If it was a few billion, probably go build under privledged people some house, shelters. Invest, help the hurricane relief/other storm relief around the world.
And, party everyday. Not to mention I would go buy a Diablo, Viper, Chopper, 67 Mustang GT 500E

Heres what I'd do...
1. Pay off all debts (of course).
2. Legally change my last name.
3. Buy another vehicle.
4. Purchase a large quanitity of land outside of the city (70+ acres uncleared or cleared) and sit on it.
5. Purchase additional land outside the city/suburbs (5 acres uncleared).
5a. Clear some of the 5 acres (I could do this myself if I rent the machines) for a yard and driveway. Enough space between trees & house so if a tree falls, it wont hit the proposed house.
5b. Have a modest house built. 4br, 4ba 2 story w/ partial finished attic.
6. Bank the cash in multiple accounts. for specific "purposes". (recreation, home improvments, emergicies, etc).
7. Live my usual life on the interest and start in on my business idea.
I could get away with all this for under 2 million and still leave me some cash to enjoy the cash modestly.
Now suppose if this would be the lottery, it'd be done a little differently. VERY few people that I trust would know (2 people - yes, I only trust 2 people) about the winnings. I'd keep working until EVERYTHING is worked out, then I'd go on my own with a business idea I have. Of course, before any of the above gets put into motion, I'd help out where its due.

I would move to Nigeria and set up a data center.
Next I would announce to the world about how truthful and honest these Nigerian scammers are.
Then the whole world will be lapping up all the scam emails hoping to strike a fortune like I did.
And I would scam the whole world and make more billions.

I would definatley have to purchase a home with a full basement and build a beautiful datacenter down there. I would take every picture possible throughout the construction, and compile it into one huge how-to that I would then post on WHT. Probably buy the place off of Tina, or at least rent. I can deal with only the second best landlord, and she's local.

So... no one would go to a Vegas casino, sit at the roulette table and put everything on red?
