I would probably get the windows on my Fit tinted. Damn sun is hot.

Distribute 75% to family/friends.

Make a hefty donation to LSU School of Medicine, and not worry about nuttin' for a while.

I'd take my girl to a nice restaurant. Like the Taco Bell.

Probably keep about $10m for me and my family, donate the rest.

You can just buy the sun and tell it to lower the heat.

If I won, friends and family would be set for life financially. Then I would start a foundation / program centered around mentorship and education. That is after I build my house and fill up my garage

Remodel my entire house, buy a motorcycle, get a good touring bicycle setup and bike the US, buy a good brewing setup and start my own brewery, send both my kids through college of their choice and set them up financially, probably buy a couple houses in various parts of the country/world and rent some of them out.

My philanthropic side wants to charge headlong into making fuel-cell cars a reality.
IMO, they are the right way forward. Liberate the future by making peak oil a non-issue.

On the other hand, it'd be damn tempting to buy an island someplace, retire and tell the rest of the world to piss off.
I'm not at all sure which I'd choose.
