Pay off the house and then invest the rest. No point living with debt if you don't have to.

Hookers and blow for everyone!

Oh wait, that's a different script.

Hmmm ... disconnect and get an unlisted number. Have your attorney or PR agent step up to claim the winnings in front of the cameras if you don't want the publicity. Consider bank accounts in Liechtenstein, Isle of Man, Vanuatu, and/or Grand Cayman. Finally surrender to the temptations of homes in the tropics, cars, boats, planes, and private islands. Hang out in Mustique. Buy a foreign country.

Oh yeah, and maybe buy a Ducati.  [thumbsup]

Nope, no paper cut.  I did manage to get all 5 numbers.  Too bad they didn't match the winning numbers.  No blue S4 for me today.  [bang]
