Well, the first thing I'd do is book and take my around the world Disney vacation, including a cruise! Then I think I'd retire at the end of the school year and arrange for BFF to retire too. Pay for my kids' educations, invest, remodel house, etc. Fun to think about!

We always say we would take the first plane to Orlando, first class of course, and not pack anything. Just have fun and stay as long as we want. I would travel, pay off debt for my family and then just bank the rest. I am sure I can find something to do with all that money!!
That is a scary amount of money, but think of all the good you could do with that as well. I'd buy a house in Celebration and live between there and the UK and do lots of travelling and help lots of charities - as I say, you could do so much good with that much cash.
I would build a fully handicap accessible house for my family and my parents to live in- with some nice accessible treats for my mom. We would of course travel, pay for college and set up a trust for the kiddos, then give lots and lots to charities like St. Jude, Wound Warrior Project, and the National Multiple Sclerosis Association. I think it would be so cool to give random gifts out to people anonymously and see the joy that even little gifts can bring.
I would give 10% to my church since I can never seem to do that now, even though I know I would be blessed if I did. It would be so much fun to tell my preacher, "I won the lottery...and here is my tithe." lol I go to a really small church where we have Sunday school in the sanctuary.
THEN, I would buy a big victorian house over in Celebration so I could have my dogs with me when I travel. I would buy a couple of small cars just to keep in the garage there too!
I would have the most fun paying off all of my immediate family's debts.
The part that wouldn't be fun is all of the cousins and folks that never bother to speak to you any other time that would come out of the woodwork with their hands out. I think with some people it would never be enough and that would really bother me.
Pay off debt, tell work that I will work only when I want and do only projects that I like, travel, rebuild my house (it's almost 100 years old, with the "new" part 50 years, and the entire thing is really showing it's age!) I'd make certain that all the grandkids have adequate funds for college, including advanced degrees, and that the kids are debt-free. And I'd make a very generous gift to my church. And I'd probably be checking the bank accounts frequently, expecting it to disappear as magically as it appeared!
probably drop dead.......seriously, pay off mortgage/debts. settle the "kids" mortgagea/debts....hire full-time help for DH ( totally disabled in bed with MS) give to charity and be able to take a vacation without worry.
Have DH retire
Pay off the mortgage since it's my only debt, then SELL
Buy a larger house in the same town
Set up a LARGE trust for the kids with money alloted to care for DS
Fund research into causes / prevention / treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorders
First, hire a lawyer to set up some trust funds and a charitable trust. Then, start spending.
A house (I rent). Maybe a tv (don't own one). A few medical visits (haven't been to anything but a vet in years). A new vehicle while my twelve year old jeep gets a complete overhaul. An RV to tow the jeep with (gotta have a toad, right?). Regularly schedule some Disney time.
In short, put myself firmly in middle class and go from there.
Friends and family would get some lovin', of course. Oh, and some pre-paid Visa cards would be purchased for sprinkling about like pixie dust.

First and foremost, pay off the taxes owed on it along with all my debts and Rachel's. Second, I would set trust funds aside for the kids, and then give my siblings 4 million each. I would give my parents 2 million...even tho they have shunned me from their lives and don't want contact with me, Rachel, or Elizabeth. Third, I would purchase a 5 bedroom home with property and set the rest aside. Every year I would travel, first in the United States, and then slowly start visiting other countries.
