Depends on how much I won.
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

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.0 -
