Suppose, you are taking an evening walk and a discarded blank lottery ticket blows in your face. You figure you might as well so you fill it out with a bunch of numbers, you pay a dollar and enter the lottery.
But!
OMG!
You WIN, actually WIN, ten million dollars, after taxes.
Sooo.. the taxman grabs his share and long story short you are sitting here right now with $10,000,000 extra on your bank account.
Its right now, so today.
What will you do?
Please be as detailed as possible.
The newage law of attraction people say that one of the first steps of getting something is pretending you already have it so, lets play pretend.
What would you spend this $10,000,000 on? What do you do with the sum you dont spend right away?
Its OK to take inspiration from each others ideas.
GO!

First I would pay off my car and house. Then I would sell both those items. Sell my portion of my business off or gift it to my business partner. Buy a nicer house worth maybe 500,000, nothing crazy. Then I would buy a nicer car again nothing crazy maybe a Lincoln or Cadillac. From there I would get a financial advisor and try to invest my money so that I can live off it and the interest forever. In that time of just living off the money I'll travel and see the world as much as possible helping people out where I can. Obviously drugs thrown all through out this process. Mostly just molly, mescaline, and wax. Not the fun answer you were probably looking for but its what I would do.
edit- Further details would be to have the house be in the middle of nowhere Adirondacks, New York. The travel to start with the French Polynesians.

distribute it among a diverse financial portfolio while retaining 20% of the lump sum across multiple savings accounts in order to cover emergency situations or significant personal purchases.
I would continue to work and retain my present standard of living.

Michael Carroll (born 29 March 1983 in Swaffham, Norfolk) is an English winner of the UK National Lottery.
A former binman, Carroll won ÂŖ9,736,131 on the National Lottery in November 2002, aged 19. He enjoyed a celebrity status for a time in the British media as a "Lotto lout" and the self-proclaimed "King of Chavs", a phrase that he emblazoned on his black Mercedes van.
When Carroll won the Lottery at the age of 19, he was employed part-time as a binman.[1] At the time of his win, Carroll did not have a bank account, and tried opening one at Coutts as recommended by the lottery company. Coutts refused his application, which Carroll later ascribed to his criminal record.[1]
In 2006, the BBC reported that he was almost broke, having spent his fortune on new homes, drugs, parties, jewellery and cars.[8

Start an herbal healing center in western mass-
Basically a ramped up warehouse with three parts-
1. The tea lounge. Here you would be able to learn about the healing properties of different plants, buy some tea blends, and of course, lounge and enjoy a cup of tea with your friends.
2. The showroom. The showroom would be mostly a crystal based shop, but would also sell spirituality based literature on the cheap, and some small variety of clothing and bags.
3. The workshop. As you can imagine, this will be the space for different types of classes to be taught. Things like yoga and tai chi and also things like making medicinal cacao kava chocolates. 
Would start it in western mass to work out the kinks and then move closer to the cities, where they have less access to herbal healing. I believe we all have to do what we can to heal the planet

The most important thing to do (In Canada) is to decide who's name you want to put on that lottery ticket. We do not tax lottery wins because we buy lottery with our after tax money.
BUT
If you win 10 mil cash it under your name alone and give a million to your mom. She will get taxed on that million nearly half the amount. If you out your mom's name as 1/10 of the owner of the ticket, you get 9 million tax ffree and she gets 1 million tax free also.
As for the money itself. I'd invest it somewhere safe (5%) interest and live off the interest alone while reinvesting everything that is left at the end of the year back into the acocount for a bigger payoff the year after. I could off-course go into real estate, buy a huge apartment building and rake in a shit ton of money and be worth north of 100 million by the time I retire, but do I really want that kind of trouble?

Pay student loans and other debt 30K
I would buy a house/land by one of the big lakes. Know where exactly (land is cheap ) . Say after updating a large work space 500k. Then would easily drop 500K to 800K on tools. Newer flat bed truck 80K . Invest the rest live off the interest . Still would work. Wouldn't let any women know .
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Shit i dont know what id do with that. Id probably first divide it up between family members. Let my parents pay off all their debt. Id probably do some research into different charities and donate a lot of it.
Keep enough for myself to buy a nice house/car/drugs. Stash a chunk away, probably invest some of it as well.
Quit my current job because its stressful as fuck, but id have to continue to work because im that kind of guy. Id probably move to a different country or state. Find a job i enjoy or pursue a career in college.

Build myself a nice diversified portfolio that will pay me a comfortable income for life, spend a couple hundred grand on a cottage in the middle of nowhere, fill it with whatever musical instruments and equipment I need, then hole up there for the rest of my life and make music. If I could afford it I might buy a condo in New York or berlin or something and fly myself and my friends out there whenever I feel like I need a break from the isolation.

