Hire a reliable financial planner, divide the money equitably among my responsibilities, plan a well deserved vacation and search for a good business in something I enjoy doing. That would probably take at least 3 days.

1)Get a lawyer(I knew or was recommended to)
2)Get a financial manager(same as above)
3) Find something to invest about 1/4 to 1/2 of it so I dont spend it all.
4) Put the balance in a trusted bank
5)Tell only whom I feel would not go nuts over it and want some too.
What a wonderful thing it would be to do what you want without any worries of $$$$ issues

Hire a contract lawyer and an accountant
Seperate it out.
$13 million set aside for taxes adjusted later.
$1 million for a house (the houses where I live average $640,000).
$2 million in 30 year U.S. bonds for retirement
$2 million to live on (food, clothing, bills)
$2 million to family

Find and hire a great financial planner!
I guess the first thing I'd do is verify it.
Then I'd take steps to keep it as much a secret as possible, identify the charities I want to give to (so when scammers try to get to me later, I can say with a clear conscience, "No, the money has already been allotted.") and determine how I want to fund my retirement and my children's college and first homes.
I doubt I'd get it in one large chunk, so I think it would take a lot of planning.

Tell my daughters and families to be quiet, but be prepared to relocate. Leave town for a few weeks.
