It's one of those rare, endangered-species-of-opinion areas where conventional wisdom is correct.

It ain't you never know. You always know.

I don't recommend anyone else do it unless they want to without any encouragement from me.

I just happen to do it.

I haven't won a jackpot, nor even a big prize.

I keep a case of Dinty Moore canned stew in the back of the truck and give a couple of cans to hitchhikers when I let them off, if I think they're hungry. If I'm feeling flush sometimes I'll throw in a couple of bucks if they don't try to take it by force.

If they do try, or if they'd like to try, I don't give them the stew.

Agree with RJOh's comment if you are taking a survey.

Regarding the subject matter, I don't think winning the lottery has anything to do with giving a percentage to charity. If someone never reached into his pocket to help anyone before getting lucky, I doubt if he'll be very generous when he wins a big jackpot (and vice versa

It been said before that once a LP member wins big and post a jpeg of their winning ticket, they're never heard from again. That being said you're preaching to the wrong choir. If you're really interested in knowing the answer to your question then you should contact the lottery sites for a list of their big winners and send them a letter directly.

Many people who win jackpots, or substantial prize money, donate a percentage to a charity. Were you lucky enough to win a tidy sum? Did you make a donation to charity
