In terms of what he's going to spend it on in prison: A) Lawyer, for appeals or just representation for any of his needs, B) Cigarettes, heh, and C) Remember, people get paroled. A 75-year old inmate looks forward to getting out a lot more with 17 million waiting for him on the outside.
As far as anyone else getting money from him, legally, no. They didn't see it coming, too late to whine now. Morally though, yeah, any sort of windfall that convicts come into whilst in jail ought to be kicked to victims compensation funds. So the moral foundation leads to legal suggestions. The problem lies in people that are found to be factually innocent after the fact: Who's going to pay an innocent convict back?
Also, just because the odds of winning the lotto are bupkis doesn't mean legislating these matters ought to be put off: There's also inheritances of a dead relatives estate.
