Wow...the lottery thing: I'd definitely have to sit down and write down a plan. Some of it's real easy:

parents/grandparents/siblings are taken care of, of course.

all bills paid off, obvie.

Set up our Cub Scout Pack and District for the next few years.

Take care of my high school theater department for a long time.

Turn in my resignation...effective as soon as they have hired someone and I feel they're trained enough to handle the job.

I'm sure there's a ton of stuff I'm forgetting...that's just top of my head stuff.
