What do you do when the 'winner' of the lottery runs away?

Before I give anyone money I inject him with something that's either harmless or incapacitating. I immediately put an incapacitated person in a chemically induced coma, and he never regains consciousness.

However, I do support you setting up your foundation simply so that when someone proposes the solution in the above paragraph, people consider it to be the sane option :-)

Generalized, this can be my life's work.
