First off, lottery winnings should be taxed at a much higher rate than any other form of income. In the most literal sense of the word, the winner did not "earn" that money. Even a hedge fund guy has to do a bit of research and make intelligent choices.
That said, once I paid taxes, I'd not be making any kinds of huge charitable donations. I'd be much more concerned with ensuring that my family line is set for life, instead of spreading the wealth around to millions through another organization.
