Donate Funds

Be careful of the fame with lottery winnings
The disadvantage of a huge lottery win is the fame that accompanies it. You will be approached by non-profit organizations, family members, friends and even strangers for monetary help. There are also a few flamboyant winners who carry all their winnings around in a suitcase to spend frivolously wherever or whenever they want to.

You could also place it in a safety deposit box in a bank until you receive the lottery winnings.
Visit the lawyer and accountant
Don't tell anyone about your win; tell only close friends and family. It would be good to tell only three population who you can trust to keep a secret, and who you are sure are not greedy or manipulative by nature.
Then visit a lawyer to learn about the current lottery laws and find out how you can legally claim the marker without difficulties. Also meet an accountant to find out how you can evade taxes and make the right investments. Use an assumed name and rent a hotel room as you have to be as anonymous about yourself and your win to stay away from the press.
Take a month's holiday with some prize money, after which you will be able to conclude what to do with the rest of it. Spending on an impulse ordinarily leads to unnecessary expenditure; spending your lottery money after thinking about it a bit will help you remember things, population or charities you had all the time wanted to buy, help or donate to. This way you will spend your lottery winnings wisely.
