I wonder how his kids feel about this. Don't get me wrong I think a big winner should share some with those in need. But ALL??
I think he's doing the right thing. He is well enough off that he doesn't need the money and IMHO people who never have to earn their own money have no concept of it's real value.

It's not that, it's that you almost never hear of Americans donating the lotto money. Americans win the money and then spend it all within a couple of years, which is probably more indicative of the people that play the lotto than anything else, but still.
I don't trust a lot of charities. A lot of the money goes to executives at the top who earn large salaries. I'd rather be more directly involved in giving so I can see where the money is going and make sure it's not going to pay someone's salary.
