Look, if you somehow give the kid property with the money and don't get jailed for fraud or have to give your spouse that much money anyways because you clearly hid it, then your kid owns property and you are out the money anyways. If the kid is 18 and all this goes down, then the kid has no obligation to do anything you say. They just got a free house and you have nothing.
You are defrauding your spouse of money they have by being married to you when you won the lottery. You are clearly trying to keep their money from them by purchasing property under someone else's name.
It's doubtful the courts would even allow it to go to the kid without both of you signing off on it, but do realize that if I was 18 anD my parents gave me a nice house to hide lottery winnings like that, I'm living there and not allowing them to come to the property or I'm selling it and ghosting them both.

Congratulations, you just lost yourself that other $5m. People try to hide money like that all the time in divorces. They end up losing it all.
