The debate is not silly at all, since many have had to deal with the reality of the situation in the past, and it's good to guage the results against your personality type to see what might possibly become of you under different circumstances that you may find yourself in, or may exercise to follow.
If the winner is traditionally greedy, selfish, ignorant, stupid, adulterous, murderous or demonstrates addictive or compulsive/impulsive behaviour...Then that winner will aspire and simply gravitate to become a notorious " RICH " greedy, selfish, ignorant, stupid, adulterous, murderous, addictive or compulsive/impulsive, misbehavioural personality, and may probably proceed to cause much harm to others he comes into contact with by abusing their new-found wealth.
Being generous can become dangerous when you cast your jewels to the swine. It's best to tune your sense of smell and make sure you eat sausage to keep the swine at bay...It is fitting to better yourself immediately and learn how to invest wisely if there is such a thing anymore, and it is fitting to become wise in ways that shield you from the human nature that would sucker your win away from you.
Giving away money can and will cause much distortion in the lives you influence, and can even enable them to do much harm after they deviate from their normal habits. Do you really think that you want to be that hero? You best be prepared to become an unsung hero, then...anonymously...right after you learn how to take care of your own affairs first. The cursing can't be directed at you if you are an anonymous donor.
Buying that ticket was your own fantasy...not everyone else's. They can buy their own tickets too and maybe become lucky enough to distort reality, much like a drug user does. If one feels there will be a problem if and when they win the lottery, then don't play. If you're merely buying tickets to win so that you can be a hero and give it away to make things better for everyone else, I think you're in for the shock of your life...The deed will come back around to bite you in the a$$.

P.S. I'm a " realist ". It's not easy to get by matters at hand when you can really see things the way they really are, and retain enough logic to calculate what might possibly happen next when certain variables are tampered with.
