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
appearance to accept, wear disguise. Mask, Groucho Marx glasses, ...

Don't let your name be publicized.

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. :)
