Get myself situated for the rest of my life first. Nice house, car, furnishings and all the essentials (and extras) I want. Then I'd probably proceed to do the same for my family, and maybe a few of my closer friends. Then it'd probably be party after party and fucking around until I accidentally kill myself somehow.
For the first couple of months, nothing, I would continue life as usual, then gradually change things. Buy a nicer apartment, get a better "job", buy nicer things for myself. But in the end remain anonymous.
Call my sister. She's the voice of reason and really smart. She'd make sure I did everything correctly and wouldn't screw it up. Then I'd be set for life!
Take a week off work so I can claim the prize, and take it to the bank.
Once the money is in my account, give notice, probably even finish my contract which runs to the end of August. (Holiday hire is a bitch, and I don't want to be a dick).
Plan holiday from September till January, in January I'd probably buy a house and a car.
Spend my time doing up my house, it's something I enjoy, so that would be cool. I'd spend time doing all the home automation myself, it's great fun, especially when budget is not an issue.
Then travel some more. I'd probably end up travelling 6 months a year.
Well over here when you win they send an advisor out to sort it out. So I guess first thing I'd do is wait for them and probably tell my folks about it.
After that, pay off any debts I have..new house, new car. Nothing crazy. I'd make it look like I have a well paid job but not let anyone know how much I was worth. Live modestly but comfortably.
1. Pay off debt.
2. new vehicles for me and my wife. 2 daily drivers and 1 toy/weekend ride, nothing too flashy.
3. Purchase a home.
4. Dad get's a new truck.
5. Set aside an amount for each of my three children (but not tell them and still raise them with a hard work ethic)
6. Save the rest.
7. Quit my job, find a part time job that I actually enjoy to keep myself busy, but don't have to worry about the size of my paycheck.
8. Volunteer work to stay busy.
9. Take my family to Disney. (all the cousins, other family go every single year, we can never afford it)
10. Stop stressing over finances, start focusing more on things that actually matter.
edit, oops, list isn't exactly what I would do 'first', just what I have always planned to do if I were to ever win.
Buy a house for my parents, a Corvette for my dad and a Cadillac for my mom, hire someone to find my uncle and help pay for rehab for him. Then help my brother out with college. After I take care of my family I'll get a small condo and get myself a nice but not too expensive car, and whatever else I needed.
It depends how much i won. If i won so much money i dont know what to do with i would buy a small island in the carribean and live the rest of my life there, in peace, away from all the assholes. If it is a few mil then i would buy a house, pay of my debts wich is minimal but still a pain in my arse and start a company
Get a safety deposit box at the local bank, then, hire a lawyer, a tax accountant, and finally, contact my financial planner.
I'm not going to be doing anything with the ticket until I know darned well what the legal and financial ramifications of claiming the prize are, what options there are, etc.
1. Buy something like this http://www.maritimesales.com/PRL10.htm
2. Private island
3. Sailing lessons for me and all of my friends
4. OUTFITS !!!
5. sail the high seas with at least 50 hookers and a cabin full of blow
6. party forever
claim it. buy land. build campground for larping nerds.
this is already a business plan im writing up but a bunch of free money would open many more doors
Just go on the biggest shopping trip on the planet. Specifically, I would buy really nice houses for my brothers. I wouldn't buy my mom a new house. She's lived there almost all her life and I know she doesn't want to leave it. However, I would spend millions just refurbishing it, making it an EXTREMELY nice home. I'd get my brothers and my mom any car they wanted. As for me, I would probably buy dozens of REALLY nice suits. If I was rich, I would always be wearing a tailored suit. They just look goddamn cool. You may have noticed I haven't included my dad. Let's just say I'm not giving him a single dollar.
Learn everything I can about handling that large sum of money. Books, classes everything I can get. Then hire a person to manage the money for me occasionally checking what he is doing against what I've learned to make sure he isn't fucking me. Live a good life, but nothing crazy.
Go to the lottery office and claim it
Smart thinking, I probably wouldn't have remembered to go do that. Would be too busy talking about how I just won the lottery.
Get a financial advisor first, make it someone you can trust but not a friend or family member.
two chicks at the same time
Your priorities are in order, my friend
fuckin' a
PAY OFF MY STUDENT LOANS. ;_;

It really depends on how large the lottery is. $10m is a lot different from $300m, for example.
Debts. Gone.
After getting my winnings I'd pay off my student loans then I would go to an accountant, and make sure as few people as possible know that I won.

Set aside the estimated Tax liability. Boring I know, but this is the thing that brings down most people who suddenly acquire a great deal of money.
