idk - but that would be a lot of dough.
Obviously pay off all debts and make sure family and close friends are well taken care of.

I would seek sound legal counsel immediately.
After that, the main thing I would like to do is buy a really nice motor home and travel during the summers to different parts of the country with my wife and kids working on various Habitat for Humanity projects.
The kids would have trust funds, but there would be serious restrictions that would ensure that they become productive members of society and not spoiled brats. I would also buy my In-Laws in a new house (across town) and remodel our existing home.  tee hee hee

One think I might do is set up a small business loan fund or venture capital fund and see if I could help people with good ideas get off the ground. And maybe a scholarship fund.
I LOVE THIS~!!!!! I would definitely do this..along with: Set up family and friends (trust for son until he's at least 35...I've ALWAYS said they aren't grown until around that time) Certain charities...mostly animal and horse-related and some particular other special needs/events. Hire a cook and a barn/pool boy.  To name just a few important things!

Hire a cook and a barn/pool boy. Can I help you with the interview process for this position? certainly! IN fact, with all that dough, I think we could build a really nice show/training barn and SEVERAL awesome hired hands!  And all the time in the world to "help" them learn the 'ropes'.

Love that movie! It was on this weekend. I would buy lots land closer to my parents and build a big ranch. The hubs wants land to hunt on he also wants a truck. Then I would pay off my church's loan on the new building and give anonymous donations to those in need. I'd keep working until I figure out what I want to do and maybe open my own business (such as a Penzeys spice store or a Lululemon or maybe an organic farm.) Pray that God will bless us with children so we can enjoy the winnings with them.
