-I'd probably give half away, and then invest the other half in safe things, and live a simple life. Wouldn't spend more than my investments made for me on a yearly basis.
-I'd definitely travel for a year or so where people didn't know about my wealth.
-I'd ride my motorcycle across the world, and camp wherever possible.
-I'd pursue photography a lot more, and try to have exhibitions, etc.
-Would love to volunteer for some sort of non-profit that allowed me to travel, photograph, and meet people. I love people and their stories.

In Canada you don't pay taxes on winnings. I would immediately transfer all my funds to a private tax sheltered island somewhere. Make some investments so that I can continue to gain massive interst on my 50 mil and sail the Mediterranean on a fully chartered yacht for a couple months.

First, I'd hire the best financial planners, accountants and lawyers so I didn't fritter all the money away.
Then, in no particular order:
Take my kids on an overseas holiday every summer – paying my ex, or take her to court for custody.
Start a design studio, and set it up so that I could spend time travelling and working overseas. I'd also have in house screen printing, letterpress, foiling and lasercutting facilities just because :D
Improve my Japanese and spend 6 months in Japan as an Uchi Deshi at a respected Karate dojo.
Get married, finally. :)
Climb some mountains (including Fuji and Kilimanjaro).
Spend up big on Cameras, lenses, tripods etc. and explore photography like I've always wanted.
Set up a foundation to help educate and supply housing and the best medical care to Aboriginals, as well as to help preserve their language and cultures.
I'd be just as or even busier than I am now :)
- I forgot the houses in several countries and meeting heaps of QBNers... and lots of other stuff.Amicus
