Technically, that 10% figure doesn't apply to christians. The NT only says to "Give joyfully". 1% or 100%, it's up to you.

would you donate some of the jackpot to your church or to a religious charity?

Donate part of the jackpot, no. Donate part of the money I get from my investments, yes.

No annuity until after you get paid in cash.
