I would probably give some money to a college like Harvard.

I would definitely give some to charity, but, of course, I would also want to keep a little bit for myself. I don’ think that I could choose just one charity. If I had the money, I would probably give a little bit of money to a number of local charities.

yes maybe it is better to give to several charities in order to spread your blessings more

Yes, I do think I would, as I give now and I'm not a millionaire! So I probably would continue.

Since I grew up dirt poor the first thing I would do is to donate money to needy families and I would start up my own non profit organization to help single mother who don't have enough money when they are pregnant to buy all the things a new baby would need like a crib, diapers clothes, ect, then I would donate to church then go on a huge shopping spree!!! LOL

why do you have to wait to get a million before you donate to charity...? when you have a lot of money and it is easy to give away, then is that really a gift? A gift is something that requires a small sacrifce on the part of the giver, otherwise it is just like giving away someone elses money, and thats easy as hell. The government does that all the by taking taxes, but no one considers that charity. If you want to give, give now, no matter how much or little you have :)
...and dont take unless you need to.
