Money Moral Dilemma: Should I keep the money I won playing a charity lottery?

JayD

Yawn and yes, you ARE overthinking it.

Keep it! You will have already donated a lot over the years by playing, and no doubt will continue to do so. Charities make money with these lotteries or they wouldn't do them. Take the win and enjoy it.

I would say you are most definitely overthinking it. What was the point of doing their lottery in the first place but to win something? You might as well stop doing it and just donate direct instead! A lot of donations go to expenses and overpaid executives. You have already donated generously (and will keep doing so through the lottery) so stop feeling guilty and spend your winnings on something for yourself or family. Alternatively put it away for a rainy day when you might need it more than you do now.

If you're doing a charity lottery and giving back a prize, there's no point in you doing it!

I would keep some of it and donate some of it, dont feel guilty, they make money each time thousands of people enter them
