Another unmentioned wrinkle, for however it may factor in, is that when the parent earned the money that he inherited, he may have earned it with the same hard work as the other party who earned it. Additionally, the parent may have given Tzedaka off the original amount, and the son inheriting it now is giving Tzedaka a second time off the same funds.
My reading of the OP is that in the described scenarios both parties, at the time of donating, did so with the same effort and joy.
If he worked hard to earn $10 Million, without the intention of giving it to Tzedaka, his hard work wasn’t for the purpose of Tzedaka. And his later Tzedaka is similar to the other person who gave the same amount, with the same simcha, from the same base of funds.
I know that RLUIPA is Federal law and that it is actively enforced in Federal courts and has not been overturned.
It is also obvious to anyone reviewing the timing of the enactment of the zoning regulation in relation to Jewish parties desiring buildings affected by the new regs, as well as the regs designed to not affect Christian dormitories and only targeted at students aged 18+, typically what yeshivas have, why it was enacted when it was.
Is Ramaz coed too?
If a poor person, earning $30,000 to support a family, gives $3,000 to Tzedaka, thus making a major dent in what he can afford for his family, and a rich person who is single and earning $300,000 gives $30,000 to Tzedaka, and still has more extra money than he needs, does the poor person earn more schar? Both gave it with the same joy.

The OP didn’t specify he knew in advance he would give it to Tzedakah.
If the ticket was obtained illegitimately (i.e. stolen, as you suggested, or even lost and found) the authorities can likely determine that by seeing where it was purchased, where you were at the time, using possible video surveillance of the ticket vendor from the time of sale, etc.
Stolen would surely be unlikely to get away with. Even a found ticket it is questionable if it would be honored, and indeed unlikely if they realize it was a lost ticket.
But you’re correct that there is no ID required at the time of purchase.
What if the question was about a bochor from Yeshiva of Flatbush?
I don’t see the answer being essentially materially different whether it’s a YoF bochor or a YU bochor.
It’s happened where they won and quit.
Same.
Smart employers prohibit their employees from conducting an employee-pool lottery participation, since if they win most will quit simultaneously and put the business at sudden risk.
Is that the official halacha?
Agree with it or not, RLUIPA is Federal law. It violates no provisions contained in the U.S. Constitution.
The reason the county enacted the zoning rule in question was to keep the Jews out.
Endearing or not endearing such feedback is inappropriate due to propriety and lack of modesty.
She won the Israeli lottery, retired, and lived happily ever after.
If we’ve argued about anything since the OP’s message, Tuesday must’ve come and gone.
Do you contest the point?
There are times, here in the US, that I go without showing my Jewishness
Do you walk around without a yarmulka during those times?
Baruch Hashem, following many of the serious suggestions here I was able to distribute significant sums of money to various worthy causes. Having depleted all those available sums I IY”H hope to distribute further funds from the upcoming winnings.
crazybrit: In America 102 million is pocket change. Or petty cash, as we say in business.

Sam: Where did you research the lack of a lottery in Lithuania and Russia?
ubiq: You never purchased a lottery ticket in your life, or at least in recent years?
When half the comments mention you for no apparent reason.
I didn’t think your removed opinion comment was so bad.
I guess that illustrates the difference between the two of you 😛
Should poor families that can’t afford a wedding hall stick to what they can afford and make their weddings in the yeshiva dining room?
DY: When the rabbonim shlita promulgated the simcha takanos, they were more than mere recommendations.
Wolf: Your quoting didn’t do you a lot of good back here: 😉

Technology today has evolved to the point where not only a one-man band, but even a recording (with no band), can play music as good and as realistic as having a band. Of course you need the right equipment to accomplish this quality.
What was there?
Wasn’t a one-man band part of the requirements in the takana regarding simchas a number of years ago by the rabbonim shlita?
It’s pretty sick for a boy to give feedback on his thoughts of the girls choice of dress or makeup.
Your should quote (with quotation marks) the comment you’re responding to.
Or use the fancy code to italicize or blockquote.
It is the nature of the beast with the off the shelf, non-customizable (without professional effort), web forum software running this site.
But you do feel obligated to keep up with the Jonses (or Goldberg’s) in your profession?
Um, how do you girls get feedback from your dates as to whether he was unhappy with your choice of heels??
