Hmmm...I'd likely get an M10-something, a couple of lenses that have long been on the list, then a decent computer/printer/monitor suite to replace my current underachieving/overwhelmed set-up.
Anything left over, I might get a Nikon Z body.
But that's what I'd do for me. What would really be nice is to find some up and coming photographer, and present them with the $20,000 gift. They could probably put it to better use than I would.

I'm torn between spending $4K on a fuller Fuji X mount kit and $7K on a Fujifilm GFX 50R centered kit. Perhaps $600 on a reasonable printer and a bit of ink.
The rest I would put towards a grant to give to two smaller high schools here in Iowa (under 500 total student population) a set of Fuji X bodies, two or three manual control lenses, and a printer to teach photography through the Art Department.

A Pixii, a Konost and a REFLEX.
Maybe a Leica Correspondent that I will have Kanto repaint to remove the brassing and make it look like new.

A lens hood for a 35 Summicron and a Leica branded strap. Is there any money left?

M10 Monochrom + 50mm Noctilux f/0.95 [in silver chrome] would about cover it ...
... but I guess I'd have to come up with the sales tax!

Using prices from Badger Graphic and B&H:
Cooke Portrait PS945 Lens 229mm f/4.5. $5700
M10M. $8300
GFX 50R with 32-64 $5800
The remaining $200 should get a spare battery for the M10M and an SD card or three.
I'm pretty happy with my current M lens collection for my M6ttl.

Skip the GFX 50R, and instead:
Fuji X-T3 with 56/1.2 and accessory kit, $2000
Fuji 80/2.8 Macro, $1200
CV Nokton 50/1.2 $950
CV 35/1.4. Not sure about MC vs SC. $600
Plenty left over for accessories for the M10M and X-T3.

I'd take a GFX50R and all the lenses please. Thank you! 🙏

Cameras. I has it.
A similar question was asked on another site long ago. My answer then, as now, is that I cannot accept anything I haven't worked for.
So I never participate in raffles or lotteries, for example.
When I've gone to HAM swap meets and they hand me that prize ticket, I just give it to my friend.
So, for this scenario, I'll pass my "win" to anyone else. Everything I've ever wanted I already have - the Camera Room in my house makes camera stores of the past look barren in comparison.
I do hope the store has a functioning K-14 lab, though - I have some 8mm K II that needs to be processed.

I would contact educational institutions and other non-profit photography organizations that meet IRS Section 501(c)(3) requirements (e.g. The Light Factory here in Charlotte) as ask them to apply for a grant listing specific equipment and supply needs. I would use the raffle prize to purchase and then donate items on their lists.
Also, I might pick up yet another camera bag for myself. :bang:
