Give a large sum of it to causes I consider to be worthwhile...buy myself an apartment overlooking the water, take my mother to Disneyworld as we used to go there together when I was a child/teen...and use the rest of the money to live on so that I could learn all that I want to and do what I want to without having to worry about a job.

Invest it and keep as much of it out of the greedy hands of the government as possible. And buy my own small house.

so you can get tax exempt status? Does it work like that in the States too?

I would like to run a couple of test cases in the courts, like challenging a lot of bank fees as illegal and unconsionable conduct, but I don't think 1 bar is enough.

If it was $100,000,000 in Australian, then I'd get an awesome new silver PS2 and a new car for mum. I'll make sure the car is silver with blue neons, an awesome hood, cool interior and a sick stereo!

Invest 1/2 - 2/3ds of it, and the rest? House, car, college education (gotta get that boring stuff out of the way), and enough firearms to arm half the western world.

Start a non-profit boarding prep school for underpriviliged kids who get good grades but are stuck in America's crappy education system.

Raise an armies and be king of an island.

Get support from the US for owning a democratic Christian country and go from there! XD

I seriously would invest and open a business that might be profitable!
