How much of your Powerball winnings are you giving away?

Let's assume $250 million after taxes. You know every family member will have their hand out. I'm guessing I distribute around $100 million to family.

ETA: I know the chances of winning are slim, but I bought 10 tickets so that brings the odds down to about 1,000:1.

A lot of it will go to single mothers and young women struggling to get by in life due to their poor choices

The trouble with that is, you don't know how many family members you REALLY have.

Why do you have to give any away? If you had a job that paid you that much, would everyone still be expecting you to give the money?

I can't imagine what a struggle life must be for people who would actually miss $20 spent on lottery tickets.

Do you smoke, drink or gamble? Yet the person spending a few bucks on the lotto is the idiot?

As much as I'm allowed for tax deduction purposes. I'm going to have a strict "no giveaway outside immediate family" policy. Plenty of pro athletes would still have money if they adopted my policy.

I would give my parents 5 million. The rest get their homes and vehicles paid off and 100,000 each. Im not giving anyone a million in cash but I would pay for family vacations and such. Charities and churches get $0.
