You just won millions in the lottery

1. Lawyer up.
2. Get the hell away from civilization.
3. Keep to myself, get most of my social interaction from semi-anonymous online message boards.

So, not a ton would change, except I'd own a lot more land a lot further from a population center.
 
I assume we are talking about winning something like $1B in MegaMillions or PowerBall

1. Put winning ticket in safety deposit box
2. Hire a lawyer
3. Hire a money manager
4. Finally cash in ticket
5. Give at least $5M each to all my brothers and sisters who were all very nice when my father passed away and we split up his inheritance.
6. Give $5M to our live-nanny who has worked for us for 10 years so that she can buy her own house and retire (if she wants).
7. Give $1M each to all my drinking buddies so they can retire early and enjoy life
8. Give $1M each to about 5 of my old co-workers so they can retire early and enjoy life
9. Set up a trust fund for my kids.
10. Buy a new mansion in a warm weather state
11. Hire a new cook, maid and nanny. Our old nanny can live with us if she wants but does have to work anymore.
12. Trip to Hawaii.
