But before any state taxes.
If you take the cash option, of course

What would I do?

First, get the HELL out of Dodge! For 6 months at least.
Travel. A LOT!
Take all the great train journeys of the world.

Spend 2 or more nights in all the great, historic hotels.

Tip every food service person $1000

When I got done screwing around, do some real good for a lot of people.

Fund a music department at my old high school. Set up scholarships for the students.

Buy one of those big customized Prevost motor coaches and put 100,000 miles on it and never drive on an interstate

In short, do good things and have fun.