Spend a million, buy index funds etf, then live off the interest which should be at least 250k after taxes. I would try to never touch the capital. I would also buy a expensive house in the 2 million range so I could save on taxes. Probably buy a nice Mercedes like a s65 amg, but I would keep my outback. I probably wouldn't have any big toys like planes or big boats..the million I'm going to spend would be on alot of different things. Jet skis, a motorcycle or two, nice car, random 50k dollar toys basically. Stuff like that.

Pay off my Mother's and Sister's houses, either renovate my dad's place for him or buy it off him and get him a new house, renovating his old place anyway and turning it into a nice duplex apartment. Pay off my sisters car, buy my mom a nice newer car and surprise my dad with a 57 or 58 Dodge.
Travel the world for a year or so but not on a giant budget; I like seeing places the way they are, not the way they are presented for you when you're very rich. It'd be great to treat my whole extended family and some friends to a nice 2 week Phillippine vacation while staying in a really nice hotel though.
Then I'd come back home, buy a very modest house (or move into one of the units if I has bought my dad's place off of him) and adopt a dog from the pound. I don't need much, only a garage and a nice yard for the pup which can be had for $200-250k. I'd do my Mustang up EXACTLY how I want it and daily drive that but splurge and buy one really nice sports car for the weekend. I'd probably have a couple other cheaper project cars too, like a 240-280z, a 70's/early 80's porsche etc.. but they would cost almost nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Then after my little splurge/world tour I'd have maybe $7M remaining in low risk investments and $1.75M in higher risk or business ventures, I'd go back to school. Whether it be to realize my passion and go all the way with that or to just keep learning about new and different things, I don't know. It would allow me to either vacation or work on projects every summer though.
Also it's worth mentioning that I'd surely help my family out way more than just paying stuff off for them. My mom could retire the day she found out and I'd pay her way until the day she died after all she's done for me. My father and sister also deserve anything they desire for all they've done for me and I would make any of it happen for them if it was within my power.
I've also always been interested in both house flipping (I've wanted to renovate them myself while I live in them though) and buying rental properties. If I had the time I would certainly invest some of my money in rental properties.

First of all, I would buy a very nice house with land along the coast near San Francisco (possibly even in San Francisco). Then I would put the rest of it into as safe of a savings account type thing (maybe a variety of mutual funds) as I could find. Something that generates a couple percent of interest per year. I would live off of the interest.

10 mil? 45k to student loans and credit card debt 55k on a tesla 900,000 on a house 2 million on shit to fill the house: nice furniture, a nice sound system, a few hot tubs, large projectors, nice art, a bust of Anne frank, etc.
7mil left.... Put 5 into a mutual fund/some sort of investment firm and have them roll it back into 10.
I'd see the world with 1 million of it and spend the other million on heroin, oxycodone, pot, and cocaine.

I would first pay off any debts I have, in total of medical bills the total should be less then 10,000$
Leaving me with 9,999,990$
After that I would give out around 10,000$ each to immediate family, the legal amount that can be given without taxation. Considering I only consider a small amount of my family worthy of that amount, the total would come up to around 100,000$ leaving me with 9,890,000$.
I then would buy a property of substantial acreage somewhere in either the Oregon or Washington coast, probably costing somewhere between 500,000$ to 1,000,000$. Lets assume the prior which would leave me with something close to 9,390,000$.

After that I would hire several accountants and investment specialists where I would attempt to diversify my portfolio into metals, companies and financial institutions while simultaneously investing in small business ventures and venture capitalist opportunities. Probably friends and loved ones would be the owners are proprietors of these smaller ventures.
Assuming I dump a large portion of my money into these opportunities, I think somewhere around 4,000,000$ total leaving me with something around 5,390,000$ left. Which I would then move into several accounts in multiple nations while holding a reserve of 1,000,000$ in precious metals or otherwise in my immediate possession.
I would use some of the money to purchase two vehicles, one off terrain vehicle and one hybrid for commuting back and forth between my home and the city. I would maintain a source of income while following my dreams of becoming a non-profit artist. I live a rather un-lavish lifestyle now, and have for the most of my life. I would hope to aspire to follow that suit and keep lavish and exotic spending to a minimum.
I would also probably go around my old homeless hangouts and hand out money, somewhere between 100$ to 1,000$ in a day to a month span, once or twice a year. Even if I am just feeding peoples addictions, I still feel that those people have under certain circumstances suffered enough and if they've decided to live the life of addiction and homelessness, I am not the one to change their mind but rather to ease their suffering.

