If you won powerball or megamillionReply
I've already signed and had an affidavit notarized gifting a share of 30% of any MM ticket I purchase in the next year to my large extended family, with most individuals owning a set share of one or two percent. So should I win the jackpot, my relatives would also be considered winners, and they would pay income taxes out of their amount and I wouldn't have to pay gift taxes, since it would be the partnership that won. Even one percent of the present jackpot would be more than half a million dol

If you won either of the Big Ones: How much would you set aside for Charity?
20%- 30% or more? Or would you take the wait and see approach ? Charity could denote your Church, Red Cross or Other.

6 things to do before claiming your lottery prizeReply
Keep a copy of the ticket. If you hear an individual claimed it, report to the charity and police. Personally, I'd go thru a lawyer so that another person could verify that the ticket was intended for a charity and could intervene if anything went wrong and I could stay completely anonymous. Especially in a state where lottery claimants can stay anonymous, you'd need someone to follow up with the intended charity to make sure it was deposited into their accounts and not siphoned off by the o

Lottery Winners should build/sustain common charity fund
The NJ PB Winner said he will help his family. I applaud him for that. I also wish he will be the first one to start a single charity fund that other lottery winners, past and future, can contribute to. I think this fund can grow very easily and make a huge impact on the lives of many.

Can a non-profit Org. cash a JP ticket and NOT pay taxes?Reply
It would be perfectly legal to start a charity, donate a winning ticket, and act as a paid employee of the charity, as long as it's a legitimate charity. You probably wouldn't even face serious scrutiny from the IRS, as long as you give away most of the money and your salary is only a tiny percentage of the charity's annual income. As a very rough guess you could eventually pocket 5 to 10% of what the ticket was worth. Before taxes, of course.

What Will You Give Back?Reply
I voted for charity, but it depends on how much I win. If it's a very large win I will start with giving to charity and then to the rest of the family. If it's a small first prize I would think of my family first, then give some to charity.

$172M & Katrina ReliefReply
Salvation Army seems a good choice to me, but since nobody won the jackpot I suppose it's moot.I'm a PB player anyway.If I won tonight I'd make my choices of what to do with it, charity-wise, without regard to the hurricane and the aftermath. I don't believe there's anything particularly special about the hurricane victims, over various other situations of human distress. For the moment the hurricane victims appear to be receiving plenty of attention. Long after they've gone where ever they'r
