Let's say you won the Mega-Millions lottery and you are in debt. The money would basically cover it all, except you have $500,000 left. Would you give the money to charity or keep it to yourself and use it for only yourself.(You cannot donate PART of it)

Well if I was in such debt that it would take all but 500,00.00 of a mega-million dollar lottery to get me out of it...I think I had better use it on some "How To Manage Your Money And Stay Out Of Debt" classes.

I'd love to say I would give it to charity, however, if I could only make a choice between keeping it or donating it all, I'm pretty sure I'd keep it. (Maybe I could invest it and give the interest it earns to charity?)
-
Keep it. If I'm that terrible with money, I'll be needing it!
-
I would keep that money for myself. I'll probably need it for college.
-
Couldn't I use the money on myself during my lifetime and leave it to charity in my will? I don't know which is more likely: that I'd buy a lotto ticket (ESPECIALLY if in debt) or that I'd actually win. I've actually wanted to start a non-profit organization, but I'm going to assume that I had a mortgage as part of my debt. In that case, I'd probably start the charity.
-
I would use the money to buy investments like fixed property, and then I will resell, buy new property and give part of the profit I have made to charity.
-
I'd keep it and go get a 4-year degree in accounting, then maybe(but in all honesty, probably not) start donating part of my new near-6 figure income to charity every year.
-
I'd keep the rest for me.
