"Thou shalt not covet" doesn't prohibit, say, getting a college education in order to increase one's chances of earning more money. Looking for income is not the sin. The commandment is talking about the kind of attitude that raises earthly goods up on a pedestal, and envies if it can't get them -- keeping up with the Joneses.

apples and oranges---lottery is getting something for nothing, getting a college education would be considered earning your money by the sweat of your brow as God decreed.
I do think though that the man was blessed with this to bless Christian charities though. I'm sure it's been a long time since someone who won one of these things was so blatantly Christian and would give so much to Christian organizations. Perhaps SA refusing the money is God's way of saying to the lottery winner to make his donations more discreet or anonymously to avoid pride ya think?
