I don't mean to be unpopular, but its not real money if you can't invest some of it, in real estate at the very least.
I don't play lottery, and hope I never will, because I feel that its a matter of faustian bargains and comedic circumstances which don't pay out in the end.
I will refer to a list I made recently of what I would do if I managed to earn 50,000,000 through a radically new invention:
1. Move to a different state.
2. Investigate mystical traditions, possibly purchasing rare texts.
3. Take some good vacations.
4. Hire a cook.
What I would do with 5,000,000:
1. Investigate the right place to live
2. Eat quality food
3. Invest
4. Travel
5. Spend time considering my life path and how to improve myself
6. Buy more books
7. Buy exercise equipment
What I would do with 1,000,000:
1. Buy a house, leaving some money to pay bills
2. Save money for food and clothing
3. Improve my wardrobe
4. Try new foods
5. Eat out
There are additional things I would do with 1,000,000,000 dollars:
1. Have a beautiful house designed by an architect
2. Found a pro art organization or school
3. Donate to charity
4. Travel
5. Build gardens
6. Eat at the best restaurants
7. Invent as a hobby, have things constructed on the grounds
8. Find a good doctor
9. Hire a chauffeur (and bodyguards).

I wouldn't spend it. I would invest it. It shouldn't be hard to earn 7% annally which would amount to 350,000 per year gross income. I would live off the earned income and preserve the rest for earning potential. I would even put in my will that my descendents not be able to withdraw from the original 50 million. I would also specify that they put the earnings to good use like college funds for example. After several generations I would allow the 50 million to be distributed amongst my family.

I'd keep enough to keep me comfortable and give the rest to charity. And by comfortable I mean a roof over my head and clothes on my back and food in my cupboards.

Land, maybe thousands of acres, I would use it while I'm alive and make it into a park when I was old.
