First thing I buy, 1969 GTO, and a 383 stroker off of Jegs.

Wow, hard question, but first and foremost, hire a finacial advisor to make sure I don't get too careless and can live comfortably for the rest of my life and be able start my kids off on the right foot.

Then, not in this particular order:
Pay off debts.
Build decent sized house with a seperate garage for all the vehicles I want.
Help my parents/sister(and her husband) out a little.
Open my own computer shop and/or Martial Arts school.(Gotta do something away from the house, I get bored easy)
Then, the usual geeky stuff, build my own kickin pc, nice big size tv, all PS3/Xbox360/Wii stuff I want.

Good answers so far.
I'd buy or build a nice moderate size house in N.C.
Buy some nice cars and bikes and a boat.
Invest some, and of course a financial advisor.

well about 50g of that would get dumped into the blazer right off the top.
i would divide enough of the 330million into an investment of some form where i would be happy with the amount of interest coming in for a steady income to live off of
then depending how much i have left i would buy out the owner of my work, buy out the building next door to expand and dump some cash in to reno and get everything dialed in......i would keep the owner on staff and still be involved in it, just because i like my work so much
then i would help out the gf with her racing and make sure she has everything possible she could need to help her excel in that.
help out the parents and a few little helpful pushes for other family (no handouts, just something to help them in the right directions)
then a few toys and budget so that for the rest of my life i wont have to work harder than i want to and will be able to do everything...with 330 million thats a TON of cash and this could go on for WAY longer if into more detail. haha

Yup. It ABSOLUTELY ZERO! And if we win in the states and come back theres a lawyer firm to get at least some of it back. lol Not the other way around for you mericans unfortunately; You cant win here and take it all back.

That would be a dream come true for a lazy bum like me!

First things first- most of it goes to Neko. New paint- everywhere- complete dissembly, sanding, and professional repainting with only the highest quality paint... Glossy black. Poly clear coat. New radio, new interior, new tires, fix everything.

Then, buy a cheap old camper, get myself a bit of land someplace nice, and build myself a huge garage so that I could work in it, then I can live out my days peacefully, making trails all through my land so that I could have someplace to PLAY!!! Then, after a long day of play, I can return to my luxurious camper, sit in a lawn chair outside and drink some ice cold tea while watching the sun go down, reflecting its glory off the hood of my beautiful Blazer, at which point I can go inside and get on here to tell everyone about it, and post all my awesome pictures.

Step 1) Join a church/religion that would let me opt out of the Social Security Ponzi Scheme.
Step 2) Cash that Pig in!
Step 3) I would watch more than $115 mil of my "winnings" go away as income tax.
Step 4) Gather a few snacks, fill the camelbak, and load up the SAR-3.
Step 5) Climp on to the roof and using my elevated position, pick off as many "well-wishers" and "hey-we-are-related" folk that would come running at me with their hands out.
Step 6) Succumb to my fate as the reloading of magazines becomes too long to facilitate an effective last stand.
Step 7) Be torn to shreds by the remaining horde.
Step 8) Wake from my dream-turned-nightmare and go about my day.
