I like to think I'd give it all away.
Seriously, it seems like most lottery winners end up unhappy. Their friends and family turn into mooches, they get attacked by all kinds of scam artists, they quit their jobs and suddenly have no meaning to their lives (or don't quit their jobs and have everyone think they are crazy). Sudden massive wealth that I didn't earn would upend my life, and that usually isn't a good thing.
So yeah, I'd probably give it all away.
Maybe I'd tell everyone I gave it all away and keep a little on the side for beer money.