In a perfect world:
1/2 the money would go to payoff the debt for me and my immediate family as well as a modest house on 100+ acres of land.
The other 1/2 I'd use to start up a mental illness center that would specialize in those who have self medicated themselves into homelessness. 5 million would just be the kick starter to hire the right people to get the proper programs, facility plans, fundraisers, etc. in place. Then raise money to build and execute. A lot of homeless people need help learning how to live a life where they can manage their mental illness instead of escaping with self medication.
Easier said than done. Once I got the check I'd probably just self medicate until I died.

Hmm I myself..
I'd turn my house into an absolute dreamhouse and get my life in order.. thats about $250,000, probably less.
I will probably live up to 50 years more, for the purpose of that I will monetize 5 million dollars into 4000 gold krugerrands which will be stored in guarded value storage places. Thats 80 krugs a year to live on, or in today's money roughly $60,000-150,000 a year. Not very much mind you but its rain OR shine, and in fact the more it rains the higher gold will soar. And its gonna soar so, fuck holding onto money. Retirement will start today and nothing stops it. 
I would have $750,000 as special spendings money for myself and my loved ones.
I drop an additional million on my friends and family, friends extends into the shroomery, partially 
Three million left. Those 3 millions will be conservatively invested and the returns thereof will be used to fuel its own charity. There are 34 million orphans in sub-saharan Africa, which is the poorest of poor regions of the whole world. Orphans are cared for by the people as best they can but, the people often get by on a dollar per day. Africa is full of barely surviving orphanages. Imagine being orphaned, homeless and then in an orphanage who can't even properly feed and clothe you. Thats fucking bad shit. My charity would aim to raise funds to help prop up these orphanages as best as possible, giving them a web presence to generate funds independently and helping them sustain and expand. I grew up in relative poverty and spent 4 of my teenage years in an institution. I can empathize, and I DO empathize, so thats where my charity will be active in.
All done!
10 million dollars well spent, I should say.
God, lay them on me

I'd buy a house and a few decent used cars along with an enduro, then retrofit said house with solar panels and such. I'd buy like 1k of mxe, 100g each of 4ho mipt, 4ho met, and 4aco dmt, and some kind of ridiculous amount of ald52. I wouldn't give fuck all for money to anyone except my kids, who I'd put away 2m each until their 25th birthday. That's about it.

I'd become debt-free, rent an apartment, buy a new guitar and a new bass alongside a shitload more effects pedals and a pedal board, put together a beastly bitcoin miner, and expand my record collection. After that, I'd probably invest in various rock and metal t-shirts and sustainable volumes of a wide variety of mind-altering contraband.

Id buy a house first decent size, out of the way with a small bit of land for a glasshouse and growing my own fruit and veg etc. Id have loads of trees all around for privacy and plant loads of pines so i could inoculate beneath with amanita muscaria.
Id sort my family out and a few good friends.
Id then travel the world to donate money to all the smaller conservation places that are saving land and breeding animals, not the big ones who take money and do shit, all the small ones that are making a difference.
Then id come back to my new glasshouse and grow cactus and other things commercially, not because i needed money, for fun and to spread them far and wide,
Id buy lots of animals to keep and look after.
Then id just travel around the world, and grow things at home use lots of Entheogens ha! Id be quite content.
Maybe bang out a sprog to leave it all too hahahaha Or leave to charity, not letting government take it.

I'd probably give my mother a new home on the beach(her dream). She has sacrificed so much for her own children, worked 2-3 jobs a week just to get us food on the table and clothing, the child support from my father helped pay for rent, but life has just been rough.
I'd Pay for college for my brother and sisters. Help me Get through med school. Invest intelligently.
Then move to Seattle, Washington. As for the rest of the $$$, I'm indecisive at the moment. Probably donate lots of it to the poor, find homeless men on the street and do stuff like this

Money would be better spent going towards a mutual fund of some sort rather than directly to a charity. That way, you could invest half of the interest gained per year into charities, and allow the other half to continually build. That way you would make a powerful contribution every year, and could establish an estate that will keep doing so long after your dead, giving money to whatever charities you approved of in life.
This is how the Nobel Peace prize has continually payed recipients each year since it's inception, with payouts that gradually increase each decades and stay well ahead of inflation. The starting sum he left to start the foundation was 9 million dollars, a lot of money in the late 1800s.
Granted, 10 million won't get as far today as 9 million did back then, but there is plenty of charitable causes that are arguably more worthy of the same funding technique as the Nobel prize, and that you could potentially make less political and less corrupted after many decades pass.

