If you won $10 million in the lottery, how much, if any, would you donate to charity? (to buy, celebrities)

I posted this in responce to hearing how many celebraties go to events and earn from $10,000 to 1 million dollors...and are expect to donate it all to charity...
When your struggling to make...and hear how a celeb donates $30,000 to charity, how does that make you feel?
Do you sometimes feel their 'forced' to do that, but deep down inside wanna keep the money?
And do these charities really even help anyone?
Has anyone on here ever been helped by a charity organization?
I'm sure some celebrities really want to donate.
If I had that much money I would definitely donate a lot. There are a lot of good charities out there.
Sometimes I feel that celebrities give out of genuine concern and sometimes it's as if they're bragging or showboating that they've given away money. For example I remember a few years ago the singer Usher threw himself a party to celebrate him donating money to charity. I think if you want to help others it doesn't always have to be done where attention is brought back on you. Humble giving is best. And yes after tithing 10% of my$10 million I would be sure to donate to charity.
I guess, as someone who's apart of the 'underclass'...I sometimes 'gasp' when I see people that have so much spare change that they can donate $20,000 dollors to a charity...and then know that out of that $20,000 it will be portianed off in such small amounts...that in the end it will still keep those in need....well...in need...
If I won the lottery or inherited a large amount of money...I doubt I would blindly give to charities...Cause it seems the people these charities are asigned or pledged to help, never get better...
And I know of no one who has ever been helped by these charities...I mean giving someone a $10 dollor voucher to buy food is a joke to me, excpecially after someone just gave their organization $20,000 dollors....
I would not advertise my wealth, but I would seek out the charities that I would want to help out....there are several. So my final answer is "YES" otherwise I'd feel greedy.
I usually think that the celebrities should quit asking me for my paltry "pennies-a-day" and just give a good chunk of their many millions, which they got from us anyway...

Mam...i've been down so long and so hard, that if I won the lottery I would not feel guilty at all for keeping every cent of it...
Yes, I would give...but I think I would derive much more joy from spontaniously given to people is see in need, in real time...
Like say someones car that just broke down...walking over and just buying them a new one...
Or maybe observing someone loosing their home...walking over and paying the rest of the debt off...or maybe just 5 months of payments for them...
I think just random acts of kindness like that would be fun...
