I'd go to music school instead of law school.
I'd buy a house in my hometown (which has, in the past 10 years, become too expensive for my generation to return to after college) 
I'd fill my house with instruments. Arcane percussion instruments strewn all throughout the house. The chairs would double as bongo drums. Pianos / keyboards everywhere.
I'd have a recording studio on the ground floor. Epic setup. Tre Anastasio's exact guitar and amp quiver. An obscenely perfect drum set with all the fixins (timbales, chimes, mini-toms, you name it).
DJ booth above the basketball/volleyball court with an amazing soundsystem that goes thorugh the whole house and plays softly in the bathrooms.
Whatever is left I'd invest and live off the interest. And spend the interest on having huge tripping music parties. And raves, and concerts.

first thing i'll do is ensure that no matter what i'd nevr have to worry about money again... if that means investing some of it or simply putting a big chunch in the bank to gain interest
then i'd help out my family and friends (paying the mortgage for my brothers, ensuring my perents retiremnt, give my friend enough money to record her albume and help another friend with his starting family)
after that i'd like to spend some time living one my own in diffrent places (vancouver, amsterdam, a ture in australia, ice land, london maybe even russia, japan and china?) and also going to see my favourit bands preform live all over the world!
if i find out i'd rather live away from home (not that home is so far when you don't have to worry about money) then i'd buy some land wherever i decide... i'll have a greenhouse and a grow room, music room (kinda like what Noviseer described) and as others wished for... i'd also like to have raves in my property 
i'll spend my time studying all the esoteric things i'm interested in growing diffrent plants i always wanted to grow and basically try to make the most of my self 
i will probably donate or even get involved with MAPS, Erowid, the Shroomery and a few more...
i just hope i'd allow my self to break free and expiriance everything i've always wanted and actually fulfill my self rather then induldge

I'd build a large house on some land with smaller houses around it for my family and friends to live/visit if they wanted. I would then invest the money needed to make the houses run on solar power. I would also take a long vacation around the world.

I'd hire a crack army of former SAS mercenaries, kit them out with ludicrous weaponry and launch a succesful coup in a small, insignificant country that no powerful figures in the international community would particularly care about. A medium sized tropical island would be ideal, preferably oil rich.
Then design a silly uniform and run the place as I see fit, possibly sort its population out so they don't feel like starting a revolution against me. Once this was done, turn its capital into the sort of place that makes a combination of Amsterdam, Prague and Bangkok look about as debauched as my gran's lounge (which isnt very.)

The main thing I would do was starting a perpetually self-funding charity, which will be around for long after I'm gone. It would give me great satisfaction to be able to help people on a massive scale, beyond my lifespan.
But I'll probably blow $10.000.000 or so on personal enjoyments throughout my life. A billion or so poor people in the world have to get by on $400 a YEAR, thats a grand total of $20.000 for fifty years of hard work. That just isn't right. If ten million can't satisfy your lifetime need for material goods, the excess will probably add little more enjoyment. The best things in life tend to be free or come cheap.
Even if it was a billion, then still $990.000.000 would go to said charity, which would be focussed on improving living conditions and quality of life in sub-saharan Africa. Somebody has got to do something.

First order is to pay the bills. Second order would be to purchase a new vehicle, third would be to purchase a house.
Then buy a bunch of shit for the house.
Then continue going to school and finishing. While in school money will be invested into some cds, mutual funds, and a small amount to invest in small cap stocks.
After college, start my own biz. Then build it up make more money, and then retire at an early age and travel.

General reply...
I'd buy a Toyota Prius, a house, find out how much I'd need invested to live off interest, split a portion of the remainder for friends/family, and donate what's left over.
House would be modest but in a nice area, and anyone close to me could crash there assuming they remained civil.