First I'd buy a house somewhere in the neighbourhood here. Then I'd buy a nice, but not extravagant car.
The rest of the money I'll use to live off modestly, as I live now, so that instead of grinding away my life for some huge corporation, I can spend all my time doing work in the community. (Nature organizations, mental health care, care for the elderly, organizing neighbourhood parties.. I do all that anyway, but it sucks that I need to have a job so I can't focus on what is really important. Money like that would change everything.)

I would build a fortified self sufficient off the grid xeriscaped horticulture forest compound by a lake deep in the woods with a massive deep underground bomb shelter / bunker underneath it that is also food producing and self sufficient, with geothermal and solar power, gardens and greenhouses , livestock, etc.
Essentially I would attempt to construct a home base that would be capable of preserving my life and my wife's , as well as our carefully selected group of people, through the coming global methane cataclysm .

Well I lost it all. Took me 2 months to gamble it all away on what I thought was a sure thing. Funny, thought I would be crying in a corner having lost 10mil (and if this was real let's face it I probably would be), but am doing ok hehe.
Was actually going to throw a good $500-1000 real dollars on it, but lost that money months ago . It was worth 10,000,000 hypothetical dollars to see this upset, but only hypothetical dollars - thanks for this epic question Asante. Am broke

wow....10 million....thats a lot of dough.
I would first pay my debts, then buy some cool ass toys, cars, boats, jet skis, quads, mini helicopters, private jet maybe.
After that, i would hope to have a few million left i would get a house.
Then next i would buy some land and make a huge orphan compound and make a nice little community with outdoor and indoor activities, its own school, and "how to take psychedelics" courses of course 
Then i would get into flipping old shitty houses into modern masterpieces. That would be fun.
I would also make some sweet Marketplace contests here for some lucky shroomery members 
After that, i would hope to have a million left and be bummed i spent it all and hope to retire and travel the world.

First thing I would make sure several people I know who're close to me had their lives set, so this would leave me with 5 million.
My brother might have a kid soon, so he would be my first priority, and would give him 1.5 million, and I would give some money to my mom but she has some money coming to her when her dad dies, and she's getting older, so don't know how much to give her, but probably at least 1.5 million, and I would set it up so that whatever money she had left over when she died went to my brothers kid, and the two kids mentioned below, but only to the kids, not to myself, or my brother.
I know two kids that went through a touch time in the past because their parents were young and dumb, and I would set up some type of fund for them to have access to when they reached 21 years of age, or if they needed it for college, I would make it so only the kids could access the money, nobody else. I would give these kids 1 million each, leaving me with 5 million.
Then I would buy something that I could travel around the country with, nothing to fancy, maybe a Jeep with a popup camper on the back, and two decent bicycles to throw on there, and some proper camping gear.
I would consult with someone about finances, and see how much I would need to save in order to live a decent life the rest of my life, but I wouldn't want anything extravagant, that lifestyle turns me off, and with that amount of money I could figure out how much I needed to invest in certain things which would continue to make me money, and how much I could spend on traveling around the country and helping those in need.
I would put 1 million in the bank and from that buy my Jeep, popup camper, and gear I would need to travel around, then use the other 4 million to go around the country and make a positive impact on as many lives as I could. I would avoid major charities, and would rather see someone that needed something, and help them out that way, this would be more hands on I think, and that would be cool to actually see someone benefit from what you have given them.
You know see someone that needed an operation, and pay for it, build a house for people that needed it, find a family that was in debt, and take them out of it.
I would definitely try to find something to invest some money into, this way I could still have income coming in, maybe I could find a way to start a small business, you see people win the lottery then go broke from helping others out, I wouldn't want to be that way, I would be smart about it.
It's easy to be grateful with a large sum of money, and want to share that blessing with others, then next thing you're broke, so some wisdom would be needed when dealing with a situation like this.
I would probably like to get a business up and running which was involved in medical marijuana. I would not want to stop working because when I stop working/creating, I get very depressed. So after I helped some random strangers out around the country, would probably buy a very small home to live in, and then put the rest of my life into medicinal cannabis. Or perhaps I would buy a few trailers in different parts around the country, this way I could travel from coast to coast.
The video below really hits home with me, and I feel like the medical cannabis field to be one worth investing money in because it's on the up and up, and seems like a good field to get into because there's room for growth there.

Idk how far i could really get in this idea, but this would be my dream world. I set up my own off shore international water drug laboratory. I load it with drones that transport the drugs for me. Deep web users would pay through bitcoin and any drug would be within an hour of any united states resident. After enough time i would expand and build a couple more plants and eventually dominate the drug trade.
Think big boss in metal gear solid phantom pain, but with drugs.
