I'm a cheapskate and think that the money will not get to where it's supposed to anyways so I wouldn't. But that lotto winner did give to charity yes.

They where and remained private people. It's really the people around them that changed a lot.

That couple divorced a few years after their win but that, without a doubt would have happened with or without winning the lottery. One thing to notice is that it's not them that changed but the people around them. Consequently, they where seeing them as being different when they really where not.
