Charles, Do you think giving millions of dollars to your church wouldn't mess it up? Money does weird things to people -- more so to large groups of people. Perhaps it would be better to set up a trust for the church and let them draw on the interest over time for this or that project. You could be very specific about the ways in which they could use the money. I'm saying this in all seriousness as if, you know, any of us is actually going to win. I found out the other day that, in order to win the lottery, one has to actually buy a ticket. You can imagine my disappointment! ;-) -Allen Office Space moment: (from memory)

Charles,

Besides, where am I going to live while my dream house is being built? Although, come to think of it, I'd spend a month in and around the District of Columbia and visit every historical monument, museum and significant government building I could think of. I'd also like to spend some time in Europe, where I've never been before. You don’t think I’d send my Mom off traveling by herself, do you?
