    I'd pay for college, but outside of that, I'd change nothing about my life. Getting that much money at my age without earning it would destroy me.

    * Repay student debt and pre-pay the rest of my tuition
    * Buy five houses, four of which would be gifts
    * Install gym, library, and garden, and put in enough solar panels and efficiency upgrades to be self-sustaining
    * Replace my compact car with a compact hatchback
    * Set up a small trust for each of my children
    * Set up a scholarship for my younger brother
    * Start a community garden

    Depends on how much I won. :D

    If it was more like 1-5 million:
    1. Give my parents money for retirement
    2. Pay off my debts and my sisters debts
    3. Buy a condo in my dream building (or pay for a down payment, it is about $800k to live there)
    4. Take a 6 week sabbatical to travel
    5. Save the rest

    If it was a lot more:
    Do all of the stuff above
    Start a business, maybe a clothing boutique? Not sure
    Save a lot
    Work on some downtown redevelopment projects
    Donate more

    In this order:

    1) Find a great place to hide.
    2) Tithe.
    3) Setup an annuity or high interest account that will kick out monthly dividends. This account would be never touched again (setup and forgotten)... and willed to my descendants, with restrictions regarding cashing it out or taking loans against it. You would be surprised how many lottery winners go bankrupt.
    4) Give all of my relatives and/or close friends one lump sum, and tell them that if they blow it, don't come back.
    5) Purchase several lots of land and or houses in up and coming areas... income property, and hire a management firm to oversee the renting out, repairs, etcetera.
    6) Travel, and hire a chef, trainer and stylist to go with me.
    7) Setup a school/orphanage of excellence that would foster healthful living, encourage diversity and service.
