I'm of the opinion that if I did win the lottery (which I don't play, so
there's no chance of this happening), I'd keep a million or two to live on
(comfortably) and give the rest away (in one fell swoop) to some good
charity.  I wouldn't tell anyone about it.

Yes; I've read the stories about this, so I'm well prepared. :)

Not telling anyone is important. If you're required to make an

Don't let your name be publicized.

I wonder if you could just transfer the ticket as is to the charity, with
an understanding that you get a seat on the board (or some other no-show
job - this would be more than enough for you to live the rest of your life
on).

The hard part, in this day and age where everything is a scam, would be
finding an actually good/deserving charity.

Why, The Free Software Foundation. :)

Good idea.
