, your original discussion topic says, If you were to win the lotto of $50,000.00 dollars - what you wrote was Fifty Thousand Dollars and in your responses you talk about 50 million, so I think this might have confused some people.

I understand you meant to write 50 million but you did put a period where there should be a coma. This is 50 Thousand $50,000.00 and 50 Million is $50,000,000.00 That's probably where the confusion was. Have a great day.

I am kind of selfish, I would not give it away because I really need that money right now to pay for my bank loans and to buy a house. I would give it away if there is any left but 50,000 is not even enough to buy a house so I would not give any away unless any of my relatives need it very much.

yes, I win, but mylot friends told me it is a put-up job, so I gave away the prize, lol...
I believe there is no free lunch in the world, so I give up it.

if i win that amount of money i would probably not give it to charity
bcoz i dont believe giving help by donating money will help people help themselves

I think if I were to get my hands on that much money, there'd be no harm in keeping a lot of it for myself and my family. There'd still be some to give away to charity, and some to keep. Why give it all away when I can be happy too?
