While I agree with DDDave that I'd have more money then I'd know what to do with, I'd definitely pass some on to Aunts and Uncles, as well as probably funding all of my cousins' college educations should they decide to go. (I've had to stuggle my way thru on loans and working my ass off and I wouldn't wish this on anyone) Also I'd at least pay off my two roomates' college debt because they've put up with me for two years, and since next year is the last of 4 years of professional coursework, I'd likely tell my ~150 classmates who I've been in this program with since we finished undergrad that next years tuition was on me. All of that still probably wouldn't kill more than 5 mil. Then then normal buy myself and parents a house etc. I'd absolutley pay off my older brothers medical bills (been fighting cancer for a few months now) and probably give him and his wife a nice "per diem" to enjoy as well.
After that, I'd invest enough so I wouldn't have to worry about money, and hopefully pay for my kids' lives and college and enough to get on their feet once out of college, I'd do what I could for appropriate charaties, and probably try and start some sort of organization of mine own.
I don't think I would just give money to people with the balls to ask, because for one like has been said: once word got out, a LOT of people would have the balls to ask. Not to mention could I really trust they need the money? Doubtful.
