My luck I'd probably die in a car wreck on the way to cash the check.
But if I got the Mil, I'd build a small cabin in the Canadian rockies with a woodstove, and buy a house in the outter banks of NC with a boat. Then I would invest the rest and hopefully never have to work again.

Buy the Portland Trailblazers.
Fill the roster with my friends. Introduce the first ever Female NBA Player, just for noteriety.
Really, It's not like they would be a WORSE team if I did this.
And I'd have to have a pretty large Boat. One of Adequet size to support my Oceanic Lifstyle of Partying on the Randal Flagg scale. Ingesting more drugs than food, I would'nt live long either. Probably best this never happens.

1. pay for college. 2. helicopter 3. new powder skis 4. large cabin/plot of land in BC 5. helicopter pilots. 6. take care of the family. 7. Throw an enormous week long party with any sort of vice available that one could possibly want for my friends.
and save the rest of the cash for what ever comes up.

-Donate money to all the organizations/countries/causes I desperately wish I currently could -Continue going to college for the rest of my life, and never have to worry about paying for my tuition, or getting a job to support myself -Travel like crazy when I wasn't attending school -Buy land and a house and amazing growing supplies, and tell all my homeys to put their baggies back -Give all of my family members - even the ones I dislike - a large sum of money so they could all finally be financially stable -Live the good life (get a wonderful massage, eat exquisite food, relax, etc.) -Use my newfound power from my money to meet people previously untouchable to me
I'd spend tons of money on concerts & musicals & movies & albums & books & such, as well.

Oh, I'd also start a party promotion company, or start working with one that already has alot of ties/networking power and start throwing my own club-nights and booking the DJs I like. I wouldnt really care if I made money off of the parties or not - I'd just want to throw the kind of parties that I'd want to goto :P

I would also fund an army of Christian radicals to go into the middle east to tear down mosques and replace them with churches made of gold.

Every cent towards creating some sort of charity. A scholarship maybe. I've seen way too many Dateline specials that feature past lottery winners that spent selfishly and are now totally miserable.

Well, the problem is because they are gaining a large sum of money that they don't know how to handle...and it's not like normal income. Selfishness tends to make a ton of money if you do it right (just look at the business world).
Anyways, I would immediately invest 80 to 90% for two years or so while I'm busy drawing up the new plan of action. Then I would invest in a few up and coming companies...but mainly...I would start my own. I have plenty of prototypes that need to get off the ground. Plus, there are an insane amount of profitable ventures around...it just takes MONEY.
And then I would do a ton of drugs...
